Easy to set up and stat

I received the generator for Christmas. There was some assembly required, but very easy to do. Great instructions. After assembly, I read the startup procedure. I chose to use propane instead of gasoline. The propane "hookup" was simple. with a few pulls of the recoil starter, and BINGO! We've got back up power. The generator motor runs especially quiet. More so than I expected. Nevertheless, I am happy with my Christmas gift and confident if I need to put it into service, It'll meet my emergency power needs.

Convenience with dual fuel

After research many kind of portable generator, I decided to purchase Wgen5300dfv with a lot of good features that I need but low price. This generator can run for fridge, fans, portable heater or ac. In special, I can store propane for operating it that is not wory about fire if storing fuel. I am so pleasure with this generator.

Great Generator! Arrived fast!

I purchased the WGen3600DFcv generator last week and it arrived two days ahead of the originally scheduled arrival date. Filled the oil, added gas and it started easily on the second pull. Next, I tested the propane and it started on the second pull as well. Thus far, I have run it for about 1 hour to help seat the rings and break it in. When time allows, I will run it more to continue the break-in process before using it camping. Based on the 1 hour of run time, I'm happy with the purchase. I ordered it without the wheel kit only to realize it is heavier than I anticipated. Therefore, I ordered the wheel kit which I highly recommend. The generator seems to be of good quality for the price.

Great Features

We just bought this and are so pleased with the duel fuel option. We love the versatility and ease of switching back and forth between gas and propane. We store a lot of propane, so this generator was a must for us. It's easy to use and works great.

Dual Fuel Capability

I got this to replace my previous generator that failed when I needed it most during a wildfire that took out electricity for over a week. The ability to use gasoline or propane was especially helpful when gasoline was running short. I was able to keep my refrigerated & frozen food from spoiling, run my well, water heater, microwave, WiFi, a couple of lights & outlets all working during the outage.

Love The Dual Fuel Aspect

After researching, I purchased this Generator because it had just the right wattage I was looking for and the dual fuel aspect was very appealing. The only issue was the frame had a cosmetic flaw that did not hinder its operation, so I decided to keep the generator because it would be more of a hassle to return that was worth it. So far everything is working as advertised.

Very convenient

I bought this dual fuel generator to replace an old gas gen that is far too heavy for me to lift into my truck to take to get repaired. Figured was better to just buy a new one than (never) get the old repaired. Love that it is dual fuel, just wish this model had a remote electric start. I also purchased a commercial grade 4-outlet extension cord that connects to the 240v output, since it’s really two 120v, that way I can put a high draw appliance or tool on each of the two 120v legs.

Starts right up

I purchased this earlier this year. Followed the break in process and haven't had to use it as we got it for emergency power loss. Just got hit with a bad storm and lost power and went and got it out and it fired up on the 3rd pull after sitting for several months. Been running our fridge and freezer as well as providing us with some power. Very happy with it.

Versatile and Safe

Purchased during Florida hurricane season for home power emergencies. Great peace of mind with the full set of generator features for both home and RV connection, using either gasoline or propane. And what a great owner's manual, too! It is clear, comprehensive, very understandable, and printed on a full-page glossy paper stock! What a pleasure to be able to actually page through an indexed document.

Dual Fuil

Power outages have been a problem. We shopped several places and decided to purchase the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv for three reasons: 1. It had enough wattage to run the essentials if our power failed. 2. It runs on both gasoline and propane. (If power is out for an extended period, gasoline may be hard to find.) 3. The price was right. Thankfully, we have not had to run the generator for a long period but have tested it under load and it performed well.
