There when I need it the most

After Hurricane Beryl I was out of power for the next few days and I ended up purchasing the WGen5300. It was easy to setup and small enough to go through my doors of the house when I was taking it outside. My family ended up staying at the living room of our house where I powered up a portable ac unit, a light fixture, a charging station for our devices, and Wi-Fi. I'm pretty sure I could have plugged up a tv but in the next 10 hours my neighborhood got the electricity back. Overall, I am satisfied and that I can depend on the WGen5300 for any power outages to my house.

Duel fuel

I purchased this unit especially due to its dual fuel capabilities. This unit to my surprise came with propane regulator and hoses ready for use and worked very well. The unit instructions for start up were very helpful and the generator started easily.

Good Product. Instructions & Price

Bought this to replace a higher priced generator that was giviing me trouble the day before a hurricane was forecasted. I purchased, assembled & had backup power the night before the storm. I have yet to read/study the entire product & documentation. But it seems to be 1st class

WGEN5300DFV

I purchased this Generator for piece of mind during an outage, thankfully I've not had cause to ise it yet! Setup was veryeasy and straightforward, after filling the oil and putting in a gallon of gas, I tried pulling the cord...nothing. However the second pull was a charm! So although it's not been used during an aoutahe I have had load on Gennie and she runs smooth. I bring her oit once a month start it and let it run for 5-6 minutes just to make sure she stays alert. For the price this was an awesome buy and because its dual fuel, makes it twice as nice

So Far So Good`

I just bought this a week ago and haven't had an emergency yet. I have performed the 1 hour non load maintenance and started the 5 hour 50% load run. No problems at all. I am looking forward to having it ready to go on propane without worrying about the fuel going bad. The unit did come with a dented generator cover due to shipping, but everything works fine. My only complaint is there is no part number in the manual or on the filter for the air filter. I like to keep this things on hand.

Quieter than expected! easy to operate.

Bought this in Apr, 2020. Quieter than I expected it to be. 1/2 day operation on 1 refuleling is nice. quick flip from propane is nice. Emergency start on propane while I run out to get 5gal gasoline allows ease for emergency power without storing flammable fuel just in cae. As an amateur radio operator involved in emergency communication, this allow for lots of equipment with different electrical lines spread out.

Good all around generator

I purchased this generator for a few reasons. First for home use during blackouts. Second for camping when there is no electric options. I have tested both the gasoline and propane options under loads for both my house (for 5 hrs) and the camper (for 2 hrs) and the generator handles all without issues. for

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.

Sturdy and minimal assembly

I have not yet had the need to use this, but it seems very sturdy, Well assembled was well packed and undamaged. I am excited that the product uses propane as well as gasoline and I intend to try it out first with propane. I am looking forward to getting a cover for this so I can keep it in my garage dust free for emergencies.
