We purchased this generator to power our refrigerator and some small fans during hurricane season or inclement weather. Although we have not needed to actually use the generator yet, it was easy to set up, the instructions are easy to understand, and the size is small which is good for storage in our garage. The generator can be used with either fuel or propane which makes this ideal for people living in areas that are affected by weather based supply shortages.

I bought this as a backup for the freezer. My wife & I liked the duel fuel as we have other propane appliances. I had it running in 20 min. including assembly. It comes with oil, a propane hose and tools to assemble. I don't have gas so I started it with propane. Two pulls and it fired right up. If the Total Harmonic Distortion was lower I would have given 5 stars. However electronics is not the main concern.

Dual fuel, like the propane power feature. After hooking up propane, you need to pull the cord about a half dozen times to feed the propane and then it starts right up. Seems to be a solid unit. I am in a historically risky hurricane area so I did research for a good generator with positive reviews before purchasing.

I live in Tampa, Florida where hurricanes, tropical storms and power outages are a part of life. So is heat, humidity and the need for AC or some type of cooling during the summer months. The Westinghouse WGen45300DFcv is the first generator I have owned and I am impressed with the overall quality of the unit as well as the ease of setup. I found the instructions to be clearly written and easy to follow. While the unit is moderately heavy, once the feet and wheels are attached it was not difficult to roll into the backyard where I will be running it during emergencies. Note: recommend setting this up right away; don't wait until the power is out during a storm in the middle of the night. Also, ensure you use a high quality, low gauge extension cord(s) with any generator. Cheap cords are dangerous and can potentially cause a fire in your house. I highly recommend this unit and will update my review at a later date if I can.

Like most jere, went shopping after storms took power out for most of the day. Found this at a very decent price. The two fuel types is an added plus. Running the initial hour to get it settled i and shouldn’t have to worry about those outages again. Also talked 3 others into purchasing while there just by explaining some of the features.

Bought this for the inevitable power outage that gets us when least expected. Now that I have this generator at the ready, there has been no power outage in my area....but I am ready for when there is. After filling the oil,, it starts and runs easy enough, but that is all I have done so far.

Bought this generator a year ago in preparation for the next major storm. Generator sat in its box in the shed for a year until Hurricane Helene hit us the other day. Broke out the generator, added the oil that came with it, hooked up the propane, and it fired right up with no issues whatsoever. My WGen5300DFv worked straight out of the box after sitting for a year. I am happy to say I am truly blessed at the performance and power of this model. I was running 2 floor fans, light, 2 refrigerators, and my deep freezer with ZERO ISSUES or Concerns. THANK YOU Westinghouse for an outstanding product. You bailed me out when needed and as I stated before I am truly thankful.

I bought this generator to replace another generator I had that wasn't working properly when trying to start it up, but this new generator is excellent when it comes to quickly starting every time and keeps a reliable course of power throughout the working time.

Just received and tried with propane first...didn't run well and found out not to open propane with full on..ran better. Runs very well on gasoline. Only drawback is not electric start but maybe can't with the propane?? Time will tell this hurricane season which is almost here.

Just unpacked the gen and set it up. No issues there, very straight forward instructions. The generator started right away. I purchased this for emergencies and I hope I don't need to use for that purposes only. I do have other uses for it. The oil fill method could be improved, it already has an attachment but it could be a little longer to be able to use it in a 90 degree angle. Another thing that needs improvement is the packaging, there are dents in the tubular frame but it is not affecting performance, all other components look fine.
