I purchased this Westinghouse generator over a bunch of other well known name brands as this is my 3rd Westinghouse power product. My 1st was a super silent iGen2800c Inverter Generator with CO Sensor, which I was REALLY impressed with to run my jobsite power tools, and my 2nd was a iGen300s Portable Power Station with 100W solar panel for camping. I was so impressed with Westinghouse quality and price that when I needed to buy a bigger generator to run my office computers and lights after a hurricane, that I naturally went for Westinghouse again. I absolutely love the portability of the WGen5300DFcv, with the added bonus of running either normal gas, or propane on this generator. I like the variety and choice of the various style of power outlets on the generator, as well as the CO2 sensor, for safety. Easy to start, easy to run and so easy to move around and pack away with the wheeled frame. I don't think you can go wrong with this brand.

I purchase this generator a few days ago. First generator I've owned. Unboxed and assemble it today with no issues. Filled with supplied .74 qt oil and 5 gallons of treated ethanol-free fuel as directed and started with an easy pull. Idled smoothly and for the most part surprisingly quite for a 274cc 4-Stroke OHV engine. Easy to read digital VFT meter is a nice touch. I feel prepared for any power outages Mother Nature could throw at me.

I bought this as a back up power in case the house loses electricity. Solid build, easy to start and easy to set up. The only thing I will complain about is that when delivered it was placed on its side and the bottle of oil was crushed. Oil was all over the parts and leaked onto my sidewalk. Better directions on box or shipping method of oil would be nice.

I live in the hurricane zone in Louisiana so it's important to be prepared. This generator seems to fit the bill. It's a small package, but delivers the right amount of power for us to connect to our transfer switch that will run most items in our house when the power goes out.

The Westinghouse WGen5300DFcv is a versatile and powerful dual-fuel portable generator, offering 5,300 running watts and 6,500 peak watts on gasoline, and 4,800 running watts and 5,800 peak watts on propane. This makes it an excellent choice for emergency backup power, RV travel, or outdoor events

I bought this unit to replace my old generator that would not start. I figured with the Westinghouse name and with the great reviews this was the best choice. The weight of the generator is easy to roll around and with the hurricane season about to start I needed a generator in case of emergencies.

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.

We got this generator to keep the lights on and the food cold; because of all the Bomb Cyclones and atmospheric rivers coming through California. It is a little load, but I haven't had any problems w/ it doing what it was supposed to do. It burns approx. 1/2gal of propane an hour. Like the wheels and foldable handle for moving.

We finally got to use the generator for hurricane Idelia. Started with only one pull (for my husband). Ran for hours without a glitch. Love the fact that we can chose propane or gas. We feel much more at ease with two more months of hurricane season this year.

I haven't had a power outage yet where I needed it, but the generator appears to be very solid and well built. I like the digital display to tell the volts and hertz it is producing and the hours run. It needed some carburetor adjustment when I first got it and they promptly took care of it. Customer service was easy to contact and very helpful.
