We purchased this in Mar. but just opened the box to put it together today. I think it will still be good, but the metal cover over the starter is bent. Not sure if it happened during the delivery or during the production of the product. It looks like a sturdy piece of equipment, I just hope the dent doesn’t deter trying to start it.

I bought model # WGen5300DFcv, it's got 6500 watts peak power and 5300 watts running, runs on gasoline or propane. We bought it because we are in Western North Carolina near Asheville, and Hurricane Helene knocked out our power for 15 days. And this Westinghouse generator ran like a champ for 12 hours on a single tank of gas for the duration of this power outage. Performing post use/storage maintenance was easy. Nothing but praise for this open frame generator.

I bought this in april 2020 and it stayed in the box until recently a tropical storm knocked power out in several counties around me. I quickly put it together and started running drop cords for the refrigerator and hot water and the coffee pot....it works great.

Just received my generator. Out of the box and running in minutes. Wheels and pads went on very easily. The funnel for the oil is very convenient. Started after a couple pulls. I haven't had the gen very long, but I think it is going to work out great.

The Westinghouse Generator was easy to unpack and install the wheels and other components. Easy instructions. The generator started right up and has been working well. It is easy to store. The handle attached to the generator helps the generator to be very moveable. A great purchase and we are happy with getting this Westinghouse Generator.

I just bought this a week ago so I haven't had to use it yet. I bought it for emergency purposes since the power failures of last February. I bought the duel fuel because it's possible to store propane for long periods of time whereas gasoline has a limited "shelf life."

I’m very pleased with this generator. It’s easy to use and starts quickly. I live in a rural area where power outages are frequent. This generator keeps my sump pump, fridge, microwave, lights and a couple portable heaters (in the winter) running.

Very easy and simple installation. I just had to put on the wheels and the rubber feet. I added the oil, which was included, filled it with gas and it started on the first pull. It ran smoothly and was quieter than I had anticipated. Tested the power on all of the outlets and they all seem to work properly. Have not had to use it yet, guess I’m lucky I have not lost power in a while. But I will be ready. I scanned the QR code with my phone, filled out the registration online and they sent me a free cover for the generator.

Purchased the Westinghouse WGen5300DFcv generator in July 2024 to be prepared for the next storm that hits Texas. This generator was easy to assemble and looks amazing. Got it up and running - pretty lightweight and purrs like a well-oiled machine. Settled on this one after quite a bit of research. Chose it because of dual fuel capability, running watts, selection of voltage output, and other features including the CO Sensor monitors. This machine should run the necessary appliances during the next power outages. Great features and a great price, too!

I am just setting this up today. The set up was easy..very easy. This is a "emergency" generator for me and it will sit for a while. This is why I wanted propane option, and manual start. No battery to go dead, and with propane I do not have to worry about gas going bad. I set it up, and in two pulls it started up. Do not forget to use the choke every time, even when it is hot. It will start right up. Even my daughter was able to start it. Quality looks great, it is a bit noisy, but any open generator is going to be noisy. I have seen allot of this type of generator and it is no noisier than any other generator in its class. I am very happy. It is what I was looking for, it is well built, and looks like it will work for years to come.
