Finally bought a portable generator. ‘Been wanting one for many years……………. I’ve done a lot of homework, reading reviews, watched youtube videos and I decided on this brand and model. It’s Westinghouse model WGen5300DF. 5300 watts (lower using propane), so just enough to power the necessary items during power outage such as my gas furnace, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, gas hot water heater, TV, Modem and WiFi. The most important here is heat. When power goes out in the winter time and we don’t have heat we will have to stay in the hotel as it gets too cold inside the house. So now I’m good when power goes out. So far Im very impressed with it. Product quality is really good, features are outstanding. Has a 3 year warranty. Noise per manual is 68db so its about as loud as my gas powered high pressure washer. Not that bad. It’s dual fuel (gas & propane) electric start, small & compact, also has remote control for remote start. What a nice feature. Came complete with oil, funnel, spark plug wrench, etc. I added the oil as instructed, hooked up my propane tank, pushed the remote start and it started right up. Highly recommended. Im installing a Transfer Switch next. I plan on buying a generator tent or build a dog house with cooling fans so I can safely operate it during snow or rain. If anyone has any tips on how to further reduce the noise level kindly share please. I don’t want to bother my neighbors. I’ve watched youtube videos & so far the most effective is just 4 plywood sheets angled to the ground. Thanks!

Received this generator the same day we had a 19-hour outage! Interesting timing. Easy to set up. Ran on propane. I used the manual pull to start it the first time. Only took 2 pulls to get it running. Very impressive. I am using it only to run my well-pump. When the pump kicked in, the generator RPM slowed a bit for about a second, but it ran flawlessly for an hour before normal power returned. Tomorrow I'll be testing the remote control. I don't plan on using gas.

Researched portable generators for several months. decided it was worth the wait for this size and model. Perfect for <1000 sf home. not loud, compact size, was surprised how well it ran on propane. Ran for 3-4 hours so far no issues. Pleased with purchase. Still new but expect good things.

This generator appears to be the sweet spot in Westinghouse’s line, in terms of a home backup generator. Has all the features we were looking for: dual fuel, remote start 120/220 volts, portability. Wasn’t sure if it included a handle for maneuvering, but it does. Easy to add the feet and wheels and then easy to move, even through a grassy yard. Build is solid and size is reasonable, given its power rating.

Very happy after purchasing in May 2024. Propane fuel a lot safer and cleaner to use and store than gasoline. Perfect size 274cc engine with remote start and the 240volt receptacle delivers power to my transfer panel for all our needs during power outages.

We bought this after loosing power for two days the week before Christmas. Good thing we did because we lost power for a short time Christmas morning and again Christmas night. We have only run it for around 5 hours so far on LP and it started right up and didn't miss a beat!

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.

This model has all the features I was looking for - dual fuel (I prefer propane to the hassle of gas engine maintenance), electric start (at 70 years old the recoil start is bad for my back), adequate power to run a sump pump and well pump, and Westinghouse reputation.

Bought this on a Friday and got it by Monday. Thank goodness it came in earlier than expected because we would have been without power for days. It is kinda loud, but well worth the price. It is currently powering our fridge and our neighbor’s. Could power more if needed.

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.
