Great bang for the buck!

Picked it up. Added oil. Put wheels and legs on. Cranked it over a few times without fuel to coat all of the moving parts with oil. Added fuel. Pressed start and it cranked with one second and ran smoothly within 5 seconds. Ran it for the first hour without load, then another hour with a window unit and it ran smoothly the entire time. Looking for to using it during the next power outage.

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.

Awesome! 2nd Unit I purchased!

So I purchased 2 identical units due to all of the features and convenience. I love the dual fuel option and plan to use propane primarily due to the "clean fuel" and not have to worry about the carburetor gumming up when not in use. Very pleased with these units.

Does the job!

Bought this to replace another brand generator that was no longer reliable. I set this one up, filled with oil, attached the propane tank, turned on the switch, and pressed the starter. Instant start and it does it every time. Excellent product. Would definitely buy it again.

Good Decision!

I bought this last month and it is not installed yet. But, it arrived very quickly and I have been reading all about it for months and I know I will be satisfied with the performance. Have it out of the box waiting for install and everything looks fine. Even the installer said I have bought the best. Will give another review after it's installed.

Good design and manual

This generator is well designed, and the manual is very specific and clearly written by people who know about generators. There are some nice touches that really decrease frustration, like the quick disconnect battery, which is so helpful if you are keeping it on a trickle charger (fumbling with little nuts and screws in sub-freezing temp is no fun). It started right up on propane and runs like a champ. I asked tech support a question over email and they got right back to me.

Cool features, but disappointing quality & shippin

Pros: * 3-year warranty which I'm afraid I'm going to be using if they ever answer the phone. * push button start * quieter than comparable Champion model. * starts right up on either gasoline or propane * fuel gauge Cons: * L14 Outlet does not work. I connected the cable to my Champion generator and it worked fine so I know it's not the cable. * like other comments packaging is terrible, no padding just a thin box, I had it delivered to Lowe's thinking that it might be in better shape picking it up there but the box had a hole ripped in it. The frame is bent and I think that's from the factory not from Shipping. My suggested improvements would make this an awesome generator: Have four 120v standard Outlets instead of two. Add a digital display that shows the load level, watt level, hours ect. Put some styrofoam in your packaging to help protect it during shipping like I got when I bought a dishwasher.

Nicely put together package

I just received my unit. My 1st impression is awesome. I had very little to put together out of the box. The manual that comes with the unit leaves no questions regarding operation using either propane or gasoline. As I had a propane tank ready all I needed to do was add oil, hook up at propane tank and start the generator with ease. Time will tell as to the overall performance but for now I am very pleased.

Hold Strong

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.

Fantastic Generator

The Westinghouse generator was a breeze to put together and took about 15 minutes! The generator came with many extras: oil and funnel, tools spark plug wrench and open end wrench (13 mm & 10 mm), battery & battery charger, remote start fob, and handle and wheels, and I love that it has the plug to plug directly into a transfer switch! It is also very easy to start and It was also a very reasonable price.
