Easy To Set Up

This is my first time buying a generator but the setup was about an hour or less so I'm sure if you're familiar it can take even less than that! Started up very easily and I'm very satisfied with how it worked initially. Waiting to see how it performs for a long period of time

Seems to be an Excellent Small Generator

I bought this smaller generator just to run a space heater and my refrigerator. When my son-in-law set it up he found it wouldn't start even through the battery showed it was fully charged. He quickly found the problem - a wire from the engine to the battery had become disconnected during shipment. Connecting the wire resulted in an easy start once the engine had primed itself. It ran very well though certainly not quietly during our test. I'm just so glad to know pet finches and I can stay warm during any power outages this winter.

Just what I needed and wanted

This generator increases capabilities by dual fuel feature, remote start, floating ground, and finally, power and endurance times. I plan to install this unit in my new 5th wheel and modify the exhaust output with flex adapters and piping conforming to RVDA/RVIA standards.

EZ SETUP && STARTED RIGHT UP

EZ SETUP -- The 10mm wrench you need to attach the base pads is included in the toolkit it comes with. The toolkit includes a sparkplug wrench and a 13 / 10 mm combo wrench. The wheels attach with spring pins without any hassle. The battery quick disconnect plug needs to be connected. I used the included battery charger to top off the charge while I filled up the oil with the included bottle and read the rest of the manual. The remote start fob was looped onto the pull cord (took me a minute to find it ...) Attached my propane tank with the included hose/regulator, pushed the START button and it brought the thunder and lightnings. You lose a few Watts using the LP gas, but I wasn't planning on maxing this unit out anyways. The remote start will be quite useful for turning on and off only when I need the juice.

Compact and Ready to Go

I bought this a week ago and have had it up and running. Power out is instantaneous. My reason for this one is so I can be in a campsite with others and put it on propane and have a quieter running engine. We also are very happy to have it to add to our 72 hour plus survival kit. It won't run our whole home but will provide us with immediate essentials.

Great Start Up

Start up was easy and ran smooth from the first start. The handle and back wheels make the generator easy to move. We have only used it once but all went well. Ran for 5 hours without any hesitation or stopping. Could hardly hear it inside the house.

Perfect Size for Me

I looked at many generators before choosing this one and it did not disappoint. It was very easy to assemble and I tested it on both fuel types with no issues. When it was running, I was surprised how quiet it was. I was a little concerned about it being pull start but it is easier to start than my lawn mower. I would recommend this generator to anyone looking for something in case of a temporary loss of power.

WGen3600DFcv review. great except for no wheel kit

I bought the WGen3600DFcv on 4/6/2024. The second day after delivery I checked; spark plug gap (no adjustment needed), air filter, oil drain plug and maintenance access in general. Open frame generators allow nice access for maintenance. After filling with oil and connecting a propane tank with the included supply line I had minor issues starting. The trick seemed to be to choke for a brief period when trying to start. I've only run the generator a couple of times and only with a heat gun for a load but it seems to work great. A bit loud but to be expected from an engine with less than 6 inches of exhaust. Once my tests were done and I knew this would work for me I tried unsuccessfully to order the wheel kit. Per multiple posts the wheel kit seems to have been out of stock for 2 years but also per posts the WGen5300 Accessory Wgen5300Dfc Wheel Kit will fit save the handle is 2 inches too wide. I've ordered that kit to see if I can get wheels on the 3600 and plan to cut the handle to the correct size. Aside from the wheel kit I'm very happy with this generator. I knocked off a star for the unavailability of the wheel kit.

Excellent features on WGen3600DF

Excellent price for this dual fuel (Gasoline/Propane) generator. I like the fact that can start generator with a push button electric start. In addition, it came with a remote start device. Here in Florida when we have hurricanes gasoline stations cannot provide gasoline since pumps work with electricity. Propane is always available.This generator is well made and very sturdy. Received the generator in 6 days. I am including a picture of the generator which is on my property. Upon receipt of the generator, the only thing I had to install were two wheels and two floor stands.The process took me about 10 minutes. Then installed the oil which came with the generator, the gasoline and connected the battery connectors which took about 15 minutes. The generator went on very easily. The noise level is a little high but not bad.

First generator and I'm impressed

I was going on a camping trip and needed a generator. My friend recommended a couple of brands for me about the same watts as this one. But looking at the ones my friend recommended, this westinghouse was a couple hundred cheaper and had the dual fuel option. Also has the 30 Amp connection for an RV, super quiet and neat design.
