WGen5300SC perfect

I purchased this generator to run my house when we have frequent power outages due to storm damage in Southern Maine. This is simple to use and very user friendly!! I was impressed with fuel efficiency and how quiet it is compared to other generators I have run. The electric start is convenient and again very simple to use!!

Easy to unpack and assemble for "average" female

I was very nervous about purchasing a heavy portable generator, since I had no one who would be able to help me assemble it. It proved to be surprisingly easy! I just slit the sides of the box, removed the packing materials and wheel assembly, and then easily tipped the generator on its side to install the wheel assembly and feet. Unless you're quite frail, you'll be able to manage this, ladies! I haven't yet purchased my gas tank to fuel it and give it a trial run, but it looks like it'll be a simple matter to do so!

My first generator-A GREAT CHOICE

Easy assembly and needed tools supplied. Followed directions supplied and it started right up . I let it run and after about five minutes during which I verified all outlets and everything worked as expected. Needless to say I am very pleased with this product.

Quality time with instruction book required!

Unpacked it with our electrician who was in no mood to look at instructions; had to undo and redo several things! Got oil and gas into it, figured out the choke, got it to run after a few attempts, let it warm up a bit and plugged a power tool into it, which worked as it was supposed to. Turned it off and set about moving it to a secure location; it definitely needs to be pulled, and never pushed - as I was trying to maneuver it down a slight hill, the handle folded up underneath it unexpectedly, trapping my index finger as the unit settled on the ground on the side which was away from me. I think it's a serious design flaw that the handle does not lock in the extended position - serious enough that it cost you a star on the rating! (If I have to have it x-rayed tomorrow, that'll be another star, and if it's broken, you'll be lucky to get one star out of me!)

Easy to use, and quiet!

This was purchased as a back up power source for our off grid home in Mexico.it not only looks great, its also èasy to start which is very important for my mom and I. We are both senior citizens so simple instructions are very important to us' both.it has plenty of power to run our entire household if necessary.

Best Generator for the Price

Purchased this generator from reading other positive reviews as a backup for when my power goes out. Easy to set up and started right away. I have to say that the information packet that came with it is superior. Not only does it give you a detailed user manual but also a replacement parts list brochure as well as a warranty booklet.

Easy set up and starting

I purchased this generator to replace a 20-year-old generator that finally gave up the ghost during the days after Hurricane Helene. I was looking for something that was easier to set up and start as I'm also 20 years older. This unit is more compact, quiet, and simple to start with its electric starter, so easier on my muscles and joints.

Great little powerhouse

I bought this generator to use with our camper. It was easy to set up and is lighter and much quitter than our other generator. The electric start is quick and powerful. The generator fires right up without any hesitation. It puts out the same power as the generator I use at home during power outages so I know it will power everything I need it to when the power goes out.

Quiet running

Had a little trouble with setup. The supplied oil container holds .74 of a quart of oil. I didn't realize that all of it had to be put into the crankcase. Hard to read dipstick--thought I had it full but generator was smart enough to not start until I put the entire bottle into the crankcase.

Love the electric start

I bought this about a month ago to be my primary power source dur power outages. My previous generator is a pull start and stand out in the cold pulling and pulling and pulling has just gotten old. Completing the generator build was quite simple and kudos for the funnel that screws into the oil fill, however, if it were a couple of inches longer over pours could be eliminated. Thee reason for the lose of one star is because the quick connect wiring is backward from what is needed for a battery tender connect, necessitating the need to install a seperate quick connect for that purpose. I turned off all the power to my house and then connected the generator, running the house on generator power for about 45 minutes with no issues. The true test will be when I'm hooking it up in an ice sstorm.
