Excellent Features, Easy Setup and Use

I bought the generator for emergency use to protect our daughter's home and swimming pool in Dallas. This generator has sufficient capacity to power the pool pump as well as some home circuits including refrigerator, gas furnace, internet, and some lights. It is a dual fuel model, which allows us to set it up for primary use with propane, with the option to go to gasoline if necessary. The information provided is extensive and adequate, and setup was straightforward.

I bought this generator as a back up in case we lost power. It was easy Bought this generator as a back up in case we lost power. It was easy to us to assemble( not much needed) And easy to operate. We love that it is dual fuel, both gas and propane.

Haven't used it yet but we'll see...

We just purchased the 5300DFcv portable generator today so we haven't had a chance to use it yet. We purchased based on previous positive experiences with Westinghouse products as well as customer reviews. We'll do a test run tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well!

So far, so good

Unpacked the unit, installed wheels and feet and connected propane tank. Fired up and ran for a few minutes. Then poured some treated fuel in the tank and ran it on gasoline for a few minutes. Didn’t yet apply any load but it looks like it’s ready to go for the next time we lose power.

Very impressed

We recently purchased this Westinghouse generator after going through two hurricanes in two weeks. We lost a refrigerator full of food 2x. We are very impressed with this generator. Well made, easy to start and easy to hook up. Runs our refrigerator, portable AC as well as lamps and chargers for cell phones.

Overall the best for the $

i bought this generator a week ago and when I tried to start it for the breaking in run, it started after the second pull of the cord. ran for the one hour with no problems. i used propane to test it and the only thing that concerns me is that during the entire hour there was a steady popping sound.

Easy cranking

I purchased this model after researching several generators and this model is very easy to work with . The large wheels allow me to store away till I need it . The cranking was easier than I thought it would be . It’s not loud at all and no vibration .The dual fuel is great . I have 3 bottles of propane stored as well as gas . It will easily run a refrigerator/freezer and a couple of smaller items .

Gas and Propane

2 weeks after I bought the generator our power went out. Our Christmas party was the next day and we had no power. I unpacked the generator put oil and gas in it and on the first pull it started. The generator ran for 2/12 days and totally saved our party. You would have never known the power was out. Our food and freezer stayed running we had Christmas lights and music. Thank you for such a great reliable product.

Great Product

I was not sure if this purchase would ever pay off, but it has! I lost power in my house for 3 days this Spring, and thanks to this generator I was able to keep my food from going bad, wash my families cloths and keep internet. This was a life saver.

Quality made

The Westinghouse WGen5300DFCV is incredibly well made. Its solid design and quality craftsmanship makes this a great choice for whatever your needs may be. We recently had a major hurricane come through our area and lost our power. The instructions were easy to follow and the generator ran well. I would recommend this purchase to anyone.
