I purchased this generator just days before and it already has proved itself invaluable. I am constructing both a house and a shop and will utilize this generator while we wait for the energy company to tie us into the grid. Once that is complete, I will kee0 this as an emergency backup. Great product so far.

Out of the box it was easy to assemble and started up right away. I ran the generator off and on for about 5 hours to break in. Now it will only run for about 30 to 40 minutes and shuts down. It starts again, but cycles up and down and then shuts off again in about 2 to 3 minutes. I have started the process of getting service to see what the problem is.

I am very pleased with this Generator. This is the 3rd generator I had to buy this week, (the other 2 were a different brand). After the oil that was included was added, I started up on the first try. I ran it without any load for the first hour to break it in. Put a load on it and works as advertised. Very pleased! I will be buying Westinghouse from now on!

Chose the WGen5300DFcv to replace my very unreliable Firman generator. I put way too much time and money trying to repair the Firman that had less than 10 hours of run time. After reading several reviews and articles, I went with the Westinghouse brand. I needed something I can rely on since we live in Hurricane alley. The WGen has been exactly what I need—reliable and easy to use. The dual fuel system is a plus. Don’t worry about spending the extra money for electric start. It starts easily on the second or third pull. Once started, maintains steady rpm no matter the load. Definitely recommend.

We ordered this generator after we were caught struggling for a week without power and May and another week without power in July. Won’t catch us again! We ordered and received our generator quickly, broke it in, and now we are prepared for the future! Good price, easy to break in, and easy navigation.

I bought this unit because I trusted the brand : Westinghouse. When I received it my trust was confirmed. This unit is extremely well designed and assembled. A plus is the included tool kit , oil and special spout for the oil fill. All you need is fuel to run this unit. It is a customer friendly unit.

I bought it when my area was threatened with a hurricane. Chose to be ready. Although storm shifted I was ready. This thing is heavy. Was easy to install tires and the attached handle made it easy to move. Oil filler spout could have been longer. I attempted to start the generator on propane at first. It started, sputtered and backfired several times. I then put gasoline and the generator started right up. After it was warm, I switched back over to propane and it worked fine. Don’t know why it didn’t initially start with propane.

I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but the setup is so easy and user-friendly, I'm actually excited to lose power and try it out! Being able to switch between propane and gasoline is such a clever idea. Only wish it had an electric start in conjunction with the pull-start.

I live in Southern Louisiana. We bought this in March in anticipation of the 2021 hurricane season. We were without power after Hurricane Ida for nearly a week and the generator worked like a charm. We were able to run our fridge/freezer and phone chargers for small periods of time to keep things charged and cold. I also appreciate the fact it can run on propane as well as we learned it was tricky to keep it running because of the gas shortage due to the hurricane.

Love the fact that it is both duel fuel and transfer switch ready. Great features such as digital display. It's obviously not as nearly quiet or fuel economic as an inverter but I bought this as a cheap way to power multiple large household devices. If powering sensitive electronic devices get an inverter or at least a UPS since this thing has a much higher distortion level than those. Overall it starts right up and just works! Best bang for the buck. Pleased with purchase.
