Works well for my needs. Only glitch like others have said had a damaged alternator cover, had to pry off to take off floating wire. Also had damage to cage around the motor. Also have to run with one notch on choke all the time. Other than that so far so go.
Purchased this generator for back up during hurricane season. Impressed with the build of it, started up first try! Looking forward to hurricane season now!!
Excellent quality, good instruction manual, Assembly tools included. Well designed for easy operation. Performs as promised. Great product and I recommend it.
Purchased the WGen5300V portable generator for household electrical power backup as I live on the Gulf Coast which is subject to periodic hurricanes. The unit started on the first pull and noise level was very acceptable. The 5300-6600 Watts of power will supply a significant portion of my household needs in the event of an outage.
Followed directions as usual, just added a little gas to make sure it would start, tried electric first, nothing, tried it again nothing, silence, then I pulled the starter route and it started to crumble then upon further pulling it just came all the way out no retraction or pull back at all.

This is a well constructed generator. I was not really sure about it at first but once I took it out of the box I was well pleased. I like the option of using gas or propane it allows me to have more fuel and I don't have to keep a bunch of gasoline cans. Also it has a digital gauge to monitor voltage and hertz, and three option plugs(L14 -30R, TT-30R, 5-20R). Finally the ability to move it with the fold down handle and wheels make it easy for anyone to handle it.
