So far it’s great!

Would Recommend

Just bought unboxed and ran the WGen5300DFcv generator for the first time. Set up was easy, straightforward and it started on the first pull. I’m excited to use this product in the coming days to run my 7” grinder with ShopVac dust collector.

I bought this yesterday, we’ve been without power since Sunday. It started right up. Has been a godsend. Wish I would’ve went sooner.

Great Generator

Would Recommend

Bought this after DTE took forever to restore my power. Overall it works very well! Only ran it for over 6 hours and used half the tank so it seems that 1 full tank should go for at least 12 hours.

Backup household power supply

Would Recommend

Just purchased this generator for future power outages that occasionally occur in our area. Very impressed with the indepth manual and parts schematics that came with it. May be a while before it's needed to help power houshold items so can't say how well it works, but confident the generator will meet our needs

Starts but shuts down after 10 seconds

Would Recommend

Bought this gen a few years ago. Ran it a few times but never longer than a few minutes to test. Now it starts ok with propane but shuts down after 10-15 seconds. Tried a different tank with same results. Need advice on what to do next.
