This generator saved us!

We purchased this generator on our way home after being evicted from our lodging during Hurricane Ida. We were able to run one air conditioner in the den along with charging our phones and computers during the day, and a smaller air conditioner and fan/lamp at night. We had no issues getting it started or shutting it off.

WGen5300DFcv Portable Generator

Just went through Hurricane Francine and lost power for a day. It was wonderful to have this on hand so that I didn't lose my food in the freezer. It ran enough electricity to run a small window unit airconditioner, a lamp, refrigerator and freezer. Definitely important to have on hand.

Dual Fuel is the way to go

Why spend all the money on a Honda or Yamaha generator when you get more bang for your buck with this Westinghouse. You can't beat the price for the features you get. You get dual fuel (in case the gas isn't going to be arriving on time). Propane is always available during storms. Get an extra one. Started up the first pull on gas. Will test with propane tomorrow. Great features at a great value. Glad I found Westinghouse.

Power for my needs

Just purchased this today 9/5/22. After a little help getting it into the truck (It’s solid), got this generator home, and what a breeze of easily assembling the wheels and mounts—took 10 minutes. I’ll be running non-ethanol gas to be on the safe side. Competing in various cookoffs across the country, I am excited because of its dual fuel feature. As you know, some cooks may take quite a bit of time, and in the event that I do run out of gas that transition to propane to not lose temperature and continue to cook. I’m excited to see if it works out for the best. Regardless, I feel this is a solid purchase for anyone needing power needs.

Nicely designed

So far we are happy with this product. I very much like its design. However I was concerned that the oil container that came with the generator has conflicting measurement on it. One side says one thing and the other says something different, hopefully it will be ok.

Happy with purchase.

Just bought this due to an approaching winter storm. It was the last one at the store. We live in the south so our power lines don’t like ice and snow. The set up was easy to understand and though it took a few pulls to start on propane, it started easily enough. We really appreciate the detailed instructions on maintenance. Should be an easy process to keep maintained.

Generator needed after Hurricane Helene!

We feel better about the future now that we have this generator. We were without power for three days last month, but some of our friends were without power for a week to 10 days. We wanted to be prepared if this should happen again. Thanks for making it easy for us.

WGen5300DFv

I purchased this generator at the end of Dec. 2022. We've been having issues with no power in the summer months, and this generator looked like it would work well for us. We actually ended up needing it (Feb. 2023) sooner than we thought. Worked great, started right up and it is surprisingly quiet.

Easy to use power

Bought this for the inevitable power outage that gets us when least expected. Now that I have this generator at the ready, there has been no power outage in my area....but I am ready for when there is. After filling the oil,, it starts and runs easy enough, but that is all I have done so far.

So far so good

Very easy and simple installation. I just had to put on the wheels and the rubber feet. I added the oil, which was included, filled it with gas and it started on the first pull. It ran smoothly and was quieter than I had anticipated. Tested the power on all of the outlets and they all seem to work properly. Have not had to use it yet, guess I’m lucky I have not lost power in a while. But I will be ready. I scanned the QR code with my phone, filled out the registration online and they sent me a free cover for the generator.
