Excellent generator

I love the dual fuel option. Will explore adding a connection to home propane tank for larger supply availability. Sure beats relying on gas when the power is out and gas pumps are down. Also appreciate that it has metal shrouds vs the plastic on some of the others I looked at.

Surprisingly Quiet

Bought this generator to stay hurricane prepared and have been impressed ever since the first pull, which started it right away. This generator is surprisingly quiet and runs great on propane or gas. Currently have it hooked up to two large chest freezers without any issues. 10/10 would recommend!

Very convenient

I bought this dual fuel generator to replace an old gas gen that is far too heavy for me to lift into my truck to take to get repaired. Figured was better to just buy a new one than (never) get the old repaired. Love that it is dual fuel, just wish this model had a remote electric start. I also purchased a commercial grade 4-outlet extension cord that connects to the 240v output, since it’s really two 120v, that way I can put a high draw appliance or tool on each of the two 120v legs.

Easy to assemble and store

Opened my generator today and it took about 15ish minutes assemble the few parts it had. It came with the majority put together and in good shape. It is heavy but with the wheels and handle, it is easy to transport and move around. We also have some built shelving and it fits well under the last row of shelving, on the ground.

Easy set up, powerful

I bought this last year in case of power outages. I am so glad i did. It was affordable, lightweight and easy to use. My power went out last night and within an hour of opening up the box we had it up and running to serve my refgrigerator, lights, fans, etc.

Love the dual fuel option!

Fired up on the second pull for the no load break in period. You just can't beat the dual fuel option. This is a nice generator. Bought a few weeks ago and had a 3 hour power outrage. Man I was excited, this generator worked flawlessly under the load. Great deal. I love it!

Best generator I've owned !!

I already owned a Honda generator, but Westinghouse had a price I couldn't walk away from plus it had a bigger power output as well as running on propane and gasoline. Since unboxing it and following the instructions for starting it for the first time I've been truly impressed. It's easy to start and actually blows my Honda Generator away. I have owned many Westinghouse products over the years and have been a satisfied buyer in all cases. I have a hard time expressing exactly how impressed I am with my new Wgen5300DFV generator, but I have no doubt it will continue to meet or exceed my needs in the future.

Exactly what I needed

I was looking for a moderately priced dual fuel generator that I could hook up to our house electrical system. I needed a 4 wire 240 volt. This one is perfect! Easy assembly of wheels and rubber feet. Hooked up a propane tank and it started right up (after filling it with oil of course!). Not very loud either. All I need now is a power outage!

Great Price and good features

This is a must in Southern California where the power utilities like to cut power at the slightest breeze. Much easier for them than fixing their equipment. This gives us enough power for our essentials and keeps us from losing our food in extended outages. Love the dual fuel!

Awesome so far!

We bought this in preparation for another winter power outage in Texas. We bought this for the dual fuel feature combined with the nice specs. While testing, we were able to run all of our lights (LED), both gas heaters in our 3000 sqft house, all 7 ceiling fans, both refrigerators, all of our TV's and game systems, both pool pumps AND charge our electric car at 3 miles per hour. We did this all on using propane and we had around 500 watts left till maximum running rating for propane. The generator worked well for heavy testing and we are feeling prepared in case ERCOT has any issues during winter this year.
