Feature packed for the price!

Living in Texas I've experienced 48 days of 100+ degree summers, and 2 consecutive winters with weeks of sub-freezing weather. In 2021 we lost power for 6 days in 8-10 degree cold. I won't face those conditions again without a power source, and this one checks all the boxes! no more freezing days or sweltering nights for my family!

Great product they thought of everything.

This product has everything you needed to start using the generator. Even included a wrench to tighten the rubber feet. Also a flexible funnel to install the oil which was also included. I like the Idea that I can also use this with my RV with the special 30A RV connection right on the generator.

My first generator purchase.

We lose power about 6 times a year here and I decided I was tired of it. I googled generator ratings and the Westinghouse was at or near the top of all of them. I have needed it twice already and it ran great, I haven't tried it on propane yet will before long.

Ok Generator

The packaging is not good so it'll come damaged, i ordered it twice, both were dented on the alternator cover and the exhaust cover. Decided to keep it anyways since it ran fine. much louder than I originally thought. Otherwise its good, started on the first pull. Very Good Price. And I like the dual fuel capability.

We will see once I start it up

wgen5300 dual fuel, I'm in Texas and we had a bad last winter, I like the dual fuel for electric backup. We will see once I start it up, it looks good, but the box was busted, FedEx dropped it off on it's top and left it in the driveway without letting me know.

Just In The Nick Of Time!

We suffered a 14 hour outage last Sunday, which resulted in us losing everything in our refrigerator. I immediately ordered this generator the following day. We received the item 2 days later and within 48 hrs suffered another outage. The generator fired up in three pulls after following the start guide sticker on the fuel tank. It ran strong powering my refrigerator, sump pump, a table lamp, 2 laptops, and several phone chargers. I'm not sure why I never purchased a generator before, but glad I chose this one.

Great Features

We bought this in case of emergency as we recently experienced an earthquake and a severe wind storm that left us powerless for days. We were unprepared and had to leave our home as we couldn't survive w/o power. We now have peace of mind to know that when this happens again, we are ready and will be able to survive for a few days w/o power. After much research and comparison, we purchased this generator because of the dual fuel function, it's capacity to meet our voltage needs, other great features and the price was right. We have yet to use it, but are happy with it thus far as the set up was easy and we are now prepared - come what may!

Just opened

It appears to be well built and sturdy. It has a strong metal frame. Good wheels. The labeling on the user controls are visible and easy to understand. It also came with its own little tool kit. After a couple of primer pulls it fired right up. I am pleased with this purchase.

Great generator for the price and features

Bought my generator three days ago it was easy to put together in less than 10 minutes fired it up with propane let it run for a short time with a small load of 2000 watts. I was impressed at how quiet it was and very little noise level change after hooking up small appliances to test. Right now without long-term usage I would recommend this generator with confidence

Awesome Looking Generator

I haven't started the generator up yet. I just unboxed it, and assembled the wheel kit. I found a few small issues when unboxing it. The first one was there seems to be a small amount of oil all over the machine I am assuming to help prevent rust. The second issue is I noticed the bottom of the generator had some scratches on it. It looks like it has been dragged across the floor scuff some of the paint. The other two issues was the fuel gauge that is mounted on the top isnt lined up straight and the plastic that covers the face of the generator has already been removed. All minor issues, anxious to start it up and see how it runs.
