Works flawlessly!

I was looking for a generator that can handle all the electrical requirements needed for our camper and found this Westinghouse to be the perfect match. The instructions made the initial start-up a breeze, and it runs everything in our camper including the air conditioner without any problems. A simply great product at an affordable price! We couldn't be happier with our purchase!

Easy setup, relatively quiet operation

Bought a few days ago in advance of a snow/ice storm.. our power goes out 4-5 times a year with above ground utilities. Setup instructions were easy to follow. Generator is easy to move with the handle. Was able to power a fridge, deep freeze, 2 space heaters, modem, and TV.

Great Price for Dual Fuel

I bought this with the plan to only use the LP. The manual is well written. I added oil, connected the LP tank, and ran it for an hour with no load (recommended for engine break in). It started easy and ran great. I plugged in a few small items to test afterwards with no issues. I haven't used it in an emergency yet; however, I like the peace of mind of having it.

Great Generator fur 500

I got this the Generator because I live in an area that has that experiences safety power shut offs due to fire danger. It's a pull cord, that starts on an easy pull first time. The included screw in Oil funnel isn't that long. Just use an additional funnel to place into the see in one. I ran the fridge off one outlet and a 50' Reel power block to charge phones and run a lamp. Conduction is very sturdy.

Great In An Emergency

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.

Great Quality and Ease of Use

I bought the WGen5300DFv back in January, anticipating future power outages due to California's continuing fire issues. Fortunately, I have had to use the generator only on one occasion. However, the fire season is just beginning. After careful reading of the well written instructions about safety and setup, I test fired it up to be ready of its emergency use which came a few months later. I was able to power all of my basic household needs during a 22 hour outage. I found the unit to be reasonably quiet, smooth running and efficient. I would definitely recommend this generator to anyone looking for a quality unit.

Good Generator

I like the dual gas feature in the event of emergencies. Lubricate the bolts prior to attaching the mounting foot. It is very tight to the point that the bolts would not screw in. I was worried that the bolt would snap and after wishing some WD40 I had no troubles.

Concern about choke

Just bought and it took several pulls to get it started. After running it for a while every time l tried to turn choke down it started running rough. I hope this will remedy itself after break in time.Just tried generator and it works fine but still runs rough when I turn choke off.

Easy to set up

We bought this right before Christmas and got it set up. Thankfully we did not have to use it, but we were forecast for tornadoes in Iowa in December which is highly unusual. In addition to not being able to go without heat We had a freezer and refrigerator full of food that we could not afford to lose.
