great value generator

We bought this generator after much research. And are very pleased with the price and how easy it was for us to locate it on line and be able to check stock and then purchase it before a big storm was due to hit. Also the wheels make it very easy to move it around to were you need it. And we like that you can use gas or propane.

Best Home Investment

I bought this generator to keep my home ready to go with any electrical outage. I am happy I made the investment. It was easy to learn how to use. I showed my entire family how to use in my absence. This can be ran by a teenager with ease. Great product.

nice!

After our electricity went out last winter for several days I decided to buy this generator for my home. It is summer now and I feel that we will be having power outages again and this time I am prepared. I chose this generator because it had excellent reviews and I now can say that I have tested it out for my home and it is very easy to use. It is not as noisy as others and easy to hook up to propane but the other option is using gasoline which is great too. It has plenty of outlets to connect plenty of appliances if needed. It also is easy to move around . The instructions are easy to follow.

Start up went well.

Upon opening the box and start up, everything works as advertised. I added the engine oil and hooked the generator up to a propane source. It started on the fourth pull. I had the unit powering my entire house through a recently installed generator inlet within about 15 minutes. The longevity of the unit is TBD but so far so good.

Carbon foul spark plug

Ran the generator for during hurricane beryl. After about 48 hours the generator did not start, removed the lg spark plug the original plug and cleaned it and reinstalled and it started. Ran the generator another 8 hours, it failed to start. Replaced the spark plug with an ngk plug and changed the oil with 10-30 synethic oil and it started for another 60 hours. After power was restored i removed the ngk plug and it was carbon fouled. I’m afraid that engine is not burning the fuel properly

Great Features for that small generator

I bought this for emergency use. Our water well pump requires 240v and this generator is a good deal. I can run water pump, central air/heater, a refrigerator, freezer, tv and desktop at the same time. One thing I like most about it is that I can connect the L14-30R outlet directly to my breaker which I can use both 120V and 240V simultaneously. Easy start. Love the already built in feature to allow me run either on gas or propane.

Types of Plug Ins on the Generator could be better

I bought this to run my freezer and refrigerator after a tornado took our power. Under normal circumstances, I might have found one with more 3 prong 110 volt outlets, but was under the gun. Other than that, directions were great, had it up and running in 20-30 minutes, and it did what I asked

Great Generator

I bought the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv generator for my 30ft RV camper. I love the Gas/Propane Duel fuel option it has. The generator works perfectly as hoped. Direct 30Amp TT plug, no need for any adapter. Plug it in start it up and roll on. Again, works great. Highly recommend this model.

Well laid out control panel and other controls

I purchased this generator after my previous generator was destroyed during Hurricane Ian. It was easy to assemble the wheels and foot-rests and after that it was simply a matter of adding oil and fuel. Starting the unit required only two pulls and it fired right up. I liked the layout of the controls making it easy to set it up to power household items during power blackouts.

Great Buy

Bought this for our home power outages and it started right up and ran perfectly. Tested it out on all our home appliances and it worked great. Easy to use and set up. Love the propane option and not very loud at all. Very happy with this generator and recommend it to others.
