Bought it just in time before Hurricane Beryl arrived! Served us very well during the multi-day power outage. Starting it up was very easy. We were able to power up a deep/chest freezer, side-by-side refrigerator, two fans, workstation (laptop, modem/router, two monitors), portable electric cooktop, rice cooker, and device chargers (phones and tablets) all at the same time! And when we disconnected the cooktop and rice cooker, we were even able to use our washing machine! A full tank of gas lasted over 15 hours for us. Only thing that can be improved is the shipping. Should have more protection against damages. This generator is heavy, so people handling it during delivery might not be as careful. Mine came with some dents on the protective metal framing of the generator. Nevertheless, this generator worked great and as advertised!

Due to all of our storms in the area recently, I thought it would be good to upgrade my generator. Thank goodness I haven't had to use this yet, however it appears to be very user friendly, especially with the process to start the generator on the unit itself.

I just purchased this generator due to recent power failure from a storm I had borrowed a smaller generator to save our food in the refrigerator and this one is quieter than the smaller one. No problems at this time starts and runs fine. I love the electric start.

We have been wanting a generator for quite some time now- we live in an old house and old neighborhood and have lost power several times in the 7 years we have been here. This was affordable with all the features that we need when our power goes out!

Just assembled, added oil (challenging to fill), and gas. Appreciate screen filter on gas tank and secure fuel cap. Pressed electric start, fired up instantly, and ran flawlessly for 15 minutes. Didn’t put a load on it yet, but don’t expect a problem.

I made this purchase for piece of mind when the power goes out , to provide warmth & comfort and hopefully avoid frozen pipes ! I have been reassured that the size I bought will power the whole house - Luckily enough , I haven't had to rely on "generator" power yet.

I purchased the WGen5300v after looking over the reviews and was impressed on how they were written. I put the wheels and the rubber feet on the unit filled with oil and it’s ready to go.I will run it through a few short test runs to break it in and have it ready for the dreaded loss of power here in the North East. Overall the Unit was delivered by UPS with out any issues the UPS delivery man placed it on aha d truck and put it in the garage without any damage. I am very pleased.

I just purchased this generator because the 2 I currently have just stopped working. I needed a unit to power an AC unit, fan, microwave and led lighting for our MX trailer when at the track. The unit was much smaller than I thought it would be when delivered and I though oh man did I buy the wrong size. Well I did not. This little generator is crazy powerful and operates everything I need and it's not even at full load. It's still new so only time will tell how durable it is but right now I'm impressed.

The unboxing and setup was fairly easy, and completed within 30 minutes. It's heavy, so plan on a second set of hands or cutting the box. It looks good and is "normal" noise level for a generator. I feel they are always too loud. Time will tell if it holds up, but i'm happy so far.

We bought this generator to replace an eleven-year-old Honda model that finally died. We live in a remote, heavily wooded area, and often lose power. My husband, 81 and I, 75, both a bit wobbly, managed to easily unpack and set this up on our own in about 30 minutes. The instructions are well written, extremely clear, and logical. The unit itself is logical, everything marked and instructions easy to understand. New features we are thrilled about: electric starter means I can start this by myself; the fuel gage makes it easier to determine fuel levels in the dark, and the CO2 shut off is a great safety feature. This generator runs our well pump, oil furnace, refrigerator, household lights, microwave, toaster oven, internet & WIFI, TVs etc. without a problem. Plus, it seems quieter and appears to run cleaner. After getting it all set up, we ran it for about 30 minutes without issue. We're quite happy with our purchase. Just read the instructions and follow each step as outlined and you won't have a problem.
