just bought this before holidays,perfect size for basement storage and arrived without a scratch on it! very compact and has alot of features i didnt see on higher end models.Only used it a few times but i have no regrets even with the 3 year warranty

Plan to use the 240 amp plug. Didn’t work as I had expected when I purchased. The 120/240 switch chooses whether u want the 240 plug or the other plugs to get power. It does NOT *change* the wattage going to get locking plug. Now that i know this I’m good. I wish the screw to drain the fuel from the carburetor stuck out more so it was easier to get a hose or funnel under it before the fuel starts pouring out.

Easy set up, very quite. A little heavy but that is okay for a good product. Instructions are easy to understand, although some of the instructions assume that you know something about the workings of an internal combustion engine, because they tell you how to break it down to maintenance the engine. That's a little scary.

A long overdue purchase for hurricane season. I had it shipped to my home, and it arrived damage free. I chose my WGen5300V for its Wattage, and Warranty. The price was sweet, and I love the color also lol. Set up was no problem. Putting on the wheels and rubber feet was simple. I LOVE the threaded oil funnel! The supplied spark plug tool and wrench in a pouch are a nice touch. It has the look and feel of a sturdy, quality piece of equipment. It started right up, and ran flawlessly on it's unloaded first break-in hour. It is not whisper quiet, but is not any louder than any other small generator. It sounds nice too me. I love the overhead valve engine. The second part of the break-in was also uneventful. I used my 1200w smoker to vary the load, and keep under 50% as recommended. I hope I never have to use it out of necessity, but I know it will easily handle my fridge, chest freezer, tv and fans. Also, coffee pot, and micro as needed. It gives me peace of mind knowing that up to a week or two without grid power, will be less miserable now with my WGen5300v. John

I purchased the generator just days before a very hard and extended freeze in our area. On the very day that I did the preoperation service on the unit our electricity went out. I was ready! I followed the instructions and pulled the rope. It started immediately. We plugged a light and a heater into it and never felt the effects of the outage. I am quite satisfied!

I bought this a month ago and haven't had to use it yet. I have started it by the battery start and also the pull start, both worked well. I'm in the process of adding a transfer switch to my load center. This generator is transfer switch ready, so it should work fine.

So far I've only used it with propane to insure it's functioning and started right up on the third pull plugged a heat gun and worked great this generator seems to be functioning as it should. Unfortunately it came in all banged up from Sams club while the box was trashed I believe it was who ever emptied the oil to prepare it for shipping the frame is Bent, Dented, peeling, covered in oil and it looks like it was dragged around the warehouse very disappointed with the way I received this generator I'm just glad it functions like it's supposed to.

It's a very good generator. Smaller and quieter than I expected. It arrived quickly. It had simple instructions to follow. It started right up without any trouble. I tested it with a power saw and it works great. It's fairly priced and I think it's a good buy.

I bought this just over a week ago, had an issue with the oil dipstick that I can't seem to get resolved. I have talked to a person (after a long wait on hold) and sent e-mails, still have no resolution to this minor issue. This part must be the least expensive on the whole unit, yet I can't seem to get satisfaction!

Just put this together. Minimal easy assembly. Simple instructions. Push of a button and I’m good to go. This unit came highly recommended by an electrician friend of mine. I bought this for peace of mind and now I hope I never have to use it. But if I do I’m confident it will do the job.
