Solid Generator With Nice Features

Nice generator. Simple to operate and I love the dual fuel feature so that I can be assured that it will always start when using propane. It’s a nice compact design and, unlike other generators I’ve had, you can get to the air filter easily on this one. The noise level is about what I expected and is on par with most portable generators of this size. The oil fill funnel is a nice added touch that will help prevent oil spills during oil changes down the road. I also appreciate the tires being solid so that flat tires aren’t an issue.

Very good features- Dual fuel

I have had this since Dec. 31, 2022. I have tried it about 8 times, using both gas and propane. It conveniently was able to change from one source to the other without shutting down. I had a slight problem with the choke position, I have learned were to put it. It seems fine so far.

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 for a great price!

I bought this generator after reviewing a bunch of them and am very happy I bought this one! Easy to understand instructions and started after about 4 pulls! Would have started after 1 pull probably if I’d a had the choke on! lol Powered up my refrigerator with no problem and ran a hedge trimmer and a corded drill to test it out and that was no problem at all! Gonna invest in a transfer switch and it’ll be all systems go!! Thanks for making a great product!

Great machine

Haven’t used this yet, but we bought it because we borrowed a Westinghouse 5300 just Haven’t used it yet, but we bought this machine because we borrowed a Westinghouse 5300 just like it to get us through a power failure and it worked really well. Ran two fridges, fans, TV & lights and still had power to spare. Easy to start and it ran 9 hours on a 20 lb. tank of propane . I highly recommend this machine.

good machine

Power went out the first month I owned the generator. I ran the unit on propane for 2.5 hrs. The unit was attached to the house through a transfer switch. The load included a 240v well pump, 2 gas boilers (hot water, hydronic heat w/circulation pumps), 2 refrigerators, lighting circuit and receptacle circuit. The generator worked well.

WGen5300DFv Generator Review

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.

Seems to work well.

Bought this generator recently so haven't had a chance to put it into practical use during an outage yet. Setup and assembly was easy, motor cranked easily with just a couple of pulls on both gasoline and propane fuel settings. Plugged light into generator to test power production. Ran generator for approximately 2 hours with no problems. Seems to work well and is easy to operate.

Great Product

I bought this generator to prepare for an incoming storm. Luckily we never lost power. The generator went together quick and easy. I fired it up on propane and let it run while I tested all the outlets. Everything is working great. This generator is not nearly as loud as others I have used.

Nice Looking Generator

I have not used this generator yet. I just opened the box and assembled the wheels and the feet. I noticed they have removed the wheel bearings from this design to save money. Shaft goes thru the plastic wheel now. Product arrived in good shape. No paint missing or no dented metal that I can see on inspection.
