Appears to be well put together

Just bought this for backing up some of the house appliances. Never know what weather or “other” situation may come up and would as least like keep what I got refrigerated or frozen…refrigerated and frozen. It appears to be well put together but will confirm operation soon. It had some of the best reviews for the price point around.

Nice Generator

Purchased the Westinghouse WGen5300DFcv generator in July 2024 to be prepared for the next storm that hits Texas. This generator was easy to assemble and looks amazing. Got it up and running - pretty lightweight and purrs like a well-oiled machine. Settled on this one after quite a bit of research. Chose it because of dual fuel capability, running watts, selection of voltage output, and other features including the CO Sensor monitors. This machine should run the necessary appliances during the next power outages. Great features and a great price, too!

Great Generator for the price

Works great on my camper and for emergencies. Runs quite awhile on 1 tank of premium gas and the propane feature as backup is nice. I like the multiple plug options and voltage settings. I only wish it was a bit quieter but compared to some more expensive models it beats them.

So far so good

Very easy and simple installation. I just had to put on the wheels and the rubber feet. I added the oil, which was included, filled it with gas and it started on the first pull. It ran smoothly and was quieter than I had anticipated. Tested the power on all of the outlets and they all seem to work properly. Have not had to use it yet, guess I’m lucky I have not lost power in a while. But I will be ready. I scanned the QR code with my phone, filled out the registration online and they sent me a free cover for the generator.

Generator won’t start!!

Just received my brand new dual fuel generator. Installed the tires, added the oil and connected up a 20lb propane tank. Could not get it started using the pull start. Took off the air filter cover and sprayed a little starting fluid and it fired right up with the choke fully on. Let it run a few minutes and switched the choke to the off position and it immediately died. Put the choke back on and tried starting it again…no luck…i called tech support and opened a ticket. Hopefully they will call me monday. In the meantime i will get some gas and try starting it again. Hopefully once we get the bugs worked out i can give it a higher rating.

Excellent value great quality

I bought this unit because I trusted the brand : Westinghouse. When I received it my trust was confirmed. This unit is extremely well designed and assembled. A plus is the included tool kit , oil and special spout for the oil fill. All you need is fuel to run this unit. It is a customer friendly unit.

Needed for Another Power Outage

This was a dual Fuel, tried a new propane tank i had for my grill. Only last 8 Hours and 15 minutes. After that i switched to gas, was getting close to 14 hours on one fill up. Not sure if this one can do it, i've not found any instructions, but would be nice if i could adjust the output voltage. A bit louder than the one i've used in the past, but would recommend, for its ease of use.

Powerful Portable Generator

I bought this generator after having an off-brand gen for 5 years. The 5300 with a peak watt 6500 is able to 5x15 and 1x30 sub panel breaker box with ease. I have had to use it twice in the past month, once for 5 days and then for ~36 hours due to storms in the Midwest. I am able to run basics like computers, televisions, furnace 2 refrigerators, deep freezer....as well as major wattage items like coffee maker, microwave, washer and dryer at same time. Past generators have tripped fuses if we dared trying to use 2 major appliance at same time.I haven't tried propane yet, but 4.7gal gas tank runs ~8 hours

Great generator

Recently moved to Houston, unfortunately Hurricane beryl left us without power for 5 days. This generator did amazing and lasted for 15 hours on 1 full tank of gas. During the hurricane everyone was using gas but we decided to use propane and it worked wonders.
