WGen5300sc Nice Generator

Haven't had an opportunity or need to really use this yet but first impression is excellent. Well designed, has every type of outlet I can imagine ever needing anywhere, has 240 volt capability and L14 outlet for use with home transfer switch, and electric start..I Love the electric start.

Happy, but untested

I've had the unit six weeks. It assembled as expected. It started right up, first time and every time since. I ran it for the prescribed break-in period, then again 3-4 weeks later. We had not had a power outage in that time. That will be the true test. I'm glad I spent the extra money getting a electric start model, as I was not successful in starting it with the pull rope. (I imagine a younger person could pull that rope faster, and therefore get it going that way.) I am quite happy with my investment in keeping the basement dry!

Don't know if I need the Hi altitude pac.

Got it today, did the recommended break in. engine sputters from time to time,(governor thing I think), may need to be rejetted,waiting for support. After break in, seems to carry a load @ 120 volts ok. Need to get a plug to test 240 side.Instructions could be a little clearer in that you need to cut the zip tie on the battery connection and connect it.other than that it starts, it runs, it makes power, I'm happy!

Generator

This is a nice generator. Wheel kit was easy to assemble. Added oil that was provided, made battery connection and added gas in and it started right up. Tested it out on drills, saws, compressors, etc. and works great, but I haven't used it on my house yet, and hope I never have to. So far, this is an excellent generator and a good price.

A little Rough out the box but appears to work

Got this and noticed that the box was damaged. Opened it up, and the two silica packs had burst open and there were silica balls embedded throughout the cardboard box. There were dings in the frame, and the cover of the alternator was dinged. Also the battery box was bent so the battery doesn't sit flush. It's a generator, not a beauty pageant contestant, so as long as it works no big issue. Getting the wheels and feet on was pretty easy. I try to pull the spark plug out with the wrench attached, so that could begin the break in process and the plug is not moving! Eventually the plug ends up getting stuck into the wrench, because The plug is in so tight, and the wrench is so cheap that it actually embeds itself into the sides of the wrench as the wrench twisted around it. I have to get the standard wrench that you see in hardware stores, and its not moving it as well. In fact the handle on that wrench actually bends, from trying to turn it. Eventually I get the plug out (probably after the oil penetrant I sprayed soaked through) and the plug is wedged into the wrench, So I have to beat that out from the wrench and chip a bit of the non sparking end in the process. But now that the plug is out, i can begin the break in process. Once I finally get everything oiled up & fueled up. It starts very easily. Both on the electric start and the pull start. And seemed to run with no problems, and at a decent noise level, even with a load on it. So while I spent way too much time, fighting with a spark plug, and on principle, I'd like to have it show up to my house ding free, at the end of the day it seems to do its job. Also it is a fairly manageable weight for the power that it can put out.

You don't need a full Pull to Start!

Being female and short, I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to start the generator, like most pull items where I am just not tall enough to get enough pull. This generator doesn't need a full pull and it starts right away! The instructions are very easy to follow and it looks like it's a well-made product. We purchased this generator to run a backup sump pump and refrigerator in case of a power outage. We haven't had to use it in that capacity yet, but it held a load well during the initial tests and we feel confident it will perform well in an emergency.

Solid Machine

It just arrived 2 days ago. Put in the oil today and hooked it up to propane and it started right up. Love the fact that it takes 3 different types of fuel so we have different options should one fuel become unavailable or might be in shortage depending on what’s going on and why we need it at the time. Much quieter than the one I had previously used during hurricane Wilma.

"Just in Case"

I have not needed to use this generator yet.I purchased this for the "just in case" when the power goes out. I bought this one because it looked like it had a lot good features and the cost was good. I wanted to get one with electric start but because of the additional weight bought the lighter model which was still very heavy to move while transporting in the box.
