First Generator

Easy setup for first time generator owner. Nice user manual. Appears to be very well constructed. It was well packaged with all listed accessories. Compact design and will be relatively easy to roll in and out of storage awaiting our next hurricane and/or winter ice storm power outage.

Great!

Was skeptical at first due to the shipping damage, but it turned out to just be cosmetic. Generator works great! Tested it using both gas and propane and no issues. I am impressed at how simple and seamless it is to switch between the two fuel sources. My only complaints are minimal - a wrench to connect the propane wasn't included and the tool kit doesn't come with a way to attach to the frame.

Compact and lightweight

I bought the WGen5300DFV for it's compact size and it's a dual fuel generator. So far it's everything advertised. I like that it has a 240v outlet which gives me more options. I was looking for a dual fuel generator for versatility. This generator checks all my boxes and is economically priced.

I love it

Easy to use with 5 gallon propane tanks. Have not used with gas and do not plan to because gas is a gross mess. Arrived dented. The oil dipstick is cheap plastic, trying to find a metal dipstick with a magnet. Used the same motor oil I use in my SUVs: 5-30 Ultra Platinum and a few squirts of Hyperlube Zinc Replacement. Bought for backup in case the electricity goes out in the winter I can still run heaters and a stove top burner. The noise would be obnoxious though if running at night.

Feeling Safe before the storm

I purchased this Generator a few days before a projected winter storm. After watching all of our neighbors prepare their generators for the storm. After making the purchase i feel just as safe as any of them. Fortunately we have not had to use it yet. I know the name Westinghouse has our backs when the time comes!

Nice Generator for the Price

This generator worked well during the 9 hour power outage I had. It saved the food in my refrigerators and freezer. I like this generator. The only suggestion is that I wish the oil draining pipe could be a little longer. The plastic oil dip is a little too soft and the screw can be damaged easily.

Westinghouse 5300 in a pinch

We bought this generator in case we went through another winter where we lose power for an extended time. We busted it open an hour into no power and in about 30min we had heat again! Easy to assemble and then use. Cranked up after three strokes. Highly recommend.

Very Good Generator

I am very pleased with this Generator. This is the 3rd generator I had to buy this week, (the other 2 were a different brand). After the oil that was included was added, I started up on the first try. I ran it without any load for the first hour to break it in. Put a load on it and works as advertised. Very pleased! I will be buying Westinghouse from now on!

Perfect for hurricane season

This is the perfect resource for hurricane season. We frequently lose power in South Louisiana, and the flexibility of the dual fuel allows us to be ready for any contingency. A whole home generator is far too expensive for most families, but this portable generator meets our needs in a very economical way.

Great generator

Bad storms came through and left large areas without power. After day two couldn’t take the heat and humidity anymore. Purchased this item and was able save perishable foods from going bad and run a few lights and fans to keep air circulating to keep family cool in triple digit temperatures. Under a medium load, had to refuel about 12-14 hours. It worked well for everything we needed in a time of need. My only regret is I should have bought one a lot sooner.
