As of now, My generator has been excellent. I haven’t yet had the opportunity to really test it during a power outage, or any other time of need, but it came just about fully assembled and without hassle. After installing the wheels and feet, I simply poured in the oil, started it up after a few pulls, and run it through the 1 hour break in cycle without any issues. given the specs and features, I feel confident it will stand up to anything I’d ever need it for.

Opened my generator today and it took about 15ish minutes assemble the few parts it had. It came with the majority put together and in good shape. It is heavy but with the wheels and handle, it is easy to transport and move around. We also have some built shelving and it fits well under the last row of shelving, on the ground.

worked very well during the storm. may we make a suggestion for the oil gage , in the future change the color from yelleo to see the gage as oil is light color and could not figure out how much oil was in tank, changing color of the inner tip will help

Received mine Sept 14 2020. Followed the instructions to a tee and went thru the generator checked and double checked before starting. Hooked up my LP tank and 3rd pulled fired right up and I was stoked. Upon starting noticed white smoke bellowing from exhaust. Said to myself probably got tossed around in shipping so I will wait during my 1hr break in with no load according to manual. After 30min still blowing white smoke so I continued on with the break in period. After 1hr of running still blowing white smoke so I shut it off and checked oil level. Dip stick showed it had dropped well below half way mark on the cross hatches. Next day went to fire it up again in case tinker bell had some how fixed the issue during the night. Once started continued to blow smoke and after 10 min shut it down. Each time I shut it off I would wait 30min to 45min for the oil to settle so i could check. But this time dip stick showed oil well below, this told me it was burning oil fast. Drained what ever oil was left to get ready for return and could tells significant oil loss which told it was a internal problem in the motor. Contacted Westinghouse CS in regards to the issue on Sept.14th. 2020 and she started and opened a case #SC64858. Told me a technician would get back with me. As of writing this Sept.19th 2020, still no one has gotten back with. Generator was returned.

I haven't had an opportunity to actually start my generator up, but I'm excited about all the possible features available for fuel and power sources. It looks to be solid construction. I look forward to enjoying all of its' benefits of being ready for the storms!

I bought this generator in May 2021 for use as backup power for my house and for powering my travel trailer on camping trips where there are no hookups. Upon unboxing and adding gas, the unit fired right up on the first pull. The unit has 6500 peak watts and 5300 running watts. We took it on a camping trip and it was able to power our 15K btu AC unit, and we ran our microwave at the same time. It is a large fairly loud unit that creates a lot of power. It does not have an Eco mode so it puts out full power all the time and uses a lot of gas. What's a great feature is that it also runs on propane as it comes (although it puts out a little less power on propane). In my test on a propane tank it ran fine. In all I think that with the power it delivers, the 3 year warranty, and the fact that it runs on propane, the unit is a great value and that I made a good decision in my purchase.

Just bought this unit for those unexpected outages due to storms in the spring. Set it up and had it running in less than 20 minutes. Started on the 1st pull. Plugged in some tools to make sure it worked and it didn’t phase it. Ran like a champ.

I recently purchased this generator after reviewing other similar generators. I could not pass up the dual fuel feature but other features really help me with my selection such as: easy setup & portability, RV-ready connection, transfer switch ready, low weight, built-in fuel gauge, warranty; all at a great price. After assembly and adding the oil it started on the 2nd pull and runs great. Very happy I bought this unit and I would recommend this unit to everyone.

I liked the Dual Fuel option on this model and easy starting when you fellow their manual. the generator was not any louder then a lawn mower, in fact it was quieter. I run my unit on propane so I don't know what the gas option would sound like. The size of unit is very maneuverable for the output of power it produces I have a WGEN5300DFV I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I bought two of these generators due to the great reviews. I am very pleased with the generators. I especially like the dual fuel capacity, which is one of the main reasons for my purchase. After unpacking and adding oil and fuel, they both started with the first pull. All the specs for output were right on the money. They seem very well built and run great.I am very pleased with this purchase. Thanks to Westinghouse for such a great product. I highly recommend them.
