Started on the first try!

Got the 5300s generator. The s is for electric start. Started on the first try. A break in period of one hour is suggested. It runs smooth and not as loud as our previous Generac 5000. One small complaint would be the short funner for adding in oil. I think they should add a couple fo inches to it.

WGen5300s

Seems OK after starting and running for the break in period. 3stars because it did come with a large dent in the windings cover. They had to have packed it that way from the factory as the box wasn't even creased. It also appeared they painted it with the dent because it had no scratch, scrape, paint chip, nothing. Not great quality control.

First time Generator owner.

A long overdue purchase for hurricane season. I had it shipped to my home, and it arrived damage free.
I chose my WGen5300V for its Wattage, and Warranty. The price was sweet, and I love the color also lol.
Set up was no problem. Putting on the wheels and rubber feet was simple. I LOVE the threaded oil funnel! The supplied spark plug tool and wrench in a pouch are a nice touch.
It has the look and feel of a sturdy, quality piece of equipment. It started right up, and ran flawlessly on it's unloaded first break-in hour. It is not whisper quiet, but is not any louder than any other small generator. It sounds nice too me. I love the overhead valve engine.
The second part of the break-in was also uneventful. I used my 1200w smoker to vary the load, and keep under 50% as recommended.
I hope I never have to use it out of necessity, but I know it will easily handle my fridge, chest freezer, tv and fans. Also, coffee pot, and micro as needed.
It gives me peace of mind knowing that up to a week or two without grid power, will be less miserable now with my WGen5300v.

this generator just arrived, put the front rests and wheels on in just five minutes, filled with the oil that came with, put gas in and started the very first pull. it says to run without load for 1 hour to break in engine, doing that now. no damage upon arrival. from box to running in about 15 or 20 minutes. will try putting a load on it shortly, but if it starts easy, the battle is won!
