I bought this to use for my boatlift where I cannot otherwise get electric. The remote start feature is awesome, as well as the ability to use either gasoline or propane to run the unit. I do understand that with propane I don't get as much power output, but I believe the generator still has enough power to operate my lift.

Recently purchased this generator because we live on the coast. Set it up this weekend in preparation for upcoming storm. Set up was very easy and the remote control function is awesome. We can turn it on and off without having to go outside. Great feature.

This generator has plenty of bang for your buck. During Hurricane Helene we were struggling on a borrowed generator, but now we can rest assured we are prepared for the next central Ga storm with our new Westinghouse Generator. I like that you can do the traditional running of a drop cord to your house or wire directly into your home with a transfer switch. The dual fuel feature is great, during the aftermath of Helene it was so hard to find gasoline, but super easy to find propane cylinders to swap out. My wife enjoys the east startup with the push start and remote fob, and I enjoy the easy setup and variety of features. Definitely would buy again, hopefully not for another 10 years though.

We received delivery at 2:42 this afternoon. After we checked that all the parts were included, my husband told me he wanted me to be very familiar with & comfortable using the generator. My husband handed me the instructions & asked me to assemble it. The instructions were very easy to understand. He stayed with me while I assembled it, gave me a hand when I needed a lift for the wheels. It was running like a dream by 4:30 that day. Like I said: Love it, love it, love it!

Works great so far! Using while renovating a house—no electricity. Remote/electric start are a major plus. Pulling a cord gets tiring/old. Always starts up on 1st engine turnover. Runs smooth. Battery charges up well. Wheel kit definitely needed to move it around. Have had other brands (Champion, Generac, Firman, etc) but so far, this one is the best.

I needed a generator I can move. It was dual fuel which is a plus. So far propane companies don't want to hook up to it from a larger tank but haven't given that option up yet. I think they are just wanting a larger installation to sell to. It starts easy, on battery, a little manipulation of the choke position which is supposed to be automatic. Wish it had a voltage gauge to say what was being used. Also an hour meter to say when it needed oil changes and maintenance. They give u a puny oil funnel and tube that's bent up. They cud do better there. Tube is not long enuf. It's not noisy. Won't upset neighbors unless ur in an alley. It looks solid and well made, once running sounds smoothe. Set up instructions could be a lot clearer and not all different pages in the manual. One had to be intelligent to follow it all.But got there in the end and am quite happy after all the research I did that I bought one good for my needs. I would not put anyone off buying this make and model. Looks good to me so far.

I had been comparing dual fuel generators for quite awhile, and the 5300 ticked all the boxes for us: dual fuel, electric start (we're getting older.....), able to hook up to house via transfer switch if we choose, and price in our budget. It arrived in perfect shape, and we had feet and wheels attached in no time. We're excited to test it out in a "pretend power outage" in the near future.

I bought this after a horrible storm hit us for 3.5 days! I was fortunate to have electricity when others didn't. So I thought it would be hard for me to learn how to operate since I'm a single 57 year old woman. Piece of cake! I chose to use propane. It was so quiet and no worries on leaving stored for carborater problems later. I didn't have problems connecting the tank either! Just read the instructions guys!

purchased the Westinghouse wgen5300s generator a couple of weeks ago and at first the Gas was not working, but the Propane worked with out a hitch. I opened a ticket up with Westinghouse and they got back to me quickly and tried a few troubleshooting tasks. Did not work and was due to shipping damage. Like I said the propane option works great and powers through when a high load gets placed on it.

I like the idea of being able to use gas or propane. I like that it has a remote. The price was very good. It's the perfect generator for this grandma to use. No regret in buying this Westinghouse WGen5300DFc. I was a winner when I bought this generator and would do it again. 😊
