The WGEN5300DF arrived late due to December rush and Covid issues. The unit arrived in great condition and the assembly was quick and easy. After 4-5 tugs the unit started with a propane fuel supply. The use of propane fuel was the reason we selected this generator. Now, no concerns with fuel quality when a tree comes down on a power line 5 to 6 months from now

Despite some initial hiccups upon starting the machine, it ran well (using liquid propane) for the first 3 hours during the break-in period. But after that she wouldn't start up at all, emitting a scary backfire each time, and leaving me with a 130-pound brick. Support was initially challenging to obtain-- the first tier of help are easily the friendliest people on the entire planet, but they are the first to admit that they aren't even qualified to help you tie your shoelaces. However, getting a response from a tech was neigh-impossible ("You said you'd call, but you never call..."). Eventually, Westinghouse did ship me new high and low pressure regulators to try, but that did not solve the problem. After that, it took me about a week to learn that the only surefire way to chat with a tech was through email, and things went faster (as fast as email can be, I guess) from there. Support helped arrange for an authorized servicer to diagnose the issue (fortunately one was located about 20 minutes away), and fix it they did. Since then I have only run it another hour, even adding a small load, and so far, so good. The electronic start now works flawlessly, and the pull-start was refreshingly smooth. I have not yet had a need to try larger loads for longer periods of time, but with the machine starting and purring as it should since the repair, I am more confident that I hopefully made a smart purchase (and would even add a star). By the way, I have only run the machine on propane so far. I have no intention of using gasoline for as long as I can avoid it.

This generator works well. Once I got it set up and pushed the button to start it, it fired right up and seems to run smoothly. I haven't ran it a lot yet to test the load response and/or overall operation. But from the initial time with it, I'd recommend this product.

I bought this unit on 6/13/2024 and tested on Propane and Gas the unit started right away with remote start. The noise is about 85 dB which very low with Portable AC and Full Fridge loads. 100% Recommended. When will they come out with a Hybrid unit Solar charge and Gas?

I purchased this generator in 2021, I just now saw that I could leave a review. The only problem I had with the generator was with the battery, eventually Westinghouse did send me a new battery to replace the one that was defective. All in all the generator has been very good to me and I'm very happy with it.

Purchased a WGen 5300DFc a couple weeks ago. Arrived 9/12. Delivery person was great. Wheel kit a dream. Hooking up to propane easy. It starts (and chokes) with no issues - love it. The fob is flimsy I'm hoping to get a back up. There is an exhaust issue. The CO light flashes, it shuts off. Good to know it works. It's in a bldg made for my old generator. never a problem. Need to work that out.

I live in the North GA mountains, and we lose power frequently due to downed trees. A generator is a must for my area. Adding into the fact that I just brought home a medically fragile 8 month old from the hospital after a long 240 day stay who is on medical equipment that must be powered. I needed something reliable that will start up when I need it. The electric start along with the remote start is a great feature for me and my wife to be able to start this generator up in a moments notice for my son's equipment. This can not only power all of my son's needs but also many other items within my home during the event of an outage.

This generator was a highly sought-after item in Texas after the big winter storm in February 2021, especially for those like me who waited to buy it until the tax-free weekend in Texas in April. Luckily, I found one available online. The shipping was quick, and the generator was very easy to set up. I think this is a good product especially for people who may be intimidated about buying and operating an emergency generator. Don't worry. It's easy! I haven't needed it in an emergency yet, but so far everything with this product seems to be great. I will be ready for the next big storm.

Bought this the day before Beryl hit Texas. Easy to set up and use, powered a 14k BTU A/C unit and Fridge with icemaker, as well as some lights and phone charging. So grateful to have bought it when I did! Ran both Propane and Gasoline, and it worked great. Wish it was a little more powerful, so I could run the house on it.

This is a easy to use Generator. It started easily. It was easy to set up. I am glad it has dual gas and propane energy sources. The directions are easy to follow for the set up. The wheels on the unit help with mobility. I am glad we purchased this item for piece of mind when the power goes out.
