Works Great but have one concern

The Generator works great the only problem is the pictures show bearings in the wheel mine came with no mearing the wheels wobble back and forth. called support they said it dose not come with bearings even though all the pictures for this model show it with bearings. Even the wheel kit you can buy show the unit with bearings. little thing saying the generator works as described.

Cool little power plant

I’ve owned several generators in my life, big and small, read the reviews about this one, decided to give it a try, I’m very happy with my purchase, it’s not too big and heavy, but it’s all there, quality parts, best of all I like the ability to use it on LP Gas or regular gas, it’s extremely quite, and will serve my needs for years to come I may buy couple more for my son and daughter, good thing to have, even if you don’t use it but once a quarter

I'm impressed!!

I had a friend tell me about seeing this deal at the sams club ..we had recently went to harbor freight and the one we chose was strong enough..so I returned it and went for this beauty, it has more accessories and comes with the wheels, predator has them so u can buy them apart..all in all I think Westinghouse is a better choice!!

Has All I Need

I have only started it and it is in the break in phase now. I normally review after I've used it for some time, but they want this reviewed at registration. It has the features I want at the right price: dual fuel, G14 plug, TT30 plug, fairly efficient engine, and has wheels!

Worked wonderfully!

I purchased this generator to supply power while replacing the service panel on my house. This required the electric company to disconnect power for this job as the house was built in the 70's and was not up to 2020 code (eg. No external cut-off to the main service panel). Of course we still needed electricity to perform work. It started up right away after addig the oil and gas. This generator performed wonderfully providing hours of power. Since we were only running a few things, fuel consumption was not high and we still had half a tank or more of fuel after probably 6 hours of service. The wheels are nice for moving it around. The only drawback is that the could be made longer so that your ankles don't continually hit the unit while pulling it. Otherwise, it is a great generator!!!

WGEN 5300DFV GENERATOR

This was the best thing we ever have done was to purchase this generator, it is great and is dual fuel. Just what you need for when the power goes out, as the summer heat and monsoon storms are always causing rolling blackouts and this will take care of keeping our freezers and refrigerator going and anything else we may need. it is not too big to move around by yourself either.

Second time is the charm

I bought one of these a few weeks ago. After two days of trying to get it to start I took it back. I thought I would try it one more time. The second one came in a box that was all torn up, but it seemed to be ok when I opened it. I put it together and pulled the rope. This time I got one that started. I hate the oil fill system and that it does not come with wheels and legs already mounted.

So far so good

Unit runs and has a nice selection of plugs. The process of filling the oil with the included funnel will make you feel like you’re on a hidden camera show. It’s absolutely horrible. Also, at this price point you should have an app giving you constant fuel and oil levels with alerts.

Nice System

Purchased this about a month ago and used it the same day it arrived due to a 19 hour power outage. Timing couldn't have been better. I use propane and decided to use the pull start the first time. It started on the second pull. Very nice unit and decent price. Haven't tried the remote yet.
