I bought this generator during the summer in preparation for a hard winter. I have not yet started it but it has all the features that I will need in case of a power failure. Westinghouse if a quality company with a reputation expanding back to my childhood.

Looks to be a well-built machine, I made this purchase as a investment, I will have it if the power goes out for several days due to a ice storm, or any other emergency here in Montana. Was received after 5 days date of purchase. does not have wheels and weighs 135 lb. I suggest strapping it onto a piece of wood and mount some Wheels under the wood, as a piece of plywood 22 in by 25 in. Then a person is able to move it around and pick it up with a hand truck.

Very happy with the wgen5300 duel fuel generator . I really like the electric start with remote key fob. I can start or stop it from inside the house instead of going out in the cold. It is small in size but I can run a refrigerator, chest freezer, gas furnace, router, tv, and all the lights I want. I ordered the separate wheel and handle kit because it is too heavy to drag around when you need to move it.

wow, everything but wheels. I suffered in the great Oklahoma City outage a few years ago and was without electricity for five horrible days. This generator is not only strong enough to run my heater, fridge and computer but has some nice features to boot; Electric start (and REMOTE START) is nice since I have been there with a generator that wouldn't start no matter how many times you yanked the cord. Dual fuel so you can switch over to propane while you fill the gas tank. Highest peak wattage in the price range and a heck of a run time so you don't just fill your days pouring gas in a generator and enough runtime you could actually let it run over night w/o sputtering out.

We recently had a 5 day power outage and this Generator came through and saved the day. I love the fact that it can be ran on gas as well as propane. The gas last longer that the propane, but they both do a great job. Our determining factor of getting this generator is that it has an electric start and has a remote, so it can be turned on and off with a push of a button.

I bought the WGen5300DFc several weeks ago from Walmart who had the best price. Very happy with the purchase of this generator. I had already ordered and received the wheel kit from Amazon, which was easy to install in about five minutes. Having read several reviews of damage upon delivery, I carefully examined the unit upon arrival - there was no damage, dents or scratches - it appeared to have been handled carefully. The quick start guide is easy to follow. Put in the supplied oil, connected the battery lead, attached my propane tank and it fired up on the first try using the electric start. I like having the optional pull start in case of a dead/low battery. I don't plan on messing with gasoline, but I like having the option if needed. Ran it for 15 min, then shut it down and changed the oil. I was happy to see that the original oil still looked very clean and did not have any metallic bits that I could see. Started it up again using the remote and ran it for 30 minutes with a light load - all worked very well. It is somewhat loud when standing next to it, but not as loud as other generators I have been around. I have very limited space around the house, so the generator sits only about eight feet away from the house, but inside the house, you only hear a low hum. It will be used for power outages at home, and since it has the TT-30R receptacle for RV's, will be using it for camping. Very happy with this generator with all its abilities and back-up features.

Works great after getting it started. The battery was almost dead but I was able to give it a jump start. Difficult to pull start but I have a bad shoulder. Slight drip of gas when the shut off valve is first closed. Otherwise it would be a 5.

Had a very Hard time starting,tried switching to propane and just spun around.Don't know if they run these before selling?But had a easy time with service to replace the part,installed still no go.So disconnected the propane line and installed without the regulator and started.So my question would be why do they have 2 valves on this unit?

The instructions were not complete. We were having difficulty using the electric start on our first time (to see if the darn thing actually worked), I ended up using the pull start. Calling for service today, we find out that the battery needs to be fully charged. We also found out that we could just keep the charger on the unit. Oh, by the way, if a serious number of marketing emails begin flooding my mailbox, your address will be listing in my spam folder. I do not like being abused by anyone's marketing department.

Brand new generator experienced surging on first use and all uses thereafter. Fuel tank vent hose that connected to air filter housing had broken off with the connecting nipple still inside the hose. Fuel gauge nonfunctional after first use lol. Quality control needs to be improved. I understand it isn't a top-tier product but that shouldn't matter. The product should function normally from the factory.
