LIFESAVER

I bought this two months ago after experiencing being without power for seven days. Unfortunately, another storm is headed my way but my prayer is that this generator will prevent me from having to endure the inconvenience of another long power outage.

Excellent Product

Well contructed, easy to assemble had it up in running in less than 10 minutes and it started on 2nd pull. the features of this generator are very informative. I was able to switch from Propane to Gas with no disruption in service. Fantastic generator I would highly recommend purchasing this product.

Great Value, comfort and peace of mind

We bought this while on camping vacation in Florida. We had been considering getting a generator that could power our camper when we were at campsites off the grid. This Westinghouse has a 30-amp plug-in for the camper, and will run our 15,000 Btu air conditioner and all appliances in our camper. As an added benefit, we can use it as a back-up for our freezer, refrigerator, and other things in our home. It was very easy to assemble and start. Runs a bit louder than we wanted, but the cost and LP/gasoline dual fuel option offers additional benefits. Looking for added peace of mind when camping or future storms.

Works as expected

Easy start. Works as expected. The manual has a page for assembly, but the real assembly instructions were not in the book but on the reverse side of a maintenance poster. Would be nice if frame was designed better for oil draining or if some tube was included. The supplied tube for filling could be an inch longer but it works.

Easy to use feature rich dependability,

We purchased this unit to replace an older generator. The WGen5300DFcv not only has the power we need to maintain the essential components in our household, the control panel is easy to understand and is user friendly. It was also nice to buy a generator that was ready to go out of the box with a lift handle and frame wheels. This unit will serve us well in the coming winter months during the expected power outages.

Great Product -Very Easy to Get Running

Packaged very well but easy to unpack. Very heavy so if you are a senior citizen I would recommend getting help unpacking and installing wheel kit. Put oil in generator, connected propane, turned choke on, turned switch on and generator started on like third pull. So for very pleased. Runs quieter than some the other brands my neighbors have. Definitely nice product. I bought it for home backup for power outages during storms etc. I feel confident it will meet my needs.

Over all a good generator

Bought this generator to help us with the Power Shutdowns going on here in California. It was pretty easy to unbox and put together the wheels and bottom bombers. The instructions are pretty straight forward and clear to understand. I put the oil, gas and powered it, started right up on the first pull. ran it for the recommended hour to break-in the motor. Over all I'm very happy with this purchase/investment.

Versaitie Generator

I bought this dual fuel generator not realizing how handy it would be. Living in Florida I always want a generator handy as once in a while we really need one for a few days in we have power off for a storm, then I always drain the fuel from the tank and carburetor so it will start the next time. With the propane fuel I can use it for odd jobs without having to drain the gas and get it ready for next time, much more useful than a standard generator!

Easy setup and operation – hope I never "need" it!

I picked this up to backup my house when the power goes out and will be wiring it directly into my break box (appropriately). The setup was easy and I like the towing handle and wheels. Firing up the propane in the cold was somewhat problematic but I think it might've also just been first-time firing issues. All good in today's tests in more temperate weather.
