Great Product!!!

Bought my new generator after my last hand- me-down on did no start this hurricane season. Easy to set up and it started the first try. Love how it can be powered by gas or by the propane tank on my BBQ grill. I have even used it to power up my pop up camper with the 30 amp plug.

Great Features for the Price

I bought this a week ago. It is nice that it is a dual fuel generator sytem. It cranked right up with propane as well as gasoline. Easy setup and love the portability. Wheels are sturdy and it is easy for wife to move. Placed a load on it and it ran seamlessly. Great buy!!

Good value for the money.

I bought this generator in May 2021 for use as backup power for my house and for powering my travel trailer on camping trips where there are no hookups. Upon unboxing and adding gas, the unit fired right up on the first pull. The unit has 6500 peak watts and 5300 running watts. We took it on a camping trip and it was able to power our 15K btu AC unit, and we ran our microwave at the same time. It is a large fairly loud unit that creates a lot of power. It does not have an Eco mode so it puts out full power all the time and uses a lot of gas. What's a great feature is that it also runs on propane as it comes (although it puts out a little less power on propane). In my test on a propane tank it ran fine. In all I think that with the power it delivers, the 3 year warranty, and the fact that it runs on propane, the unit is a great value and that I made a good decision in my purchase.

looks good

unboxed the generator and it was packaged well, no damage. wheels and feet went on easily. wheels are plastic and one piece and should be durable enough for garage to transfer switch use. I like the idea of covered outlets for the ones not being used. really liked the oil fill tube that screws in so there is no mess. am keeping the .7l bottle the oil came in so i can fill it up and be siure to know when I change the oil that i dont over fill it and cause a mess. looking foreard to testing it later today

Easy set up and great instructions

Bought for backup during power failure, did not unpack for 2 months after receiving, came with no packaging issues, assumed all was good. When needed preformed the recommended set up and break in. Worked as expected, quieter than expected and would buy again or highly recommend.

Perfect Portable Generator

I’m very pleased with this generator. It’s easy to use and starts quickly. I live in a rural area where power outages are frequent. This generator keeps my sump pump, fridge, microwave, lights and a couple portable heaters (in the winter) running.

Portable Compact Gas/Propane Generator

Compact Generator with long running hours on small amount of Gasoline or using clean Propane. Easy wheel set-up and light-weight to move about. Much easier to move than the previous generator. Very pleased. No electricity for over a week. So, the generator is a much needed item.

Great Generator

I bought this for Hurricane Ian. I run it at a 40% load. I run it for a total of 10.5hrs on propane. When I took the 20lb bottle in to get it refilled it still had 2lbs of propane left in it. The books says 6.5hrs@50%. This is my experience only not saying they are wrong. This is a great generator. I recommend it

Saved our food in the fridge

Power was out and looked for a power generator that was on SCE’s list for a rebate. Thankfully the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv was on the list and in stock at a nearby Sam’s Club. Bought it and used it with propane gas to power up both our fridges and saved our food from spoiling.

BEWARE!! Piece of junk that will not start

I bought this generator before Hurricane Ian hit Florida. After the hurricane I tried to start it and was unable to. I followed the starting instructions to the letter. I finally was able to start it the following day after trying for over an hour. When I had to turn it off to change propane tanks, it would not start again. I tried for 2 hours. It is ridiculous it is that difficult to start this machine. Never again will I buy a pull start generator. Beyond frustrated!
