Best purchase ever!

This is exactly what I was looking for. My wife and I are caregivers for our elderly mother and we live in Minnesota. There is no way we can be without power, heavy snow brings down power lines in winter and cooling fans are necessary in summer. We now have a great peace of mind knowing that we have the security of a Westinghouse generator. Believe me, I have done my research. I am thoroughly confident that I have purchased the best generator that my money can buy. Thank you.

Great for the price

We just purchased this generator and it is a good value for the price. We live in Louisiana and have lost power a few times over the past few years. It gets very hot in the summer so this will definitely come in handy to power a window unit as well as our refrigerator. Setup has been easy.

Testing it All

I picked this up today, and so far, I'm testing it out using only propane. My wife insisted on purchasing a model with an electric start. I'm glad that she did because I can't start it using the recoil handle. I have tried it with and without the choke. I cut grass weekly with a lawn mower that only has a recoil handle, so I'm surprised that I am unable to start the generator using that method. Using the electric start with propane seems to be providing the correct voltage to the outlets that I have tested. I will contact Westinghouse technical assistance about the recoil issue. Also, the generator seems a lot louder than I expected it to be. I will recommend this generator to a friend, if I can work out the recoil issue.

better than an extension cord.

wgen5300df. arrived 1 1/2 weeks faster than promised. Box wasn't even damaged. All was complete and undamaged, looks great Hint before I instaled last wheel I laid it on its side to put in the oil. Works great on camper a/c with microwave at the same time. love the remote. When starting without auto start finding the choke to turn on then to get turned off after it fires is tricky. Going to ad a small piece of fuel tube on choke leaver so it will be easier to find. Best power and options for the money. Hint,,, to change the break in oil. Lift one side till the drain plug can be pulled w out dripping. screw in small clear fuel tubing check plug size for tube size, drain, then lift again to add oil. Charger was missing but not a big deal.

Dual Fuel 5300/4800 Watts

Gave it a test run a few days after delivery and very happy with its performance I was able to powerup the well pump, refrigerator and lighting as well as a television. The dual fuel is great most outage last less then 10 hours and the propane is great I don't have to worry about the gasoline going stale and clogging up the carburetor jets. However when longer outages occur I have the ability to fill the gasoline and run the first 13 hour gasoline before switching over to propane without shutting the generator down. Love It!

Best Options

I chose this generator after months of intensive comparing and research. I wanted a generator with the option of running propane and gasoline. This particular model provides all the features and options that I was interested in and backed by the Westinghouse name. Product arrived safely and as advertised.

Great Vesatility for the price

I bought this to back up our 1500 squarefoot home in conjuction with a mechanical interlock. I love being able to use propane which can be stored much longer and more conveniently than gasoline. I use propane already for our BBQ so now I will just have a couple more containers.....just in case. Great product, hopefully it will stand the test of time.

Starts great, but no electrical output

Bought it 3 months ago. Tried starting it and was very impressed by how easily it started. Assuming it was good to go in all aspects, we never tried plugging anything into it until we took it to its 1st job. At that point, it was just a huge disappointment. Spent an hour trying to get it to produce power. Finally called the company, only to find out that we had to take our brand new generator to a service center to get it to work properly. Westinghouse dependability sucks to say the least.

Great so far

I ungraded my electric service to include a transfer box and needed a 240v generator. This item looks great! Easy set up (oil, gas, wheel kit etc) and it started right up with the push button and remote. The real test will be when I lose power again.
