We purchased the generator just after Hurricane Ian hit the Gulf Coast of Florida. We were without power for 7 days and were able to save all the food in our fridge with the help of the generator. We are also campers and will use the duel fuel generator to dry camp. We could not be happier. Easy to use and starts on the first pull. Thank you so much!!!

Just bought and unboxed instructions were easy to understand and set up all notes and diagrams were simple for anyone to use which is great if I'm not home and my wife or relatives need it in emergency. Only thing I would say is my shed is higher off the ground, about 4 to 6 inches, the wheel base is really low. Four wheels would make it a lot easier to load onto platforms instead of the two back wheels.

One thing to note. This generator cannot put out 120v and 240v simultaneously per the manual. I bought this to power my well which is on an adjacent property and requires 240v so it is perfect for my situation. I have another generator for my house. If you need 120v and 240v at the same time you need a different generator.

I bought this generator right before hurricane Milton. I am so glad I did as we needed it after the storm. It was easy to assemble and start it up. It ran all day on a tank of gas and was able to run our fridge and some other items in the kitchen as well as some lights, a few fans and our vacuum. I am very happy with this generator.

I bought this due to the usual power outages in the L.A. during our heatwaves. It's meant to power the refrigerator, portable AC, and some lights. I especially like that it's a dual fuel use and the featured connectors. It too comes equipped with wheels and pull handle.

I must have spent the better part of a week looking for a dual fuel generator around the 5,000-6,000 watt range before finding the WGEN5300DF. I wax exactly what I was looking for, right size, right price, dual fuel, well reviewed, trusted brand.....and literally out of stock EVERYWHERE! Just as I was on the verge of giving up, I stumbled across the WGEN5300DFV, almost by accident. It was then when the heavens opened up, angels began to sing, and I found what I was looking for. The two generator models are almost the same with the exception of the WGEN5300DFV is not electric start, and there is a little variance in output, but otherwise fairly close. So for a little less money I have no problem pulling a cord over pushing a button, not to mention having to maintain a battery. After unboxing then adding fuel and lube, I was ready to break this bad boy in. Started up first pull without even a stutter. During the break-in time there was some surging, but after adding fresh gas it went away. I haven't had a chance to run it with a load, but I'm sure it will work perfectly! PROS and CONS PROS: dual fuel, easy set up, user-friendly, surprisingly quiet for a non-inverter, wheel kit, oil, funnel, spark plug wrench, basically everything you need is included except for fuel and a box cutter, which is also literally printed on the top of the box. CONS: my con list is mostly just nit-picking stuff I noticed. First off its heavy, almost 150lbs, not too bad, but may be difficult for some. Second....the way its packaged may cause the alternator cover to be dented as shown in the pictures. I was expecting to see this after reading it on other reviews and I was not surprised to see it on mine Third....the oil drain is in a really awkward spot(also pictured) it drains directly onto a cross bar which is makes getting a container in the right a little difficult if you're picky about oil getting everywhere FINALLY....this is a little more than nit-picking, and more of a design flaw(IMHO) There are multiple places in the instructions that state to "TURN THE GENERATOR OFF BEFORE SWITCHING VOLTAGE BETWEEN 120V AND 240V" The problem here is that the On/Off switch is RIGHT NEXT to the 120v/240v switch! If you're not careful and paying attention, it will be VERY EASY to hit the wrong switch In conclusion(other than the switch issue) the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv is just about the perfect mid-sized, dual fuel generator for the price. It would be my first choice if I were to need another, and would definitely recommend it to a friend. In other words.....get you one!

Works good. Nothing spectacular. This is the best deal I could find on a dual fuel model that also had 220V. I wired it up to my house. Also, it has the neutral bonded out of the box. The instructions were EASY to unbond the neutral so I could plug it into my house.

I haven’t used it yet, but it has great features at a good price. With the inadequacy of the Texas power grid, and Greg A’s inability to stand up to power companies, I’m glad I have a back up in case we loose power for multiple days in the winter again.

Great features and great pricing! Excels all of its potentials. Love the fact that it uses two different fuel types. Generator is easy to operate. Very happy with our purchase. Note: If using in high altitude 5000 ft and above, you will need a carburetor kit and DF regulator. Parts numbers are located in the manual. We are at an altitude of 6700 ft.

After shopping for other brands, Westinghouse was my choice. Easy to assemble, easy to start, powered up, runs good. The choice of power, gas or propane is a plus..Can move around easy too.Hooked up my refrigerator, freezer, and other apliances , no problem. The power is great. Would recommend this Generator to anyone. Lights out? No problem, Westinghouse got you covered.
