This generator has everything you need to operate Items to your needs and to maintain the unit to keep it running for many years. I received the unit via UPS and after assembling the unit with a few items such as the wheel, mounting feet, oil and gas I connected the battery and the unit started right up and ran smoothly. I found the unit to run much quieter then I expected. Remember folks to run the unit for 1 hour with no load (nothing plugged into it) this is an important step in the break in of the generators gas motor. I'm very happy with my purchace.

Bought for horse trailer with living quarters and didn't want a monster but wa wanted one that would run everything but yet still fit under the bed cover. WGen5300c was our choice over the Honda. Hope the remote comes in handy as this also help to steer us to this one.

Did extensive research. No other deal can match this. Very pleased with the first peek after box opening - fine workmanship on a beautiful piece. Installed easily without reading instructions. Already installed the inlet, circuit breaker and interlocker before the purchase. Can't wait for the first power outage now. lol

JUST RECEIVED MY GENERATOR. I'M IMPRESSED WITH THE FEATURES. MY 19 YEAR OLD ONE JUST CRAPPED OUT. I LIKE THE GAUGES AND THE WHEELS AND BUILT IN HANDEL. OUT OF THE BOX IT STARTED WITH ONE PULL. RAN FOR AN HOUR TO BREAK IT IN. NOT TOO LOUD EITHER. SEEMS LIKE A WELL MADE PRODUCT.

I ordered the generator and it came about a week earlier than I expected. Thankful it did as we actually lost power 2 days after it was delivered. Put in the oil, gas and connected the battery and started right up. Ran for about 6 hours until power came back on. Powered our well pump, refrigerator, microwave, heat and several lights. Very satisfied.

Bought the 4000.. first time out froze up as we are camping.. Bought the 4375 ..had issues. Tiny sound. Bought the 6875. Too heavy..gas hog and way loud at 25 ft. Thru a breaker not at the generator but in the camper panel box. They went back! Purchased the Westinghouse. Amazed..quiet...energy efficient..weight easy to lift. Handles the camper very well.

I bought this item because of multiple outages at home and for future use as a power supply for my RV. Does exactly what I wanted it to do. It is quieter than most generators, which is great for my neighbors. It also comes in handy for jobsites without power. Has a good run time.

Ordered primarily for home backup during power outages. The WGen5300v provides 240V or 120V and provides enough power for critical loads to get us through until the mains are restored. Generator was delivered as scheduled without damage. Easy to unbox and assemble. Included instructions were clear and thorough. Generator is heavy but not bad to move with the wheels. Loud but tolerable compared to other open frame generators.

After doing much research, I chose this model. What sold me was one review from someone who had worked on generators for five years. He also recommended getting a Heavy Duty L5-30P to (3) 5-20R Power Cord to help distribute the current to different parts of your home to even out the current and to avoid overheating one electric line, which can be a potential fire hazard. It was expensive but a very good investment and peace of mind. Use the "WGen Generator Quick Start Guide" to assemble the generator. It gives detailed step-by-step instructions, whereas the owners manual is very vague. Follow through with the instructions to run the engine with no load for one hour as recommended to prime the engine. Be sure to add a gasoline stabilizer for long-term storage. Cons: The only downside is that it is a little hard to fill the oil, even with the funnel that is provided. The fill plug is located almost out of view near the bottom of the engine. Not a big issue. Pros: Since there are no men in our household, I wanted a generator with a pull start and electric start. The engine started immediately with no hesitation. It has a good, strong sound, ready to handle any load. The handle bar makes it easy to haul the 200-lb generator outside. I've had the generator for a few months and am still waiting for the next power outage. But, I know I can rely on this it for many decades.

A few thoughts upon receiving/opening the generator box: I feel like the oil fill cap should be metal, not plastic. It is at an odd angle and is too soft of a material -- the metal threads can destroy the plastic quickly. Also, it is a fairly lengthy break-in process, and I am guessing most people need the generator ASAP when they buy it. Otherwise, it seems to be a good purchase.
