Easy to use, dual fuel is great!

I bought this in 2020. There was a recall initially but the company took care of everything and ended up sending me a brand new unit. This unit is incredible. Use gas or LP and the ease of switching between sources is a major plus. The unit is quiet (for a generator) and gives enough power for whatever you need. Great purchase!

Great Generator

I bought this generator for the dual fuel feature and portability. It was very easy to assemble and I was very happy that it was a very easy generator to operate. The instruction manual is very good. I hooked a propane bottle up and on the first pull it started. I let it run for 5 minutes and put an electrical load on the generator and it worked as advertise. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Easy to set up & use

Purchased this item after 3 power outages in less than 3 years, each lasting 24hrs+. Delivered within 10 days of purchase. Installed feet and wheels, added oil that was provided and gas. Started right up, no issues. Does seem a bit noisy- but previously we owned a quiet run 2000w. When power is out, a loud generator is least of my worries. Plugged in several items and ran great without bogging down. Dual fuel feature seems like a nice backup plan in case we run out of gasoline, but have not used this feature yet. Overall great product.

OK Generator

I did get it started, but after about 5 minutes it just shut off. Started it again and after a few minutes it shut off again. I live in high altitude so I purchased the recommended high altitude kit and hopefully it will run better after installing the kit.

Very easy to use. Perfect for what we needed it fo

We had a power outage in Texas. It is summer and we had no electricity meaning no air conditioner. I bought this product and plugged it into my refrigerator, freezer, 2 fans and small electronics and ran it for 1 1/2 days feeling it up twice. It served us perfectly. I accidently put in the wrong serial number it is actually 53c12211334578

Johnny on the Spot!

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.

WGEN5300DFV

This is the first generator I have ever owned, it's really easy to use and the ability to us gas or propane is a game changer. The main purpose for the purchase of this generator was to power the house in a power outage, but now I have other ideas for it.

Great Features on this Duel Fuel Generator!

Couldn't be happier with my purchase of this Westinghouse generator! I love the duel fuel option, gas or propane, that gives me the ability to run the generator on different fuel sources depending on the situation. Looked around at other brands but came back to Westinghouse for their price point and known reliability.

GOOD PRODUCT

I had a couple of minor issues: 1) One of the clips holding the air filter cover in place was broken, probably during shipping. 2) Someone had apparently the oil plug/dipstick and then tried to force it back (it's just soft plastic) and stripped the thread on the plug. It still works, but oil had leaked out in the box.

Works great

Bought this generator yesterday. Put oil in it, hooked it up to propane and it started right up. Ran the break in period yesterday, hooked it up to my RV today. Had enough power to run both my AC and microwave. Very pleased and cannot wait to have it on my hunting trip next month.
