Great Features and Easy To Read Panels

After multiple power outages, we needed a generator to power our essential appliances and smaller gadgets. This model covered those items with ease! Love the multiple outlet options, easy to read panel, and it came with wheels. It was a great investment for the family!

Surprisingly Quiet

Bought this generator to stay hurricane prepared and have been impressed ever since the first pull, which started it right away. This generator is surprisingly quiet and runs great on propane or gas. Currently have it hooked up to two large chest freezers without any issues. 10/10 would recommend!

Great Portable Generator

Great features and great pricing! Excels all of its potentials. Love the fact that it uses two different fuel types. Generator is easy to operate. Very happy with our purchase. Note: If using in high altitude 5000 ft and above, you will need a carburetor kit and DF regulator. Parts numbers are located in the manual. We are at an altitude of 6700 ft.

WGen5300DFcv GENERATOR

It was a blessing for this Generator. My power keeps going out during storms. Now my husband is on a CPAP Machine. We donate to worry about him can't breath again. Thank you, so much, Westinghouse for giving my. Husband back his breath. He's homebound now, we don't have go back to the hospital. God bless you.

Best Price on the Market

Have not had a power outage yet but have tested it and it worked my fine. My only issue the unit would not start on propane only.... The issue which I found in troubleshooting, not in the starting instructions, states you need to burn off the gas in the fuel line before switching over to propane, this addressed the issue and the generator started up on propane.

Easy Set Up Multiple Options

Purchased this generator due to multiple power outages. Unit was easy to setup and had this unit running in about 30 minutes. I chose the gasoline options, but this unit provides for both gasoline and propane. Sufficient power to run multiple units including freezer, refrigerator and most importantly my CPAP unit. Very pleased with this purchase.

Impressive right out of the box

So far so good. Just bought it and have taken it out to give a once-over (nice and sturdy with great craftsmanship). Hooking up the propane take to test it out in the next couple of days. However, I can tell you it far outshines its competitors (and my neighbors) on price alone.

Awesome generator!

I bought this generator about 2 weeks ago just in time before Hurricane hit and was DEFINITELY worth it and such a life saver!! Instructions were super easy to follow on how to turn on. Also came with maintenance guidelines which was super helpful in making sure keep it running. I know wattage number seems low but it kept my fridge, window ac unit, tv, outlets and stove running! Once we were all done was easy to put away.

Easy setup

We purchased this generator to upgrade to a larger generator than our current 3.5KW before hurricane season peaked. It was very easy to setup out of the box and cranked on the second pull. We haven't had the need to run it for any extended time yet but confident it will do a good job
