Good generator at a good price. Easy to start and reliable. Surprisingly easy to switch between gas and LP. Only a few complaints, the one foot was bent straights from the box (see pictures) so it could not be attached correctly. The plastic plug for the oil, is difficult to screw in if not aligned perfectly and the metal you screw it in to can easily chew up the plastic threads.

This generator is built with quality in mind! You can tell Westinghouse is a quality dependable brand. I love the dual fuel feature and starting this up was a breeze. It’s Al’s really nice that oil and a funnel with threads at the end are provided too, very cool!

Purchased about 2 months ago & have only used it 1 time, so my review is somewhat limited. Assembly was smooth except one hole for the wheel axle wasn't large enough. Had to drill it out slightly to fit. Runs smooth & am comforted knowing it will run on dual fuel. Like the number of options it has for outlets. I have purchased brand new gas powered items before & knew to add the engine oil before starting it, but felt like the assembly instructions SHOULD HAVE more clearly mentioned this for novice buyers. Also, instead of having to read through all 28 pages of the manual, include a "Quick Start" guide.

The generator arrived quickly and appears to be very well made. I cannot speak to the long term quality as I have only ran it for one hour for the initial break in. I like that it actually comes with a wheel kit and oil. I noticed that similar generators did in this price range did not come with wheel kits. The manual is easy to understand and thorough. based on other reviews and what I’ve seen so far, I would recommend this generator to others.

Was looking for a mid-sized generator for emergency power outage situations. This duel fuel generator fit the bill. It seemed to have excellent features including decent power generation and adequate run times. The generator is easy to unpack and assemble out of the box. In less than 20 minutes I had the generator assembled, started and operating. Only ran it for a few minutes to make sure it worked. Based on that first test I give it a 4-star rating. A problem I found in my initial set up is related to adding oil to the engine. The small funnel provided for adding oil to the engine is not long enough to curve upward and has a reservoir that is just too small (see photos). It's almost impossible to add oil without making a mess all over the ground/floor. Also, the plastic threads on the funnel and dipstick/oil plug could be easily stripped so care needs to be taken when screwing them in. It probably is a little loud compared to some generators. Worth the price in mind though.

I bought this as a back up power in case the house loses electricity. Solid build, easy to start and easy to set up. The only thing I will complain about is that when delivered it was placed on its side and the bottle of oil was crushed. Oil was all over the parts and leaked onto my sidewalk. Better directions on box or shipping method of oil would be nice.

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.

I purchased this generator about 8 months ago. It operates as advertised, and helped us manage power needs through three separate power outages. Powers our fridge, wifi, etc. without issue. The dual fuel option is a plus. Changing the oil is a pain but that's the norm with these small engine units.

We ordered our generator on the 23rd of June this year and received it on the 28th. On July 5th it was called into service; We hadn't even put the oil in it! But we got it set up, got the extension cords out, and it worked like a champ for the full 4 hours that we needed it. We have a 5300, which is adequate for my wife and I to keep the fridge, TV, wi-fi router, and a few lamps going. If we need it in the morning, we can get the coffee maker plugged in as well.

I recently purchased this generator and am very happy with it. The build quality is good. I put in the oil and some fuel and it started on the first pull. It is easy to use. I bought for emergency use and it should be capable to running all the appliances in my house. I was concerned it might get beat up in shipping based on other reviews, but fedex delivered it in good shape. My only complaint (which is minor) - the oil drain plug is located directly over the lower support of the frame. Oil changes could be messy as there is not enough room to fit a pan between the plug and frame and oil will drain directly on the frame.
