Good Generator…..5300 DFc

I am in the break- in phase and Generator WGen5300DFC is running good. I have used both Gas and Propane .without issue. The reason for 4 stars is after unboxing I realized the open cage is slight bent, therefore, the generator is also slightly bent. The blue frame of the generator is not even. With this being said, it does not effect the running of generator. Purchased the wheel kit and it rolls and moves fine. (No directions for wheel kit and handle)

Amazing Performance from a small generator.

Such an amazing generator for the price. We are fixing to face an upcoming snow/ice event and will do so with confidence since we now have a generator. It uses both propane and gas for a fuel source and has a runtime of 14+ hours on a fill up of gasoline. Thank you Westinghouse for making such a quality product for a great price.

For Home Backup

After doing a lot of research I settled on this generator. The one I used before finally died and I needed a new one. I do not need a Whole Home generator… just to run critical items. This has more wattage then my old one that ran everything I needed, so I know this one will not only run what I need… I can run more items! I was very impressed with the noise level! Even though it is bigger than my old one, it runs much quieter!!! I like the dual fuel feature and especially the electric start! So nice just pushing a button!! The battery came charged as well. I have only run it in the “Break-in Period”, but am very satisfied with it! After reading all the positive reviews when researching, I am confident this generator will do the job!

Great looking unit

We just purchased this in expectation of the big ice storm approaching. It came in 3 days and completely intact with all parts. We also ordered the wheel/handle attachment and got the battery charged. The charging took less than 20 minutes and the assembly was maybe 40 minutes. Can't give the 5th star without having run it yet but so far we are satisfied with our purchase.

Generator disappointed

This generator can't run the 120v plugs at the same time as the 240v ,I have it set up in a shed ,but I can't run a fan at the same time your running the generator .I have to run an extension cord from the house outlet. If you're looking do the same I can't recommend it.

Reliable Power When We Need It Most

We've been very pleased with the Westinghouse 5300 DFC portable generator. It has been a huge help during power outages, especially in the cold winter months here in southern Colorado. Knowing we can keep essential systems running when the weather turns rough provides real peace of mind. One of the standout features for us is how easy it was to adapt the generator for high-altitude use. Setup was straightforward, and the generator runs smoothly and reliably at elevation without any fuss. Performance has been consistent, and it starts up without issues when we need it most. Overall, this generator has proven to be dependable, user-friendly, and well-suited for our environment. If you live in a colder, high-altitude area and need a reliable backup power solution, this unit has been a solid choice for us.

Great Purchase

I bought the WGen5300DFc several weeks ago from Walmart who had the best price. Very happy with the purchase of this generator. I had already ordered and received the wheel kit from Amazon, which was easy to install in about five minutes. Having read several reviews of damage upon delivery, I carefully examined the unit upon arrival - there was no damage, dents or scratches - it appeared to have been handled carefully. The quick start guide is easy to follow. Put in the supplied oil, connected the battery lead, attached my propane tank and it fired up on the first try using the electric start. I like having the optional pull start in case of a dead/low battery. I don't plan on messing with gasoline, but I like having the option if needed. Ran it for 15 min, then shut it down and changed the oil. I was happy to see that the original oil still looked very clean and did not have any metallic bits that I could see. Started it up again using the remote and ran it for 30 minutes with a light load - all worked very well. It is somewhat loud when standing next to it, but not as loud as other generators I have been around. I have very limited space around the house, so the generator sits only about eight feet away from the house, but inside the house, you only hear a low hum. It will be used for power outages at home, and since it has the TT-30R receptacle for RV's, will be using it for camping. Very happy with this generator with all its abilities and back-up features.

Dent on frame found upon unboxing

I just unboxed my new generator. I was surprised to see a big dent and scratches on the other frame. I would have expected better packaging to prevent damages to a new product. I haven't tested out the product yet, but hopefully the dent is just a cosmetic issue and not a sign of a more serious issue with the generator.

Easy to use Generator

I bought this generator to give me piece of mind living here in Florida. It powers the necessary parts of our house if we were to lose power because of a Hurricane. It is easy to assemble and wheel around while being compact enough to where it doesn't take up to much space. Happy with my purchase.

Love it

We recently had a 5 day power outage and this Generator came through and saved the day. I love the fact that it can be ran on gas as well as propane. The gas last longer that the propane, but they both do a great job. Our determining factor of getting this generator is that it has an electric start and has a remote, so it can be turned on and off with a push of a button.
