Easy to use

I bought this generator for a backup supply of electricity. With the storms we are having this year 2023. I feel it was a wise thing to be prepared for any events that may occur. The package came earlier than promised. and putting the wheels and legs on the generator was very easy. I filled it with oil and put gas in it and a half a pull on the cord and started right up. If you are looking for a temporary power to your home in a emergency this will work for you.

generator 5300DFv

Purchased yesterday,. First thing I noticed was that wheels are not ball bearing supported like shown in the review I read before purchasing. Also air filter was pinched in the cover and needed rotating in order to seal properly. Will start it up tomorrow and run for a month and report back with another review then

Easy assembly and perfect features for my needs.

My generator arrived earlier than the expected due date which was a plus for me. it was easy to assemble and maneuver around the garage. love the dimensions as it doesn't take up much space. After adding oil and gas it started on the first pull. very happy with it and it operates great.

Sturdy and practical

We bought this with emergency in mind. We live in an area prone to hurricanes and we thought we might get prepared this year. We hope not to use it but very relieved we have it. Although first time buyers (us included) need to run it BEFORE you truly need it, so take time to prep your generator. So take time to know your model.

Was very easy to set the machine up!

This is my 1st generator. There were a lot of brands to choose from. We finally picked the Westinghouse generator. It was easy to add the oil and gas. It is easy to crank up and run. We ran it during hurricane Milton with no problems and feel comfortable we picked the right generator.

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.

Excellent Value

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.

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.

Great product

I bought a dual fuel generator a couple of weeks ago and I am glad that I did it. Very easy to assemble. Starts right up. The handle and wheels are very helpful. I had a chance to use it during our camping and I was impressed. It's less loud than my old generator!
