Just what I needed

The generator came well packaged and only required putting on wheels and adding oil. Started right up. It's a great advantage to have the option to use gasoline or propane to run the generator. Its powerful enough to keep the sump pump, fridge, microwave and portable heaters and other appliances working in the event of a power outage. Don't forget to purchase a cover to protect the generator when running out in the elements.

WGen5300DFcv

Purchased this dual fuel generator for emergency home use. Quick setup and easy operation. Have only made test runs getting ready for a future outage with no negative issues. Pleased with the operation thus far. Unit is well constructed and should last for many years with good maintenance practices.

Just as Expected

Generator arrived clean and well packaged. Assembly of wheels and feet was a breeze. (Dont forget to add included engine oil) Filled the gas tank and it fired up easily. Now I cant wait to lose power in the next storm so I can turn on all my lights and show off to the neighborhood.

I need to update my earlier review!

In my earlier review the generator was fairly new. This past weekend we headed to camp, we fired up the generator and it ran for 50 straight hours. What an awesome machine. The box says it'll run 16 hours on a tank of fuel, I can confirm this to be true - over 16 hours actually! Yes, I definitely would recommend this one all day long!

Dual Fuel is the way to go.

We got this generator to keep the lights on and the food cold; because of all the Bomb Cyclones and atmospheric rivers coming through California. It is a little load, but I haven't had any problems w/ it doing what it was supposed to do. It burns approx. 1/2gal of propane an hour. Like the wheels and foldable handle for moving.

Fairly Light and easy to start.

I purchased the WGen5300DFCV some time ago and finally decided to unbox it. It was easy to assemble . It came with 4 stroke 10W30 oil 0.7 litter . It’s a bit loud. It’s fairly easy to start up with the instructions on a sticker on top of the generator. It is dual fuel one of the main reasons I got it. I would recommend it.

VERY PLEASED

I bought this item a week ago. Shipping was delayed a couple of days but it arrived in good order. I judge this machine to be of high quality with excellent workmanship. Easy to read and undeerstand the instructions, fired right up and it works great. Totally exceeds my expectations.

Good bang for the buck

I looked at several big box stores, and compared prices among several brands. For wattage vs cost, this generator was the best value. Assembly was very easy. The necessary basic tools are included, and the wheels attach with cotter pins. Assembly took maybe 5 minutes. Oil comes drained and will need to be filled with the included oil bottle. The generator fired up on the first pull. Idled just fine for a few minutes. I only tried using a 1/2" impact wrench to remove/install a trailer tire, although it was purchased for hurricane preparation. Whenever I pressed the trigger on the impact wrench, the engine would very briefly hiccup but ran fine overall, and otherwise had no electrical or engine issues. I assume that's normal when applying an electrical load. It's certainly not quiet, but I would guess that most aren't. It's my first generator, and at this time I have no regrets. As long as it keeps doing what it's doing, you can't really beat the price, and the 3-year warranty seems fair.

WGen5300DFv Easy setup / start up

I bought this unit about a month ago and have only done the setup and break-in. Packaging was good easy instructions and setup. I filled it with oil, chose the Propane setting, and it fired right up on the first pull. I let it run about 45 min. and changed the oil (would strongly recommend) very black and some small metalic sparkle to it. I repeated this 2x more and the oil looked great on the last change. I had no issues while this was running, and it was not that loud for what it is. I love the dual fuel aspect of this as it is way easier to store propane than it is gasoline. just waiting for the power to go out this winter to get the first use in. I would recommend this to a friend for sure.

120/240 Switch

One thing to note. This generator cannot put out 120v and 240v simultaneously per the manual. I bought this to power my well which is on an adjacent property and requires 240v so it is perfect for my situation. I have another generator for my house. If you need 120v and 240v at the same time you need a different generator.
