We bought this to add a second generator for Hurricane season in SC. The ability to switch between fuel sources was our main reason for buying this particular one. It starts up real easy with propane for a backup. The wheels are super helpful when needing to move it into position.

I purchased the WGen5300DFcv portable generator in preparation for storms along the Florida gulf coast. Setting up the wheels and handle was very easy although the generator is quite heavy. Box included everything needed to get up and running including motor oil and fill funnel. Tested the new generator using propane and it started right up and worked as expected. Documentation packet includes everything you could possibly want to know about the product which seems rare these days.

I am just setting this up today. The set up was easy..very easy. This is a "emergency" generator for me and it will sit for a while. This is why I wanted propane option, and manual start. No battery to go dead, and with propane I do not have to worry about gas going bad. I set it up, and in two pulls it started up. Do not forget to use the choke every time, even when it is hot. It will start right up. Even my daughter was able to start it. Quality looks great, it is a bit noisy, but any open generator is going to be noisy. I have seen allot of this type of generator and it is no noisier than any other generator in its class. I am very happy. It is what I was looking for, it is well built, and looks like it will work for years to come.

After a few power outages lately and using the next door neighbors small generator I thought I would get one of my own. After looking at the reviews I went with the Westinghouse and am happy with my purchase. Setup is easy and it started right up on first pull. Had a chance to test everything out and it seems to work as advertised. Gives me more power than I had hoped for and seems to run for a long time on a tank of gas. Should be prepared with out next power outage.

I bought this for my daughter and family in NC after the hurricane disaster. It's the perfect size to run everything but their central heat and air. It allows them to have water from deep well, wash and dry clothes, cook on an electric stove and have hot water. It cranks easily on propane.

I bought this generator after Hurricane Sally, I needed a small generator that would run my refrigerator and other small items in my house. The duel fuel feature was definitely a plus, and the fact that I can hook it directly to my house was awesome! I highly recommend this product.

We bought this generator March 4 after an extremely strong wind storm. Our power ended up being off for 3 days. We got the wgen5300dfcv on the second day of the outage. It ran non stop for about 36 hours supply power to our living room, refrigerator and various other small things. It performed flawlessly, by the sound of the generator it barely even knew anything was plugged in. I would recommend this unit to anyone to supply power to a good portion of things in your house. I was impressed enough with the Westinghouse wgen5300dfv, that I will be buying 9500 version to hook straight up to my breaker box so I can run the whole house without having to run extention cords. But in the end a big thumbs up for the wgen5300dfv.

This product has everything you needed to start using the generator. Even included a wrench to tighten the rubber feet. Also a flexible funnel to install the oil which was also included. I like the Idea that I can also use this with my RV with the special 30A RV connection right on the generator.

This generator was easy to assemble the feet and wheels. The included funnel makes adding the oil easy. I plan on using propane to power it and it starts up quickly. 2 - 3 pulls and it's up and running. I like the power output, as we have it mainly to power the fridge and freezer during hurricane outages along with the microwave. Plenty of power for that (we use a transfer switch at the breaker box). I am very pleased with my purchase.

I purchased this Generator a few days before a projected winter storm. After watching all of our neighbors prepare their generators for the storm. After making the purchase i feel just as safe as any of them. Fortunately we have not had to use it yet. I know the name Westinghouse has our backs when the time comes!
