I researched traditional generator sets for months and decided on the WGen5300. For a home owner needing backup power in an outage, it has a decent size power capacity while still being light enough for two people to easily pick it up to move it to a different location if necessary, very happy with this purchase.

Bought my new generator after my last hand- me-down on did no start this hurricane season. Easy to set up and it started the first try. Love how it can be powered by gas or by the propane tank on my BBQ grill. I have even used it to power up my pop up camper with the 30 amp plug.

Living in the South we were concerned about losing power due to storms. We were looking for a generator to power the refrigerator, freezer and maybe a fan. This fit the bill perfectly. We really like the fact that it is dual power so if there is a shortage of gas we are still able to run it. Hopefully we won't need it but it sure is nice to know that it is ready to go in the event of an emergency.

I purchased this generator just over a month ago and have used it several times. I needed a way to power my RV while boondocking in southern California. While running, this generator will charge my batteries, power the A/C unit, heat my water, run my fridge and power my 120v devices at the same time using the 30A plug. I run it on a 20lb propane tank before switching over to the gas tank. The generator will run for most of the day on 20lb of propane and slightly longer on the 4.7gal tank of gasoline. The generator certainly isn't quiet, but it is essential for powering my devices when I don't have an electrical hookup. It was also reasonably affordable compared to similarly sized models by other brands. One feature I would have liked was an electronic starter so that my battery inverter could automatically start the generator when my battery level falls below a certain threshold, but for the tradeoff in cost, I can handle turning it on and off manually. It only takes 2-3 pulls of the cord to start on both propane and gasoline, with a large knob to easily switch between the two. I run the generator in the bed of my truck making sure to put it in the center to give it as much clearance as possible. It does put out a lot of heat, but doesn't appear to harm my truck bed. It would probably be better to run the generator on the ground, but it's a little too heavy for me to be lifting in and out of the truck bed when I need to use it. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase.

This is exactly what I was needing. This is enough to run 75% of my 2700 SQ FT home during a power outage, run my Camper (Entire Camper) or provide power when I am using one of my secondary garages on my property. My friends and family have already asked how well it runs. It's great. Easy to set up. Takes a bit of time to get it started the first time, but that is to be expected. I hooked up a few items to break it in and let it run for a full 5 hours and changed the oil. This is a gem. Trust me, buy this if you are considering a generator. I will be hooking my camper up to it next (24 Ft camper, with stove, fridge, and lights) and I am sure it will run perfectly.

Used during a power outage from Hurricane Helene. Powered fans and charged phones, etc. Unfortunately was not able to get before we lost everything in refrigerator and freezer so did not use to power anything like that but feel sure could have with no issues. Happy with purchase and glad will have it for future issues we might face. FYI used Propane and generator usually started with only 2-3 pulls.

nothing else to buy when you take this unit home - only your fuel choice - everything else is provided in the box. - wheels,pre-assembled and attached protective frame with fold away handle,oil,funnel,propane hose with regulator and tool kit - WOW !!

Just bought this; breaking it in per the instructions. I will tell you this. IF you are switched on the 240 volt, YOU CAN NOT use the receptacle. It's either the twistlock or nothing. Wish I new that before. This is not like other generators. I'm not recommending this til I use it. Nothing personal.

Bought this generator to help us with the Power Shutdowns going on here in California. It was pretty easy to unbox and put together the wheels and bottom bombers. The instructions are pretty straight forward and clear to understand. I put the oil, gas and powered it, started right up on the first pull. ran it for the recommended hour to break-in the motor. Over all I'm very happy with this purchase/investment.

I just got the generator. Easy to install wheels and feet. Added supplied oil and am beginning with propane. Started right up. Using propane as that is what I have and prefer to store when not in use with an empty fuel tank. Seems to be just what I was looking for, clean lines, compact and fairly quiet. Again, I haven't used for its intended purpose yet so only 4 stars.
