Instant electric start, quick as turning a light switch on. Would have given five stars if owners manual was better. Directions was to add oil 'til in operating zone of dip stick.When I got it to the operating zone the full quart was consumed, so dump the full quart in and skip all the repeated checks of dip stick. Could not find capacity in specs. Over all quality of gen. is very good. Especially like the fuel shut off valve between gas tank and carburetor as this allows bowl to be completely emptied out preventing build up of carbon in the jets, a problem I had on my old gen.
The digital meter displays current volts, frequency, life time hours, hours since start and maintenance reminders! This is very useful when you don’t keep track of the hours. Over all good experience.
Just received the 5300 with electric start, the quick setup instructions very easy to follow, includes everything -wheels, tool kit, oil and even a funnel ! Gassed it up - pushed the electric start ...... fired right up, average operating sound for a generator, ran smoothly, no leaks or drips ! Gave it a quick test with two 1875w hair dryers ..... no problem ! The WGen replaces a 3500w manual start , I can get spoiled with this electric start ! And like with anyone who buys a home generator "I hope I never use it" but in this New Normal , it will be getting it's use !
