One too many power outages without backup. Great peace of mind that is inexpensive compared to loss of cold/frozen food, house lights and contact with the outside world (battery recharge). Easy setup and break-in just prior to the second power outage in a month.

I just bought the unit this week, but I ran it through set up and engine break-in. I also ran my shop vac off it after break-in and also tried both gas and propane fuels. Very easy to switch between fuels - you don't even have to stop the engine or interrupt the electrical generation.

I have only started it and it is in the break in phase now. I normally review after I've used it for some time, but they want this reviewed at registration. It has the features I want at the right price: dual fuel, G14 plug, TT30 plug, fairly efficient engine, and has wheels!

Generator quality out of the box is much better than my previous one. If the problem I describe doesn't repeat I would give this 5 stars for the value. Fired right up on propane, dowever I had to stop about 20 minutes into break in and when I tried to restart on propane I could not get it to run, would just sputter and die. Switched to gas and started right up. Hoping this was just due to break in and will not run into this problem in the future.

I purchased this generator after a recent power outage lasting three days. The unit appears to be well built. Assembly (wheels and feet) was quick and simple. I was impressed that this unit is dual fuel. I had never seen that before in a small generator. The only thing that I am unsure of is the 240 volt/120 volt selector switch. It appears that you cannot run a 120 volt item at the same time you run a 240 volt item. For example, I could not run my well pump and at the same time have a lamp on in the house. If this is the case, I can work around it. My well pump, hot water heater and stove are probably all the 240 volt that I would use. Probably would not use the dryer. And then I could only use one at a time. This unit was purchased as an emergency power generator to be used at my home during utility power outages. So, it may not get a lot of use. I have not actually run this unit yet but plan to do the one hour break in soon so that it will be ready to go should I need it.

We bought this generator in case we needed it for one of TX many storms, and sure enough we used it this past week with storm Beryl. The dual fuel came in handy when in the early hours there was no gas to be found, so we used the propane tank (which didnt last as long as regular gas does) and then we found gas at a gas station and refueled it, so both fuel types work, just the propane tank only lasted about 4 hrs. Setup was pretty easy and straight forward. The wheels come in handy for easy transportation. Overall I recommend this generator.

I just received my generator today and was easy to assemble (put on wheels), was easy to add oil with the supplied funnel that screws into the oil port and was easy to start. I am currently using only propane as it comes with a decent length hose and easily attaches to generator. It took a couple of pills before starting but it did have to get the propane into the system. It ran nice and smooth and did as it should when I hooked up a good sized leaf blower to see how it reacted. I haven’t added gas as I won’t use gas until an actual power outage that I hope doesn’t come.

This is a must have if you live in an area with an unstable grid (i.e.- Southern California in the Summer). Our power went out during a time when we were hosting friends, and this bad boy allowed me to cook on two electronically controlled pellet grills while charging all my portable devices and running outdoor lighting. I recommend it to everyone I know.

I purchased the WGen5300DFcv a few months ago for storm and weather preparedness. I just used it after a storm left us without power. Powers all the essentials, easy start and maintenance. In addition, also runs on propane! This is 10/10; certainly a great purchase and investment.

I live in the hurricane zone in Louisiana so it's important to be prepared. This generator seems to fit the bill. It's a small package, but delivers the right amount of power for us to connect to our transfer switch that will run most items in our house when the power goes out.
