Easy power

from Corydon In.
I bought the WGEN 5300s online, I am glad I did.It fired up and worked perfectly right out of the box.
It was easy to hook up to my home panel using a separately bought transfer switch, it plugs right into the L14-30 receptacle you just have to remove the neutral bonding jumper under the alternator cover to change it from bonded to floating neutral. The user manual explains this modification.
Now when the power goes out we can run our furnice, water heater, freezer and entertainment center.

Easy to setup!

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.

Awesome Value

Easy to set up, and operate. Unit came with oil, funnel, and all parts to get you up, and running in 15 minutes or less. Shipping was fast, and easy. For the price you get an excellent reasonably quite generator. Ours serves as our back up power for our home. Powers our furnace, well pump, freezers, and fridge with power left over for a couple TV's internet, and wifi.
