Sturdy and minimal assembly

I have not yet had the need to use this, but it seems very sturdy, Well assembled was well packed and undamaged. I am excited that the product uses propane as well as gasoline and I intend to try it out first with propane. I am looking forward to getting a cover for this so I can keep it in my garage dust free for emergencies.

Great for back up power.

I bought this Westinghouse generator 1 week ago because of a power outage. Very easy to assemble,was able to power up a portable ac unit, run my refrigerator hook a few lights and a couple of fans. Ran off of gasoline 1 tank lasted about 10 hours. I would highly recommend getting one for emergencies.

Nice, compact and well built

From my research this generator fit the bill for what I was looking for. I wanted one that ran off of LP as well as gas for the mere reason LP doesn't go bad like gas when sitting for long periods of time. I bought it to use in power outages which doesn't happen often but it does and when on the hunting property working on shooting houses.

WGen5300DFv Review

I just purchased this generator today. Was simple to assemble, Connected to propane tank after adding oil per the instructions. Started on the 2nd pull. Tested a couple of 120v electrical items. Working good. Was a bit louder than I thought it would be, but I guess that's expected with a generator. Looking forward to many years of operation.

Great Value!

Very nice generator with flexibility on electrical connections. Wheeled unit makes a big difference for mobility. Dual fuel is a great feature! Easy set up, used propane, started up after a few pulls (propane needed to get in carb), and ran like a dream. Broke in as recommended in the manual. Have not used in storm yet. Looking forward to it. Very Very happy with purchase. .

Great features our other one didn't have

I am happy that this generator will operate my well pump as well as our two refrigerators, lights and appliances. My old one would blow if we hooked up the well pump. Also it can be hooked up to our travel trailer which stays in our backyard. It even runs the air conditioner in there.

Excellent Insurance

I bought this two months ago and it started on the second pull. Performed the break-in run and it ran flawlessly. Now installing an interlock and inlet to power the house upon my next power outage. Most cost effective a generator I could find. My brother has had a Westinghouse generator for several years and he encouraged me to get this one. No more worries.

Portable Generator Dual Fuel 5300

Bought about a month ago and this was a replacement to the first one sent due to a gas line leak. Like the dual fuel option and that it came with the frame/wheel kit. Started right up once all set up. Hopeful this will serve the purpose for outages this winter. Also should be receiving free cover which will be nice too.

Generally Pleased

We expect this generator to serve our purposes well and chose it because of its fuel capabilities and good online reviews. Ours, however, did arrive with shipping damage; there is virtually nothing to protect the generator during shipment other than its own cage. Westinghouse did promptly mail out replacement parts, and our generator is in working order now. We think it will be powerful enough to provide occasional emergency power at our home and are now generally pleased with our purchase, as there seem to be a lot of features for the price.

Very easy to use and move!

Bought because of the gas and propane options. I left some fuel in the last generator I had and it messed it up. I plan to use the propane with this one and gas as a have too. Also like that the handle goes up and down without having to unlock. Easy to read displays. And easy to maneuver. Come on hurricane season! Hope to have for many years!
