I bought the generator to prepare for the winter derecho of 2021 here in Iowa. The derecho didn't knock out our power so the generator stayed in the box for several more months. When I removed it from the box the assembly was very easy and after following the instructions for oil and fuel, it started on the 3rd pull of thr starter rope. I am very satisfied with the unit.

Overall, the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv Dual Fuel Portable Generator is a powerful, versatile, and reliable option for both home and recreational use. The dual-fuel capability, electric start, and ample power output make it an excellent investment for those seeking peace of mind during power outages or planning off-grid adventures. The minor drawbacks don't outweigh the significant benefits this generator offers. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a dependable and flexible power source.

I purchased a WGEN5300DFcv portable generator a few days ago and I've been very impressed with it so far. After the initial setup, it started easily and ran flawlessly for a few minutes. My initial test was using gasoline. I'll try the propane sometime but I need to purchase a propane tank first. I'm impressed with the quality and now I'll be ready the next time we lose power. I also plan to use it when I used corded power tools on the areas of my property that are too far for a cord to reach. Great product!

The box it arrived in was a little beat up, but generator was packed well enough. It is heavy, but I was able to put on wheels and feet without an issue by myself. Once the wheels are on, it was easy to haul around. I like that it operates off propane and came with a wrench, a funnel, and oil. I haven't used it yet, but will do a test soon. I live in Florida, and this will come in handy as backup power.

I purchased the WGen3600DFcv generator last week and it arrived two days ahead of the originally scheduled arrival date. Filled the oil, added gas and it started easily on the second pull. Next, I tested the propane and it started on the second pull as well. Thus far, I have run it for about 1 hour to help seat the rings and break it in. When time allows, I will run it more to continue the break-in process before using it camping. Based on the 1 hour of run time, I'm happy with the purchase. I ordered it without the wheel kit only to realize it is heavier than I anticipated. Therefore, I ordered the wheel kit which I highly recommend. The generator seems to be of good quality for the price.

I'm not sure how well it will work in a long run. But it starts and seems to run fairly quiet. I guess we'll see once it gets some use. It always seems ridiculous to ask for a review as soon as you buy something. I have no real idea how it will work. I bought this in case I lose power but that has not happened yet, so maybe I will revisit this next year.

Used this today because of power outage. Was able to power a refrigerator, small freezer and two large fans. I was not happy about noise level which I tried to determine before the purchase. I examined the original box and could not find the rated decibel level. I searched Google which went to Sam’s club but still no decibel levels disclosed. Love the features but not the noise level. Is there an attachment for sound reduction? Please advise.

When Hurricane Beryl hit, we were without power for over 5 days. This generator was our saving grace. Not only did it give us countless hours of power, it was so easy to get it started! Not to mention that gas was scarce so it's ability to use propane WORKED LIKE A CHARM. I definitely recommend this product to everybody.

I bought this in 2020. There was a recall initially but the company took care of everything and ended up sending me a brand new unit. This unit is incredible. Use gas or LP and the ease of switching between sources is a major plus. The unit is quiet (for a generator) and gives enough power for whatever you need. Great purchase!

Just purchased generator for emergency power at home. Want to run on propane so we don't have gasoline stored in the shed. We use propane for other devices but not gasoline. I put oil in the generator and it started up on the 4th pull. It's a little loud, but powered tools that I plugged into it nicely. A good buy.
