Peace of Mind is Priceless

I bought this generator during the state's sales tax holiday in preparation for the upcoming hurricane season. My husband and I were most attracted to the dual fuel option since gas can be difficult to obtain in the aftermath of a storm. After running the unit for an hour on propane, he said it operated correctly. We feel confident that this product will be well worth the money spent should we experience an active hurricane season.

Perfect generator

I bought this a few weeks ago and couldn’t be happier with my decision. It offers the perfect amount of power to run my Fridge, chest freezer, internet, tv’s, charge phones etc. I plan on strictly using propane to avoid the hassle of storing and rotating gas.

easy starting

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.

New dual fuel generator

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.

Great machine

Haven’t used this yet, but we bought it because we borrowed a Westinghouse 5300 just Haven’t used it yet, but we bought this machine because we borrowed a Westinghouse 5300 just like it to get us through a power failure and it worked really well. Ran two fridges, fans, TV & lights and still had power to spare. Easy to start and it ran 9 hours on a 20 lb. tank of propane . I highly recommend this machine.

Great Generator!

I bought this generator less than a month ago and was very pleased with the purchase. The 4800 Watt on propane has fulfilled my needs perfectly in my RV. My only complaints are that the manual says that 240 V us available at the 4 prong twist lock only but when I tried it I had the 120V standard connector to my RV plugged in and 240 V was sent thru that connector too! This blew out various motors in my RV (evaporative water pump, fan, microwave) as well as the inverter I had hooked to my solar battery. The statement in the manual is incorrect and was very costly to me.

Great generator

Purchased this generator in preparation for hurricane season, and did it come in handy when Hurricane Ida hit and left me with no lights for days. I was able to power a window unit, fridge, deep freezer, and other things. If you don’t have a generator I would recommend to buy this one or a bigger one to fit your needs. I loved the option of switching from gas to propane it was an easy transition.

Quality at a discount

I just bought this generator and I’m very satisfied with it so far. At this price I really didn’t expect the quality I got, I half expected something flimsy and oblong. The best part for me is the propane option. I don’t expect to run it often, so not having to worry about gas going bad and gumming up the carb is awesome.

Easy to use! GREAT power output for the price!

This generator was purchased during the power outage caused by hurricane Helene and has been absolutely *CRUCIAL* for keeping our lives stable. It provides excellent power for the price, and can easily maintain a separate fridge and freezer at the same time as powering several home lights and small appliances, like a CPAP machine. Changing the oil could be improved if the drain plug was positioned better, but it is otherwise easy to do. Just make sure your pan is short (height-wise) and long enough to catch the oil as it falls and spreads along the frame below it. It only holds .74 quarts of oil (provided at purchase and about 24 oz) and needs to be changed after the first 25 hours of use. After that it needs to be changed every 50 hours. The generator will run for approximately 13-14 hours on a full tank of 4.7 gallons of gas. If you prefer, it can use propane as a fuel source, but we have not used it with propane. Overall highly recommend this product.

Exactly what I needed.

The WGEN5300DFV has every option that I need for my travel trailer and temporary critical power supply for my residence. The gas or propane was the decision maker besides the positive customer reviews. I've already used it so my review is current. Great product.
