Westinghouse 5300 in a pinch

We bought this generator in case we went through another winter where we lose power for an extended time. We busted it open an hour into no power and in about 30min we had heat again! Easy to assemble and then use. Cranked up after three strokes. Highly recommend.

Ease of operation

The layout of the controls are easy accessible and instructions on operation and set up are easy to follow.I have only done a general start up to check out my generator for initial operation, started up first pull ran smoothly and isn’t very loud. I have not tested under load yet. I’m empress at this time.

Great Features for Price

I just bought this generator in preparation to not repeat last year’s Texas winter without power for a week straight. Have only ran the generator to test it so far but fired right up the first time on propane. I like having the option of gas or propane and 120v or 240v. It comes with wheels which is a major plus.

looks like it has a lot of good features.

I bought this generator over a month ago and it went together very easy. Instructions were clear and easy to understand. It had all the features that I would need for a generator and the dual fuel was a plus. I only started it for now, but will be using it a lot this summer and should get many years of service with it, because it appeared to be very well made.

Ease of setup and use

My Generator arrived in pristine condition. Once unboxed the instructions were clearly written and easy to follow, it took about 10 min to get it set up and running. I chose to run on LP gas. it started right up and was humming like a sewing machine. I would highly recommend getting one for your needs.

Simple setup, easy to understand features

Just purchased my Westinghouse WGen5300DFv generator, set up was a breeze. Simple wheel and stand design, added the supplied oil, with the supplied spin on funel for a no mess pour, turned on the nessasary switch and fuel valve, added fuel and it started on the second pull and purs like a kitten. So far a great product with easy set up.

Affordable, Quality Generator-many great features!

Purchased this a couple of weeks ago after ALOT of research on generators in this size/category. This weekend Hurricane Helene knocked out power to my house and we were very happy to have this available to keep home essentials running! We were quickly about to get this unboxed, assembled, and running. It has many desirable features built-in (dual fuel, wheels, handle, digital display/hour meter, easy fuel drain, etc) and it appears that it is built to last many years if properly maintained.

Phenomenal Right out of the box!

Great generator, every part feels quality. The push button start is very nice! It is a little heavy, had planned on carrying this on a cage on the back of my travel trailer but it exceeds the weight capacity for that on my camper. However overall, a great generator!

Features and ease of setting up.

I just bought this generator 12-6-23, very easy to get legs and wheels installed. Supplied funnel made oil filling very easy also. Actually have to fill with gas and get propane tank filled before I try it out. But will give another review after I try a little and see how it does. But so far happy with ease of set up and controls and toughness look of machine.

Generator was easy to assemble out of box

Came just in time during hurricane beryl and I opened box and got it up and running in less than 15 minutes(of course reading manual) I did however experience a stripped oil filler cap that resulted in it not closing all the way and leaking motor oil. Idk how or where to find the size of the oil filter cap so I can get a new one.
