I bought this generator before a hurricane and used it for about 10 hours while our power was out. Easy to setup and start. Only ran refrigerator, television and a few lights so I can’t really comment on how it works under heavy load. Used about 3/4 of a 20lb lp gas tank

Got this thinking that I wouldn’t be able to power by 2 furnace, full size French door fridge and 2 salt water tanks. Worked like a dream. Was looking for a reliable generator when I had gone without power recently for 2 1/2 days. Hopefully this would start right up when I am in need.

The weatherman assured us that ice was not going to be our friend this weekend. We have debated for years about the need for a portable generator and decided it was time to stop flirting with danger (since we have 2 full deep freezers). Out of the box there was very little assembly. We decided to try both fuels. It started right up with our portable propane tank which was very encouraging. Several folks have told us that duel fuel is the way to go. Next we put in just a bit of premium gasoline. Again, it fired right up and we just let it run until it was empty. I don't know what the weekend may bring---but this generator is easy to operate and gives us the confidence we've been lacking in winter readiness! We have no reason to think that this generator is anything but amazing!

I bought this nice looking easy to store generator one month ago.Servicing was simple and easy enough.It was packed with everything I needed to get it going. I’m actually going to buy another Westinghouse dual fuel generator that will power my entire home.Hopefully it will also come with a cover as well. I want to keep my generators clean and looking good for many years.Thank you Westinghouse for making such a great looking affordable dependable machine.

Like most jere, went shopping after storms took power out for most of the day. Found this at a very decent price. The two fuel types is an added plus. Running the initial hour to get it settled i and shouldn’t have to worry about those outages again. Also talked 3 others into purchasing while there just by explaining some of the features.

I bought this a few months ago for emergency house power for the frequent South Eastern storms. Recently, there was a major power outage in the neighborhood. I connected the generator to the house, fired it up on the first pull, and within minutes I had full power (2 refrigerators, microwave, lights, ceiling fans, internet). The wife was happy!

After a year of multiple power outages and ruined food, we decided to finally get a generator that could at least keep food cold. We chose this model because it was affordable and had excellent features for the price point. Once we got it home, we were impressed by the quality of the generator. It's solidly built, not flimsy at all, nor is it overly loud and obnoxious. Overall, we're happy that we won't have to worry about ruined food anymore, should we have any more power outages.

Easy and fast set up. Manual was great with good pictures to set up. The only thing wish the oil fill funnel was about 2 to 3 inches longer to make easier to put oil in. Have not run except for one hour with no load for break in period but cranked up on first pull.

I am impressed with how well the user manual was made. Very informative! The instructions are easy to follow. Also, the generator itself is exactly as detailed in its description. I think we will enjoy using this to run our sump pump when the power goes out.

I actually just bought this the same day I'm doing this review. I went on to register after running past the 5 hour break-in period with no issues. After testing a variation of appliances while running my heat tape on my roof, since it's been snowing, while running both gasoline and propane, I'm impressed with the wattage output of the Wgen5300. Typically, if you don't experience any issues within the break-in period, you aren't likely to have any in the future, outside of wear and tear. After seeing how this generator preforms after 6 hours of running, I intend on keeping this unit for many years. This is the first generator I've owned that'll run on propane and I must say, while I intend to primarily use gas, the propane will come in handy. It still seems to have plenty of power for what I needed even though it's downrated to 4800 running watts. I thought I'd test to see how seamless it can transfer from propane to gas or vice versa. I was able to switch it over to propane while it was sputtering out of gas without it ever dieing. I'm happy with my purchase and after using an 8 year old Duro Max 4400 that still works excellent, I'm not regretting my new purchase.
