I finally bought this last month, after installing a transfer switch 7 years ago! Power went out last week and everything worked as expected. It started easily and ran smoothly. It's loud, but at least it was outside.
Took me a minute to get it started, but now it works great. I had to slow down and really pay attention to instructions. I think i may have flooded it initially. My only complaint is that I wish it held more gas.
We previously owned 3 generators, a Gentron 10,000, a Honda eu3000i, and Honda eu2000. This Wgen 5300c took the place of three and now we only have to maintain 1 power plant, it rins the entire house, the rv, and takes up very little space!!! Thank you Sooo much!
