Easy to set up, got running quick

Bought this generator a few weeks ago. Happy with it so far. Only ran about 15 minutes so far on propane and it seems to be running well. The manual for starting was a bit confusing with what it says to do with the choke on a cold start but I figured it out.

Easy Set up

During an extended power outage, my single fuel generator wouldn't start due to a fouled carburetor. We selected the Duel Fuel Westinghouse Generator and it started right up on propane. Cleaner burning fuel and easy maintenance. I'll probably only run it on propane, but really like having the option. Great product!!

Best generator I've owned !!

I already owned a Honda generator, but Westinghouse had a price I couldn't walk away from plus it had a bigger power output as well as running on propane and gasoline. Since unboxing it and following the instructions for starting it for the first time I've been truly impressed. It's easy to start and actually blows my Honda Generator away. I have owned many Westinghouse products over the years and have been a satisfied buyer in all cases. I have a hard time expressing exactly how impressed I am with my new Wgen5300DFV generator, but I have no doubt it will continue to meet or exceed my needs in the future.

worked great from day 1

Bought this generator when my electric service to my house was knocked down by construction equipment. I ran it on propane for a solid week while waiting on repairs. The generator performed flawlessly. Easy to set up out of the box. Easy to start. Runs very quite.

Easy Set up!

Bought this so we could continue camping in our seasonal camper now that the power has been shut off for winter. Took it up, followed the easy quick set up directions and it ran everything we need to continue enjoying our time up there. And if we do end up losing power at our home I have complete faith that we can use this unit to run our home.

I Am Ready

I bought the Westinghouse 5300 dual fuel generator back in March of this year. I bought it because I wanted to be prepared for anything that could cause power disruption or if I needed it on the go. When I opened the box I noticed right away how impressive it looked and it was very easy to set up. I have used it a few times since and it still works perfectly. I am still in awe every time I look at it. Best of all is knowing it is there when I may need it the most especially since it can run off gas or propane.

Impressed

Bought another brand and it wouldn't start. Returned it and bought the Westinghouse WGen5300DFcv. It was very easy to set up. Was the same price as the other brand and had more features and more running watts and peak watts. It started on the very first pull. It has falf the noise of my old generator and vibration is minimal. I ran two freezers, a refrigerator, and a couple of lights and a fan with no trouble. It looks sturdy and it looks good.

Great Generator!

We bought this to replace an older and smaller generator. We love the electric start and the extra power this Westinghouse generator offers. It is also much quiter and smoother running. We use it for our RV and incase we lose power at home. Winter is coming and we feel sure that this generator will be ready when we need it. Thank you for a great product

Capable Generator

This generator was purchased as a power backup for south Florida weather. It has plenty of power to get you through a lengthy power outage. Delivery was quick and it arrived intact. Manuals are straightforward and set-up is easy. I intend to use it as a corded power supply, but it has the ability to hook up to the house directly with the ability to power most appliances. The dual fuel ability is great. As advertised.

Solid Generator With Nice Features

Nice generator. Simple to operate and I love the dual fuel feature so that I can be assured that it will always start when using propane. It’s a nice compact design and, unlike other generators I’ve had, you can get to the air filter easily on this one. The noise level is about what I expected and is on par with most portable generators of this size. The oil fill funnel is a nice added touch that will help prevent oil spills during oil changes down the road. I also appreciate the tires being solid so that flat tires aren’t an issue.
