Beautiful machine that works like a dream

I searched for this item for a while before seeing it on eBay! It was shipped very quickly, and the owners manual was easy to follow for starting it up and getting it running! It runs great and I can’t wait to power my house (as a backup)! I will also use for remote power tool use!

Ready for Hurricane season

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.

Great mix of features for emergency use

I bought this unit 8 wks ago and am very pleased with its performance! No problems noted. Engine runs well, and no problems with the electrical equipment. Reasonable size and weight, and a good mix of features for emergency use. I was specifically looking for 240 vac (for well) and also for manual starting (pull rope only) as i did not want to depend on a battery operated starter on a machine that i was going to need if the electrical power was out !). this generator has no battery at all. The capability to use dual-fuel (gasoline or propane) is a desirable feature which i did not expect to be able to find at this price point. very happy about that.

Great power! Easy to use!

I recently purchased this generator due to pole upgrades in my neighborhood and losing power once a month. I'm so happy on how easy is to use and how much power it has! I plugged a fridge, two tv's and all my computer office equipment! It didn't budge at all!

Great Emergency Backup Generator

I bought this generator so that I could have the flexibility of gasoline or propane to recharge my DIY home battery bank. Everything works as expected. Once I figured out the instructions the generator started easily on propane with just a couple of pulls. Ran my battery chargers just fine.

Very Nice Looking !

I love the way this unit is put together...Very easy to understand to controls and very easy to assemble. And YES....it has a handle. None of the photos I saw in the ads showed a handle...thought I would have to buy one somewhere, but it flips up and tucks down... makes it very nice to use. Love to fact that it use both gas and propane... So happy to have this one!!

WGen5300DFv

I purchased this generator at the end of Dec. 2022. We've been having issues with no power in the summer months, and this generator looked like it would work well for us. We actually ended up needing it (Feb. 2023) sooner than we thought. Worked great, started right up and it is surprisingly quiet.

This generator saved us!

We purchased this generator on our way home after being evicted from our lodging during Hurricane Ida. We were able to run one air conditioner in the den along with charging our phones and computers during the day, and a smaller air conditioner and fan/lamp at night. We had no issues getting it started or shutting it off.

Westinghouse dual/fuel general

The reason I bought this generator is cause I had read they were very good. I do lots of hunting and our hunting camp needed a generator I liked the fact that It runs on gasoline or propane. I myself have already used it on propane and really liked it. I plan to use it at my house when electricity goes out.

Great features

This is the first generator I have bought and I like everything about it. The generator has all the features I need and more. I use gasoline for fuel, but it is nice to know I can use my propane if necessary. Power outages seem to be more frequent in this time. This generator is perfect to keep electric power to my necessary appliances. It gives power to my furnace, my stove and my fridge and freezer. The generator is easy to use, starts and runs great. Just having it standing by gives me peace of mind.
