I recently bought this generator because the power goes out constantly where I live, and this thing has been an absolute life saver. I cannot recommend enough haven't a backup generator has changed me and my family's life. This Westinghouse general is fantastic. The build quality is among the best I've seen and has more than enough juice to power my whole house. We had it hooked up to a transfer switch and it's perfect because this Genny comes ready for that. The dual fuel option is really nice as well. Also it comes with everything you need in the box except fuel. This generator was hands down the best value I could find i definitely recommend Westinghouse generators they are some of the best on the market.

Just received this and followed the excellent owners manual for assembly and adding oil (which I really appreciate you including). Put a quarter tank of gas in, threw all the right switches and valves, and it started on the first pull! For the size of engine, the recoil start is very easy to pull, unlike my 5hp chipper/shredder. I especially like that it has a fuel line shutoff to the carb since it will be sitting idle more than actually running. I don't like where the oil dipstick is since I have to get down on my hands and knees to see and access it. The only negative item is I ordered the wrong one, meant to get the electric start model. Oh well, don't have to worry about replacing the battery every year! Really glad it came with wheel kit and propane regulator. Should be all set for hurricane season this year and the almost weekly power outages the rest of the year. I'll try to update or add another review (with pictures) when I actually have to use it.

I purchased this generator for the peace of mind when our house loses power. We live in an area with really bad storms and tend to lose power quite frequently, last time a really bad storm hit we lost power for several days and lost was lost due to it. I feel so much better now that I have this generator. It was easy to assemble and the instructions are very well written and easy to follow along.

I just moved to the gulf coast so I needed to pick up a generator for hurricane season. I haven't had to use it for real yet, but assembly out of the box was easy, and the initial servicing and startup was simple to do and easy to follow the instructions. I don't forsee having any problems getting it running once I actually need it, seems like a great value for the price.

Once upon a time the Wgen5300DFv was a solid generator. After the massive recall last fall to resolve fire hazard I had faith that the quality control issues would be resolved. Numerous one star reviews here over the last few months strongly suggest otherwise. Oil leaks, bad rings and valves, no generator output reflect global issues in production rather than a single issue with one component.

I have been using this Westinghouse generator for the past month due to our hearty weather not only in the summer, but more importantly our winters here in Minnesota. In the course of the past month, we have lost our power 3 times for multiple days and this compact, powerful generator saved the day. We both work from home and kept us up and running without skipping a beat. The assembly was easy, and it started up on the first pull. I love the graphic detail of how to start, use and maintain the generator located right on the top of the generator. The large gas tank has been a life saver as well as being dual/fuel as we have used LP as well.

generator suits storm needs very well. the duel fuel feature is a great asset and easy to use. the co shut off is a great peace of mind. the running wattage is perfect for a temporary power station in the case of a storm outage and the wheels work great for portability.

I bought and have read the reviews very impressed. The ability to last 14 hrs on a given full tank and the ability to run continuously for 500 hrs. I have read numerous Generators capability and nothing compares to the Westing house!!! Thank you so much!

Have not had a power outage yet but have tested it and it worked my fine. My only issue the unit would not start on propane only.... The issue which I found in troubleshooting, not in the starting instructions, states you need to burn off the gas in the fuel line before switching over to propane, this addressed the issue and the generator started up on propane.

I purchased this generator in apprehension because I thought it may be too loud to use as a generator to power my RV during dry camping. To my surprise it was perfect. It definitely isn’t as loud as other generators I have used and it is powerful enough to run two RV air conditioners at the same time. Great product.
