Worked Great

I actually purchased this generator a little over a month ago. Have not had to use till February the 18th with our recent ice storm taking the power out from limbs acorss the lines. Had previously gased it up with ethanol free gas n the oil came from the factory which is a great bounus. It ran great n wasnt that loud once it was under the awning on the porch. But kept the inside frezzer n refrigator . Plus the TV and 2 lights. I have a secondary line to hook to the well if needed . But had prepared.

Excellent

Received this generator as a Christmas gift and love it. It is very compact and easy to move with the wheels and has a nice look to it. It was very easy to start and it will definitely come in handy when needed during power outages, which we have had a lot of in recent years.

Just What I Was Looking For

Much, much research went into the purchase of this generator, and it's just right for our needs. Your needs may vary. This is enough for a refrigerator, a couple of computers, a few lights, a fan, and charging cellphones...maybe more, but we haven't tried more than that yet. Love the dual fuel, since propane stores well, doesn't go bad, and doesn't gum up the carb. I haven't run it on gasoline yet. The slightly lower power compared to larger generators means lower fuel consumption and longer run times per tank of propane. You don't want to be looking for gas or propane after a hurricane. Also wanted a generator that can easily be attached to a transfer switch (which needs to be installed by an electrician), so there aren't extension cords everywhere. This one fills all those needs and is compact to store in my small shed. Non-electric start is a plus for me, since there are no batteries to die and need replacing. This pull-starts easily. Only tradeoff is noise; it's an open-frame model and is louder than most inverters. Overall, very happy with this generator.

Great Features

I bought the dual fuel generator to make sure I was prepared for hurricane Francine. I love the fact that it can run off of either gasoline or propane. The advantage of using propane is that it runs quiet and there's no gas fumes. The only issue I had was that it didn't want to run at first. Until I downloaded the quick start manual and read it everything else was history.

Well built!

We just purchased this generator for our new RV! After the last snow storm we just had I thought it would be a good idea to have one, just in case! Glad we did! It's very well put together and easy to set up! I was amazed at how quiet it is compared to other generators in the park! I think we made a good purchase! TY!

Dual fuel, awesome!!!

This was a gift to me for Mother's Day from my stepdad. I haven't used it yet since I just got it, but I will update this review when I do. I'm thrilled that it can be run with either gas or propane. Living in Orlando, this will be a huge lifesaver during hurricane season. I'm prepared this year!!!

So far so good...

We purchased this generator in preparation for the upcoming winter season, so I reserve the privilege of updating my review. For now I'm giving it a probationary 5 stars. I set it up according to the instructions and decided to use propane for my initial test because using gasoline would've involved adding fuel stabilizer and dealing with potential gunk later since there remains at least three months before winter. It started on the 4th or 5th pull and I was pleasantly surprised to discover it's much quieter than I expected. I let it run for a couple-few minutes, then put my multimeter on it. 244 volts: perfect! Next I plugged it into the inlet box on the back of our house, and energized the emergency sub panel. I plugged in a 120 volt 1000 watt heat gun. The engine speed dipped for a moment, but bounced right back up again, no problem. The real test comes when the utility goes down.. I shall keep you posted. But so far so good 👍

Great Generator

I bought this when I had no power after hurricane Ian. I was able to run my refrigerator, fans, TV, satellite, phone chargers, induction cooktop, and instapot. Filled the tank with 4.7 gallons of gas in the morning and would get 15.5 to 17 hours of straight runtime. My brother-in-law seen almost the same runtime using propane.

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.

looks like it has a lot of good features.

I bought this generator over a month ago and it went together very easy. Instructions were clear and easy to understand. It had all the features that I would need for a generator and the dual fuel was a plus. I only started it for now, but will be using it a lot this summer and should get many years of service with it, because it appeared to be very well made.
