Exactly as advertised

Easy to put the wheel kit on. Fired up in just a couple of pulls using Propane. Will use it for limited whole house emergency backup. Sound level much less than all the leaf blowers in my neighborhood. At 50' cannot even hear it inside. Wish it was tri-fuel as I have LNG at the house.

This thing is a BEAST

We bought this generator in the midst of a power outage. In order to ensure I got the generator running in tip top condition, I used another reviewer’s method of using the supplied oil with 2oz marvel mystery oil and running for 30 minutes on gas, then changing oil with pennzoil 10w30 with 2oz marvel mystery oil, running for one hour on gas, then changing oil with royal purple engine break in oil and running for about four hours on propane varying the load on the generator, and finally changing the oil to Mobil 1 extended performance 10w30. After this, I used the generator for nearly 72 straight hours, going through two tanks of ethanol free gas, and due to ethanol free gas being difficult to find during our power outages, switched to propane for the remainder of the time. The generator uses fuel efficiently, and had no problem running two refrigerators, a deep freezer, the wifi router, a television, a space heater, a medical assist bed and recliner, and BOTH blowers for the gas heat. This generator allowed me to keep my grandparents in their house during the ice storm, and proved to be worth every penny. This thing ran like a top, and didn’t disturb any of the neighbors. I would highly recommend this generator to any of my friends or family.

Other good ratings; not a bad cost

I bought this last month, but; I have not had a cause to use it as yet. I started it up and tested for a half hour and it seemed to work ok. Being able to use propane and/or gasoline is a bonus in that you don't have to mess with gas and have to remove the unused portion from the tank. I don't imagine that I will need it often, just for emergency power outages. One drawback is it only having 2 regular outlets for power. My previous generator had 4.

Initial start up use

Purchased after review of the use capabilities for home backup and RV power. Appreciated the dual fuel option. Initial startup as expected. Instructions for assembly and running were great. Had problem with putting on frame feet. One nut was off center from the hole for the bolt, blocking the installation.

Won't get caught out in the cold again!

This year proved to be one for the record books in Texas. As if Covid wasn't enough, Mother Nature decided to bless us with a Snowpocalypse. Below freezing temps for a week and more snow and ice than we see in a 20 year period. Since it doesn't happen often enough to be concerned, the Texas power grid wasn't prepared. As a result, we lost power to the house for over a week. That made for some really cold days and nights. Swearing I'd never endure that again, I bought this generator based on a large number of positive reviews, price, and the name brand. It's now hooked up via transfer switch to the house, and we're ready for what comes.

Best deal great product

I was looking to buy a good generator for my house and after all the research and reading all the reviews I found the perfect one for my house, The Wgen5300DFV is the perfect one for me and it runs with Fuel or Propane Gas is the best one you can find like this and at a great price.

Extra surprise

When I bought this I was really surprised in the quality of the unit and the ease of getting it ready to go. Easy setup and easy to start .. I had other brands of generators and this is the best for the money and will look forward to using it when emergencies arise or just when I need it for other uses .. thanks for a great product!

Saved me during a tornado

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!

EASY solution to keep power running

After the last power outage of 8 hours in 10 degree weather, this generator was top on my list for preparedness. Reasonable price, needed wattage for my house, 20/30 amp, 120/240 - perfect for my home needs. Setup was a breeze, no instructions needed to install wheels and dampers. Adsed the included oil, waited to add fuel until I slowly cycled the pull starter 10 times to get oil to internals. Added a gallon of fuel, turned on the run switch and choke, started on the FIRST PULL. Turned choke off after about 45-50 seconds, engine smoothed out and the voltage hit 120 and leveled in maybe 5 seconds. Flipped to 240, hit voltage in 5 seconds. Let it run another minute, switched back to 120, leveled off in 5 seconds. LOVE the threaded oil funnel and the included 4 stroke oil was exactly the correct amount. As I stated, this generator could not have been easier to set up and get running. WELL worth the price and I don't have to worry about power outages any more.
