Easy to use!

I bought this a month ago and so happy I did. I live in Houston Texas and I need to be prepared if it's easy for me and my son to start it up to make sure that it would fire up and it has A drain to empty excess gas and it works on the propane too. It started up really nice and I like the wheels. It's just peace of mind Knowing that I can put my refrigerator, a fan, television or my phones or whatever!

Very pleased

After my purchase it only took ten minutes to add the feet, wheels and add the oil. I added some gasoline and connected the propane tank. Following the start up instructions I was quite surprised to see it start on the very first pull of the starter rope.

Good Dependable Power in a Small Package!

After having looked at many different generators in this size class, I finally opted for the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv. I bought it to replace my old generator for Hurricane Idalia, and I have to say that I was pleasantly impressed with this unit! It started right up in both modes, Gas and Propane; and it also switched over seamlessly from gas to propane. For the price to feature comparison, I couldn’t be happier.

Helpful After Hurricane Helene

My fiancee and I bought this generator before hurricane season in 2023 but luckily didn't need it until Hurricane Helene hit Florida in 2024. Was able to power our RV and run an extension cord to our neighbors house to keep their refrigerator running. Definity one of the smartest purchases I've ever made!

Westinghouse W GEN 5300 DFV

We received this recently and LOVE IT! It’s way quieter than our previous one and more powerful! Super easy to start, plus the option for gas or propane will help us a lot no matter where we camp. Recently we lost power at home.., never will we have to decide what we’ll have running.., YEAH!! Thank you for making a reliable machine!

Exactly as advertised

Easy to put the wheel kit on. Fired up in just a couple of pulls using Propane. Will use it for limited whole house emergency backup. Sound level much less than all the leaf blowers in my neighborhood. At 50' cannot even hear it inside. Wish it was tri-fuel as I have LNG at the house.

Great Features

I bought this during hurricane 🌀 Beryl and it's kept my fridge and deep freezer going. While running fans with no power for a week with no problems. Easy set up and start up. Like the features of when to change the oil with the blinking indicator.

Easy quick Setup, easy to use

Bought this the other day after doing plenty of research, for the price it is a very good product from what I see so far ran two large refrigerators and a freezer on it for several hours and did not seem to pull much of a load . Like the option to run on propane or gasoline. Wish it was a bit quieter but it will do the job.

Great Value

This generator is large enough to power my travel trailer and not have any worries about what all can run at the same time. Also, with the dual fuel option, I can run it off the propane tanks on my travel trailer if I ever forget or run out of gas. With the handle and wheels, moving the generator isn't too much of a hassle.

Well Thought out

This is probably the most well-thought-out generator I've bought. The packaging is great and lets you unwrap it without killing yourself or damaging the product. The unit itself is very well made and sturdy. The little assembly required is quick and easy. They provide an oil fill funnel that screws onto the filler port, it keeps you from making a mess. The oil they provide with the generator is just enough, you pour all of it in. Instructions for starting it in LP or Gas mode are right on top of the frame, they are easy to follow and it started right up. It runs well, and my load tests proved it has the capacity I need in a very compact size. I needed a generator that furnished 240v for my transfer switch. This generator has a twist lock plug for the 240v hook up to my house, plus plugs to run a camper and 20 amp 120-volt receptacles. The size, wheels, and handle for moving it are great, it fits in the shop under the workbench easily. There are a lot of little things that show attention to detail in the design and use of this generator at a great price.
