Received our new generator a couple of days ago. Did a lot of research before buying and decided on this make and model based on price and awesome reviews. So far am more than happy with it. Now if our power goes out like it did for 9 days last year we will still be "warm and snug".

ONE SUGGESTION; MOVE THE CROSS MEMBER 1" TOWARD THE END OR MORE SO OIL DOES NOT RUN DIRECTLY ONTO THE FRAME WHEN OIL IS CHANGED. IT IS INTENDED TO BE USED FOR POWER OUTAGES TO RUN LIGHTS, HEAT, AND WATER PUMP. MAY BE USED OCCASIONALLY FOR CAMPING. ATTRACTIVE GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL IS NICELY LAID OUT. HANDLE FOR MOVING IT AROUND IS A LITTLE OVER KNEE HIGH. GOOD LITTLE LIGHT WEIGHT MACHINE. I'LL RECOMMEND IT TO PEOPLE.

Bought a month ago, just now getting it out of its packaging, and noticed damage on the pull start cover.. it was actually pushed in preventing starting.. prying it out with a screwdriver, gonna contact manufacturer to request a replacement part..in the meantime working great.. love the electric remote start..

I've been looking for several months for the right generator to use while traveling in my travel trailer. I haven't been able to use this generator yet but it seems to be a very good one. I especially like that it has a remote start since I have problems with my shoulder and can't have a pull start. I can't wait to use it.

I bought this generator to supply power at home for the occasional outage. Large refrigerator freezer, small refrigerator, microwave, internet for phone, and lights. As someone that has worked with machinery and engines most of my adult life, I appreciated the quality, sturdy construction, and fit and finish of this product. I have read the instructions (well written), added the oil and gasoline and proceeded to begin the break-in period. Easy start and runs strong. I have confidence this will meet my future needs

After several weeks of research I decided on the WGen5300c. It has all the features I was looking for at a price I could afford. It has enough power to run everything I need, it.is light enough to move around fairly easily and it is surprisingly quite for an open frame generator. I unboxed it, set it up per the directions and it started right up. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.

I had to pull-start the generator. I let it run for a while, and then it started with the electric start. I let it stand for a day and went to start it, but the battery would not start the engine. I was very disappointed. It is a bit quieter than the one I replaced and it doesn't seem to overload.

This generator is a deluxe model compared to my previous generator. With the electric start to begin with! And all of the appliances that it will handle with no problem! Thank Goodness it comes with wheels that you attach to it. It's not a light weight. It can quickly become the heart beat of operating your home. I'm more than satisfied with this upgrade! I feel confident about firing up this 5300s the next time we loose power at my house.

This generator was the best Watt/Cost ratio. It has an easy pull start, you don't need a battery or worry about it being charged. I chose the gas only version over propane because unless you have a stationary tank, you still need to stop any generator in order to switch fuel type, you would need to take care of the additional propane tank, and running on propane reduces the maximum wattage. Other features included that other generators at this price don't have: roll cage, wheels, digital gauge with voltage, frequency, hours, and use timer. With a 5300 running watts limit, it runs with no problem my big fridge, a crockpot, 50" LCD TV, DVD player, 2 tablets, 2 cell phones, and a fan. Planning to add a window AC unit and when winter comes, a space heater. Also planning to add an interlock switch to run the lights and the furnace.

I purchased this in preparation for an ice storm because of all the great features, the good ratings, the power and the relative ease of moving it (as opposed to getting a true standby generator). It was a breeze to set up. Just working through the break-in period at the moment.
