Shipped in a compact carton. Installed the wheels and feet. Didn't expect to have electric start with the battery and remote, but this was nice. Oil included WITH spout to fill. I'm waiting to get a couple more propane tanks (new) as extra beyond grilling tanks. When I do, I'll break the generator in with propane. Gas in my state is 10% ethanol which doesn't store well. This generators quality looks much better than ones I've previously used, but I won't really have a good test until there is a power outage. Will repost an update if needed at that time.

This generator was easy to set up other than I wish it had come with the wheels included. I do like that it came with a battery maintainer so starting shouldn't be an issue when we need it. It fired up no problem and will run everything I need it to. Now we are ready for the winter season.

The electric start was the best thing that came along. Right out of the box read up on the generator, installed the wheels and handle added the oil and was ready to go. Found a couple loose nuts on the mounts tightened them up and was good to go. Connected the propane tank tightened everything up hit the remote button and the generator started on the 2nd attempt. After warming up for a couple minutes plugged in some lights and everything worked. The real test will be when we lose power again .

After hours of research over a couple weeks, I chose this generator for our house - wanted something that would keep a refrigerator and several smaller electronics running. I plan to use propane but appreciate the dual fuel. It came with a wheel kit - simple to install. Everything is well-labelled and straightforward. Good purchase.

This generator has fantastic features and the longest run time I believe in it's class. Setup is easy and intuitive. Best buy for the money. My only complaint would be the oil plug. It's plastic and in a hard to reach spot so I found it difficult to screw back in.

I was looking for a home backup generator and the wgen5300dfc had the options i was looking for,floating neutral, dual fuel, remote start and electric start. i ordered the wheel kit separately and now i am able to plug directly into my house transfer switch. i ran it to put break in hours on it and am now ready if i get more power outages .

After Hurricane Helene we decided to buy this generator and I’m very satisfied with a purchase other than the fact that the wheels do not come with the generator. There are also are no instructions on how to buy them. Wheels shouldn’t be that expensive that they should be added into the price of this product.

Good Generator. Have the gasoline only 5300 and it rocks along - just change the oil as required. This one will provide more redundancy by running on LP also. Westinghouse - whoever delivers to HD damages your generators. I had to remove the manual start shroud as the cover was bent into the fan blades and shaved off a good 1cm.

We purchased this generator with the hopes of buying more of them for our tower sites. Unfortunately this one came with a defective gasket on the float bowl. Additionally, we called the 1800 number and we were told to be patient and someone would call us back. After being on hold for more than 30 minutes, we decided to go online and complete the process because we mailed the registration card.

I bought this early in January as a backup for the house since I finally got around to having a friend electrician set up my outside plug and inside transfer switch. Generator runs great but is a little hard starting even with the battery but I attribute that to the frigid temperatures and because it's new. However last test it started right up after I charged the battery for an extended period. The pull start is still a bit of a hassle. It's much quieter than I expected which is great. Only complaint is that there was a small dent in the frame and a few scrapes. I fixed the scrapes with an ink pen and the dent is not worth worrying about.
