We bought this after the pandemic and earthquake in Utah. Our children have special medical equipment that need electricity to function. Also this has plenty of juice to power the fridge, freezer, and lights.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just got this 5300s. Installed the feet and wheels, oiled the engine, connected the battery, added some gasoline and started it right up. Everything works. Very satisfied with the performance and price.
It looks good with nice features like the electric start and no need for a battery charger since this unit charges as it runs just like your vehicle but even if you have to use the recoil pull option its really easy to pull n starts on about the 2nd pull so its easy enough for just about anyone to start it,not real loud either so if you have a shed or something to store n run it in you won't be bothered by noise,the digital read out is really nice feature to.
Decent design and starts easily. Sadly, mine tends to run a little rough and noisy when loads come on and off even with only half load. Does not seem normal. It arrived in an almost totally demolished box with only 1 nylon strap and bottom was completely broken open. Delivery folks recorded the damage in there system for me. I hope it gets better after a short break-in period and more oil changes.
Bought this during the winter and just assembled and started. Easy assembly. Everything is included to get the generator assembled and running. Product quality is fantastic and the features are outstanding. Electric start is wonderful. Meter and fuel gauge are easy to read.
I installed a transfer switch and purchased a 100' 30 Amp cord to run frig, gas stove freezer, furnace, Internet, and one room with computers etc.
Overall much better quality, fit and finish than my previous generator. Highly recommend the WGen line of generators!
