This generator is perfect for us. Good backup for our little house when we lose power. Relatively low fuel consumption yet meets our needs perfectly. Easy to assemble and started on the first try no problem. I read reviews saying they had problems. Just take five minutes and read the instructions. After adding oil and gas had it running in 30 seconds.

I wanted to select and plug in the generator for wiring already done in the house. This generator has satisfied all the requirements and working as a perfect match to pair with my requirements. Now during winter i am saved of losing the power in the house.

Purchased this generator to replace 2 very small generators. The features are great. Especially being able to change from 120V to 240V. Living in Florida makes us prone to hurricanes. This unit will supply more than enough power to operate all the necessary appliances and lights. It was an awesome price as well.

Received this generator this week and it cranked right up with electric start. I wanted electric start in case my wife had to start it. I have not connected it and used it yet. On reading instructions carefully, I discovered that I needed to remove a jumper wire connecting the neutral to chassis ground. That's because I am connecting to a transfer switch. I hope never to use it but it's there when I need it.

Just received this unit via UPS. Box kinda beat up but to be expected, A few scratches on gen cover but all seemed to be OK. Looks well built and compact, Not as LOUD as the old gen of the same output capacity. I started up as per instructions and after a few min of uneven running it seemed to settle into a groove with a light fan load. I'll leave it to the break in of an hour. Over all It looks and sounds like a great unit. My only complaint is that the oil filer could be in a more accessible place for checking. The supplied oil filler was a welcome device to have AND KEEP. Over all I give it a perfect score for what it is for. P

We originally bought the wgen3600. It was a pull start and had no wheels. It wouldn’t start, gunked carb from possibly a bit of gas left in it after testing. We decided to get a push start with wheels, the wgen5300s. Started right up! I think it will be perfect to have around for emergencies!

the generator is extremely well built and exactly what i needed. it was easy to put on the accessories with excellent and easy to follow instructions. I highly recommend the electric start and am completely satisfied with this generator. excellent quality throughout.

This was purchased due to frequent power loss here in the back country. This genset is perfect for what I need. It has the outlet that enables energizing all circuits and can be used for an RV and power equipment far from my house. Easy electric starting, easy maintenance and quiet operation.

I bought the WGen5300V generator after we had an ice storm. I know, too late but I had been shopping for one for years. I think I'll be ready for the next power outage as this generator works and sounds great. It was easy to set up. I installed the oil and some fresh gas to see it start the first pull. Hooked up some appliances to see them work. Can't say anything about longevity but I feel like I made a good investment. Fed-EX delivered it to my door in a pretty fast time.

When I am able to move it outside, the generator does exactly what I need it to, however, the muffler is pointed directly at the wheel base, which makes the tires and wheels very hot. The wheel base is also not sturdy. The unit I have has the hub spot-welded to the frame. The vibration and heat caused the wheel base to collapse after 1 hour of use and I had to go buy a cart and get a buddy to help me wheel it back to the garage. Its also kind of loud.
