I purchased this generator for remote and home backup. Everything was in the package and was super easy to put together. Instructions were very understandable. The unit started up immediately both in propane and gas mode. I was quite pleased with the low level of noise! I am ordering the house connection as it was the only thing not included in the package. Hopefully we will never need it for a home backup but has plenty of power to keep all our appliances operating!

This unit has a clean sharp look and delivers a lot of bang for the buck. Love the propane option that lets me quickly respond to short-term power outages (2-9 hours) …just connect a propane bottle and fire it up. I like not having to worry about treating, draining or wasting left over gasoline, but the gas option is nice for more economical operations during long term multi-day power outages. This unit provides enough power to keep a 2000 square foot house in lights, plus run a few smaller appliances such as TV equipment, freezers, refrigerators, microwave and maybe a single burner on your electric cook stove. Not for operation of Central Heat & Air, large electric water heaters, dryers, ovens etc. Buy a bigger unit if you want to power those. I like that it is not too large so I can move it in place with confidence. Also stores nicely in smaller spaces unlike the larger models. A nice surprise was that it wasn’t as loud as I was expecting. Cons; This unit should have come with the Digital Data Center that provides real-time updates on maintenance information as many other Westinghouse models do, especially at this price. Shipping condition was unacceptable. As others have complained, my unit arrived and the box was in decent shape. But when I opened it, I found damage to the generator in three places. Two big dents on the frame and one on the control panel. I decided to keep it and work on the damage because these units have been hard to find. There should be an easy fix for this. Perhaps more packing material or better handling practice. For the life of me, I don’t understand why this is still a problem.

I had only ran the generator to break in the motor, and test the voltage output, so less than five hours of use. The break-in involved changing the oil after running for 30 minutes, 1-hour, 1-hour, and 3.5-hours under variable loads. It ran fine and provided power under a 3000 watt load. I used ethanol-free 91 octane and the generator easily starts up. This generator is our emergency home power through a transfer switch.

I havent formally tested the product but it appears to have great features. the only drawback was that it does not come with wheels and requires to be purchase separately. It has everything I like but with now wheels. It seems every other westinghouse generator has the wheels included.

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.

My generator, the first one I ever had, was installed on the day a major snowstorm was forcast. At 12 AM a tree fell down and knocked out the power, which left me with no heat. I was so surprised at how easy it was to roll the generator out of my garage, plug it in and use the remote start to get it started. I flipped the F switch up, which was set for my furnace and I was able to stay warm until the power was restored. I was also able to have some lights and my refrigerator on. Thank you for a great product.

This generator is so nice. Bigger than I thought and actually heavy. I haven’t used it yet but I feel confident it will definitely do the job! I purchased after hurricane beryl so I can be prepared in the future. I was disappointed that it did not come with wheels and handle since the picture showed a handle and wheels and it didn’t say otherwise. Dual fuel. Push start, key fob.

I was looking for a Generator with Dual Fuel and 5000+ Watts, this Generator is what I was looking for. Starting first test powered right now on Propane and ran great. It isn’t too bit so it fits right under a table in the garage for easy access for when I needed it. I am ready for a power outage and can run it on Gas or Propane. This Generator will be able to power the essential devices when there is an outage and was not the loud as other generators I have heard from past outages. Very happy with the purchase and instructions provided to get the generator up and running.

I just got this product today! It was easy to put together and it came with oil and j out gas in it. Took it out side and the start button is awesome. It took a few tries to get the fluids going but it stopped and then restarted on its on which is a nice feature. I live the remote start and push button start! Very user friendly!

I bought this generator on the recommendation of an electrician. This generator will be used to power my house in the event of an emergency such as a power outage. I like the idea that I can choose between running this generator with gasoline or propane. The remote control starter is a huge plus.. This generator would also be good for camping because I like to do a lot of that. Although I have not yet started this generator up yet, I am sure that I will be pleased with the performance and output of electrical power.
