Great Product

I have been reviewing generators for awhile and after reading reviews, price and features, I purchased this generator. I purchased this product seven days ago and finally was able to unbox today. I had no damage to the product when unpackaged. All I had to do was put on the wheels, two front rubber supports that it sits on and add oil. I attached it to propane, choked it and after three pulls it started right up. I checked the electricity output and the output was there. I hope I don't ever need it for backup power but I will sure have it if needed. The generator was actually quieter than I had thought it might be when running. Even my wife said that it was quieter than she had anticipated.

JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR

I was looking for a dual function generator for travel trailer that could be used at home as back up power for refrigerator and freezer in event of power outage. This generator is simple start with easy to follow directions, quick hook up for LP and gas. Runs quiet enough to not hear in front bedroom of travel trailer when mounted on rear of unit. Has never flat wheels which is big improvement from older models of past. Easy enough to move around however does take 2 people to lift onto rear rack of travel trailer.

EASY solution to keep power running

After the last power outage of 8 hours in 10 degree weather, this generator was top on my list for preparedness. Reasonable price, needed wattage for my house, 20/30 amp, 120/240 - perfect for my home needs. Setup was a breeze, no instructions needed to install wheels and dampers. Adsed the included oil, waited to add fuel until I slowly cycled the pull starter 10 times to get oil to internals. Added a gallon of fuel, turned on the run switch and choke, started on the FIRST PULL. Turned choke off after about 45-50 seconds, engine smoothed out and the voltage hit 120 and leveled in maybe 5 seconds. Flipped to 240, hit voltage in 5 seconds. Let it run another minute, switched back to 120, leveled off in 5 seconds. LOVE the threaded oil funnel and the included 4 stroke oil was exactly the correct amount. As I stated, this generator could not have been easier to set up and get running. WELL worth the price and I don't have to worry about power outages any more.

Great Dual Fuel Generator

Needed to replace old gas only generator; so glad I chose this value priced option after researching for days. Easy set up (quick start guide was perfect) and after adding oil (thank God for the enclosed funnel) and seamlessly connecting the propane tank this started up the first time on just 3 pulls. What a peace of mind for the next inevitable power loss in our area. Considering this generator? Don’t hesitate - get it now. You won’t be sorry.

Great features at a reasonable price.

I bought this generator as an upgrade from my previous one. The dual fuel is a great option. Last time power was out gas pumps didn't work, but with the turn of one switch, we were running on propane. The unit is very quite for the size and starts very easy. I was so impressed with it, I purchased a second one for my Mothers house.

Came As Expected

I was very pleased to receive the generator. It was packed well and 99% assembled. It's feels very sturdy and is very heavy. All good things. With the wheels and large handle, it's easy to move around. We have not ran it yet to test it but I assume it will be fine as it appears very well bit. I'll provide an additional update when I've had some time with it.

Easy to set up, got running quick

Bought this generator a few weeks ago. Happy with it so far. Only ran about 15 minutes so far on propane and it seems to be running well. The manual for starting was a bit confusing with what it says to do with the choke on a cold start but I figured it out.

Model WGen5300DFv Generator

I have looked a a large number of generator brands with many different configurations. The two most important features were duel fuel and a AC/CA 120/240V 30A outlet. This generator has both of those features along with many others. The price was well in the range of our budget. It was clear that this generator was the perfect fit to provide emergency power to our small rural are condo. We will eventually have the wiring installed so we will be able to provide power anywhere in the condo as needed. I'm ready to give a shake down.

good machine

Power went out the first month I owned the generator. I ran the unit on propane for 2.5 hrs. The unit was attached to the house through a transfer switch. The load included a 240v well pump, 2 gas boilers (hot water, hydronic heat w/circulation pumps), 2 refrigerators, lighting circuit and receptacle circuit. The generator worked well.

Duel Fuel Generator

I bought this generator in July in preperation for hurricane season. Thankfully we have not had to use it for that yet. But we are prepared in case it is needed. I like that we have the option to use gasoline or a propane bottle because sometimes those gas lines are super long after a storm.
