Easy to use

My first time using a generator. Frankly, I thought it would be troublesome and it’s not. I do have to say, it was a bit heavy to move, But once I installed the wheels it was easy to move around. The instructions are very simple to follow. Once the oils and fuel was added. Only a few pulls if the recoil is what it took to get the generator going. It truly saved the day. I was going on 8 hours without power and the refrigerator wasn’t going to hold much longer. I am very happy I have the generator

Easy to use

This is the first generator I've had. It's super easy to use. Love that it can work off gas or propane. Easy to move with the wheels. During a winter storm, we powered a fridge, two space heaters, lamps, electric blankets, computer charging, etc. When we tried 3 space heaters, it did blow the circuit, but we were running them all on the regular 110 plug. Was able to find the special generator cord online only, but didn't get a change to use it yet.

Nice Features and Easy to Operate!

I haven't had this unit long, but so far, I really like it! Initial setup was a breeze, really straight forward with good instructions and illustrations. It starts easily, runs smooth and is pretty quiet. It's definitely much quieter than the old generator I am replacing. I may have given it 5 stars if I had used it more at this point and tried running it on propane, but I haven't as of yet. The only thing I would like to have seen would be a USB port, but at this price point I really can't complain.

Perfect for what I need

The feet were hard to install due to the M8 nut on the frame not being either machined properly or aligned to the frame holes. That is my only complaint. Other than that, the rest was simple. I certainly recommend having another hand to help out, this thing is heavy.

WGen5300

Love the generator and wattage output. I installed a cut-over switch and have tested it for running the house in a power outage, both freezers, kitchen lights/fridge and 1 AC ran fine with great voltage output (per the Electrician!). I did take 1 star off due to the fact that I had to order & return 2 units before receiving the 3rd one undamaged (the first 2 had FRAME and structural damage and just weren't packed well from the beginning). But the Generator itself works great once started and running!

GREAT DUEL FUEL GENERATOR

I purchased this for emergencies, however I decided to take it for a test ride. We set up a small "glamping" site in our home and used the generator as the sole power source. We had a small 12-volt air conditioner, lights, a fan, and a laptop for watching a movie. The generator lasted all night and we actually had to turn it off in the morning.

Love this genset

I just received this genset a few days ago. The instruction book was very good--it gave simple, straight forward instructions on how to set up the unit. I ran it on both gasoline and propane, and on both, it started on the very first pull!! Relatively quiet for the amount of power it provides.

Portable Generator

I brought this portable generator after a hurricane had hit our area during a lot of damage causing power outage for 8 days. It was a great decision, I set it up on day one and it performed great, provided the necessary power we needed for seven days. Will recommend it friends that are looking for portable generator.

Great generator

Manageable weight for an old guy, 130ish. Minimal set up, two stabilizer feet with 2 screws each a wrench comes with those parts. Wheels easy to attach with an axel bolt, washer, and a cotter key. Oil and funnel supplied. Add gas or LP, a couple of pulls and off we go. Great for the essentials.

Great Generator! Arrived fast!

I purchased the WGen3600DFcv generator last week and it arrived two days ahead of the originally scheduled arrival date. Filled the oil, added gas and it started easily on the second pull. Next, I tested the propane and it started on the second pull as well. Thus far, I have run it for about 1 hour to help seat the rings and break it in. When time allows, I will run it more to continue the break-in process before using it camping. Based on the 1 hour of run time, I'm happy with the purchase. I ordered it without the wheel kit only to realize it is heavier than I anticipated. Therefore, I ordered the wheel kit which I highly recommend. The generator seems to be of good quality for the price.
