Purchased and received. Unit is solidly built and the fold away carry handle is a big plus. Simple assembly, like the fact that the supplied oil was exact amount needed for motor. Only drawback thus far, there were two flat washers and two cotter pins missing from the parts bag.

I bought this back in September and got it all put together pretty easily got the oil it and just needed to put gas in it and run it. A month and a half later after purchasing it I finally get some gas and put it in and now it will not start. Nice looking machine just disappointed that it would not start.

We just bought this today and have not used it yet. I love the options of multiple outlets since we own a 5th wheel trailer. Also, a little over a month ago we had a storm come thru that knocked power out. Some people had no electricity for over a week. What made it bad was it was still in the 100's ( I live in Arizona). Now, I won't have to worry about something like that.

Just bought this yesterday because we had a storm go by and power outages. It was very easy to put together and the instructions were great. Ran all night, gas lasted about 14 hrs and I was able to power all the important things to include 2 fans at the same time. Noise is comparable to other generators but the closed windows drowned it out. Overall very satisfied so far.

I had been putting off buying a generator for over a year because I thought they would be hard to start up and difficult to figure out how to hook up equipment. The Westinghouse Gen5300DFV washed all those fears away within the first few minutes. The instructions were easy to follow and starting up with propane was a breeze. I love the option to run on propane or fuel and starting was super easy on both. This will be a great generator for any emergency use!

Chose the WGen5300DFcv to replace my very unreliable Firman generator. I put way too much time and money trying to repair the Firman that had less than 10 hours of run time. After reading several reviews and articles, I went with the Westinghouse brand. I needed something I can rely on since we live in Hurricane alley. The WGen has been exactly what I need—reliable and easy to use. The dual fuel system is a plus. Don’t worry about spending the extra money for electric start. It starts easily on the second or third pull. Once started, maintains steady rpm no matter the load. Definitely recommend.

I bought this two months ago after experiencing being without power for seven days. Unfortunately, another storm is headed my way but my prayer is that this generator will prevent me from having to endure the inconvenience of another long power outage.

We haven’t needed to use it yet, but it was very easy to put the wheels and feet on. The owner’s manual gives a lot of information. One thing I wish was included was a packing list with amounts for each item. The manual said to verify we had all pieces, but it’s hard to verify if you’re not positive how many of each piece should be included.

Got this fine unit as an upgrade from the Wen 4500w o had to power my RV. The 3500 was not enough for my use so I figured the 5300DFcv would fit the bill and boy I tell you, unlike my Ex, this 2 wheeled black and blue lil monster sure puts out......the power and amps i need to feed my power hungry lifestyle. I'm pleased with my purchase and I will stand along side my "WesGen".

I purchased this generator after a lot of shopping. This seemed to be the best brand and this particular model was perfect for what I needed for emergencies. No regrets, it arrived in perfect condition and final assembly was easy. The manual is great and will help greatly in maintaining the generator.
