Great generator P C

purchased this generator at my local club they had it in a great display area where it got my attention. the fact that it was dual fuel is a great advantage when R VING. the fuel being propane of choice because of safety. just a great product because of the fact that they build very large motors and electric Transformers and many others. The name WESTINGHOUSE IS WELL KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY AND ALL OVER THE WORLD

Great Generator fur 500

I got this the Generator because I live in an area that has that experiences safety power shut offs due to fire danger. It's a pull cord, that starts on an easy pull first time. The included screw in Oil funnel isn't that long. Just use an additional funnel to place into the see in one. I ran the fridge off one outlet and a 50' Reel power block to charge phones and run a lamp. Conduction is very sturdy.

Great product - been working like a champ

Good machine and I'm happy with how it performs. Keeps two fans and a 5000k window unit running. Only used propane and was happy with the results. One issue that is somewhat irritating is cleaning the spark arrestor. The grill is too tight for a screwdriver to fit in the slot easily.

Works Great + Duel Fuel

I bought this for my father in law in case of power outages. Decided on this model because of Duel fuel. Uses same tanks as our grill. With propane you do not have to worry about leaving gas in it and having it go bad. But if you really need it you can use both and extend your time between refills, If gas is unavailable you can use propane. Most stores carry exchangeable tanks and it doesn't go bad like gas does..

Great Generator! Arrived fast!

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.

Great Price, Capable Generator

I recently purchased this generator. It was very easy to assemble the feet and wheels. The generator functions as advertised. It is very useful in a myriad of ways due to the dual fuel feature and power connection options. The only reason I haven't given it five stars, is because I haven't had the opportunity to use it multiple times.

Just what we needed

This is just what I was looking for in a generator. Easy to start and uses both gas or propane. Really puts out some power but isn’t too loud. Love that it’s not overly large. The older generator this is replacing didn’t put out this much power and was much heavier. So far very happy with my purchase. As a bonus they are sending me a cover for the generator for filling out the warranty info.

Great Value

I spent several weeks researching portable generators from different manufactures and for the price and the features I chose the Westinghouse WGEN5300, it has all the features I was looking for like the twin fuel options, and it was easy to put together and easy to move around.

Great multipurpose generator

I bought this because it is propane as well as gasoline . I will feel better about storing it because there is no gasoline to go bad and have to be cleaned out . The generator is quiet and runs well on propane but I can use gasoline if I have to . Win, Win .

Easy to operate.

The 5300 Dual Fuel generator is very user friendly with all controls being very easily identified as to what their function is, and operating instructions are very visible on the generator itself and easy to understand. The wheels are sturdy and of sufficient size to make moving the generator quite easy, and the folding handles allow the generator to occupy less storage space. I chose this generator with a pull-type starter so that I would not have to be concerned about keeping a battery charged on a generator with electric start. I follow the starting instructions and the generator has consistently started on the third pull, even when starting cold. I am pleased with my purchase.
