WGen5300DFcv

Recently bought this item for running my camper along with my home when the power is down. Item comes very well packaged and super simple to setup and get running. I know others that had this exact model and have put many hours on the generator with zero issues.

So Far, So Good!

We did extensive research to decide which generator would be the best fit for us. Please understand we have not had to use the generator as a substitute for power yet. With that in mind, we purchased this for the most bang for our buck and agree with other reviewers to check for damage as ours arrived damaged from shipping…it could be a combination of manufacturer needing to improve the packing (since it’s a known issue) and the shipping companies handling them better. Looking forward to actually seeing how well it does for what it’s made to do!

Haven't used it yet but we'll see...

We just purchased the 5300DFcv portable generator today so we haven't had a chance to use it yet. We purchased based on previous positive experiences with Westinghouse products as well as customer reviews. We'll do a test run tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well!

Excellent Product

This is our first generator and it has worked flawlessly. We have used it on quite a few camping trips with our toy hauler in weather ranging from 60 degrees to 115 degrees. It works great in all conditions and is very easy to use and maintain. Highly recommended product, you will not be disappointed.

Best Generator ever purchased

I purchased this generator for use when my family and friends get together for parties. I have a commercial snow-cone maker, popcorn popper and cotton candy maker so this generator is very convenient. It’s very portable. But what I love most is that it’s has the dual power. I can use regular gasoline or propane. This was one of the reasons I purchased it. So glad I decided on this one and if you’re looking for a great generator, I say don’t hesitate you won’t regret it!

Will be using this for our RV....To Early to tell

Just bought this; breaking it in per the instructions. I will tell you this. IF you are switched on the 240 volt, YOU CAN NOT use the receptacle. It's either the twistlock or nothing. Wish I new that before. This is not like other generators. I'm not recommending this til I use it. Nothing personal.

5 out of 5 stars review

Functions As Designed

I bought this generator, in part, for all the glowing reviews people posted. I'm happy to add to this chorus of positive feedback because in an era of very disappointing products, this is a really nice piece of equipment that functions as advertised. Less than an hour to set up and (at least on propane mode) started after a few pulls. IDK about gasoline option... I've only used the propane mode and it was able to back-feed a panel in an emergency.

Excellent Customer Service

The first generator I received had been damaged in transit. It must have been dropped as the frame was bent, which made the wheels rub the frame when installed. I was concerned there might be hidden motor damage as well, so I requested a replacement. This was completed and a replacement generator received within 10 days. The replacement is fine. I will begin the break In process this weekend. I noted a previous review that changed the oil multiple times until it was clean (no metal shavings) so I will do that. I also purchased gas stabilizer to extend the life of the gas in the generator and the gas tank up to two years.

Peace of mind!

We just went through hurricane Ida last week, and a week without power was pretty miserable. This was one of our first purchases as soon as we were able to leave our home. Westinghouse is a well-regarded brand, and the dual fuel capacity is very important to us. Not looking forward to going through another hurricane like this one, but having this generator gives us a little more peace of mind.

Great Emergency Backup Generator

I bought this generator so that I could have the flexibility of gasoline or propane to recharge my DIY home battery bank. Everything works as expected. Once I figured out the instructions the generator started easily on propane with just a couple of pulls. Ran my battery chargers just fine.
