I actually purchased this generator a little over a month ago. Have not had to use till February the 18th with our recent ice storm taking the power out from limbs acorss the lines. Had previously gased it up with ethanol free gas n the oil came from the factory which is a great bounus. It ran great n wasnt that loud once it was under the awning on the porch. But kept the inside frezzer n refrigator . Plus the TV and 2 lights. I have a secondary line to hook to the well if needed . But had prepared.

I Bought this Generator for backup power in case of a power outage. I haven't needed it yet but tied it in to my transfer box at home and simulated a power fail a couple of times now. I was quite happy with the performance of this gen. I powered a water well pump, Sewer pump, Electric hot water heater microwave, and a couple of the circuits. I did not max out the suggested amperage limit but got close. The gen only throttled up when the Hot water heater or the well pump kicked on, but settled down immediately. I would recommend this generator to anyone seeking one for the same reason.

I tried to break-in the motor on propane but it wouldn't start so I just broke it in with Gas. I called customer service about this issue and they were prompt in getting on the issue. I haven't tried running the propane since breaking it in with gas but I know the warranty will fix it regardless so I'm not worried about it.

I just bought this generator brand new. followed all of the instructions, filled with the supplied oil and attached my propane tank. I could not get it to start after over 50 hard pulls of the cord and changing the choke settings and verifying the switches, re-reading the manual a dozen times. then I filled it with brand new gasoline, switched the settings to gas and still had a lot of difficulties to start it, but luckily it started after about 30 hard pulls and changing the choke settings. the next day, I tried again and once again, it took about 20 hard pulls and it only starts with the choke on, which is different than what the manual says. I am praying that this generator will start when I actually need it.

Has everything you need in a dual fuel generator and you can't beat the price. More compact size than I thought which is a bonus! Hooked up the propane bottle, put it on choke and one pull gets you going. Remember this is a generator and not an inverter and as such will be louder.

After about a month of research, I decided to buy this product! During my research, I kept coming back to this generator as it had all of the features that I wanted and needed, it is made by a great company, and has a great warranty! The WGen5300DFv is a great buy from a company that stands behind their products!

I bought this for the hurricane season to be ready just in case a storm knocks power out. The fact that it gives you multiple fuel options really helps in case you run out of one fuel. With the amount of wattage, you can power multiple high wattage items. As for noise, it's a generator. The only way to get a semi quiet one is to get the smaller lower wattage ones. I hope to never need it for a worst case scenario but it's good to be ready.

I liked the Dual Fuel option on this model and easy starting when you fellow their manual. the generator was not any louder then a lawn mower, in fact it was quieter. I run my unit on propane so I don't know what the gas option would sound like. The size of unit is very maneuverable for the output of power it produces I have a WGEN5300DFV I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I bought this after being without power after the recent tornado here in Houston. I am new to generators but needed to save my food and charge things. The setup was quick and simple (stoppers and wheels) and the instructions were clear on how to use it. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!

We bought this during an ice storm when we lost power for a few days. We were surprised that this was in stock at the time and snatched one up. We immediately brought it home and set it up in no time at all. We were able to plug in our two refrigerators, a freezer, portable heater, electric blanket, some lamps, etc. Worked perfectly! We ran ours with propane, although gas can be used with an easy switch. We will look into hooking it up to our main breaker for future use. Highly recommend!!
