GREAT UNIT

Just got a few days ago and found out easy to set up. Storing outside with a pan cover on top to keep water off and placed on a auto drip pan to keep the bottom dry. When I need it I will move to different location. Setting it up with a transfer switch to my main panel with six different brakers. Looks like this unit will work great. The price was in line with others with the same output.

Great Generator!

We bought this to replace an older and smaller generator. We love the electric start and the extra power this Westinghouse generator offers. It is also much quiter and smoother running. We use it for our RV and incase we lose power at home. Winter is coming and we feel sure that this generator will be ready when we need it. Thank you for a great product

Capable Generator

This generator was purchased as a power backup for south Florida weather. It has plenty of power to get you through a lengthy power outage. Delivery was quick and it arrived intact. Manuals are straightforward and set-up is easy. I intend to use it as a corded power supply, but it has the ability to hook up to the house directly with the ability to power most appliances. The dual fuel ability is great. As advertised.

What I needed

I bought 11/3/21Received generator all in good condition, with no dings or dents. Assembly was fast and easy. Only four bolt to install front legs. Wheels install with bolt axles and pins, about 10 to 15 minutes. It is little heavy, but easy to move with the wheels and handle installed. Started first with propane. It started easy run well, then gas, also run well. purchased it because of the option of dual fuel to power home light, appliance, in a power outage. It will also run my water well, pump and with propane, I can keep two 22# tank and if more fuel needed for long outage. I can get gas or propane. Would have preferred the electric start model, but was not available any where, and I wanted the Westinghouse for it reliability. I had one before and liked it. It is economical to run that’s good when you have a long outage, so I think it is a good buy.

Happy to have options.

Just purchased the dual fuel generator. I've had a generator backup for my home since 2007. I figured it was time to retire the old one. Found this dual fuel for a good price and had to get it. Now I have the option to run either gas or propane. No more worries about the fuel gelling I always have propane around and if I run out can use gas. Hope I never have to use it for an emergency yet feel safe with it being ready.

Great for 17 hrs…

Bought over the weekend for a small camping trip. Ran it for 17 hrs, not consecutively. It will run for about 30 seconds total now. Didn’t over power it. Tried troubleshooting… everything. Drained the oil and the fuel thinking it was that. It was neither. Do not recommend this product.

Simple setup-meets my needs

Bought this a couple of weeks ago. Setup went smoothly and runs well. Have wanted a dependable backup for some time since we are in a rather remote area. Seems like it will provide sufficient power for our emergency needs, and operation is solid and fairly quiet. I may consider it excellent after the next power outage, but I haven't fully tested its capacity yet.

Good value

I purchased to have supplemental power in the event of an outage and to have if I purchase an RV. This is a good value compared to other comparable units. I liked that it was dual fuel and had the TT-30R in addition to the L14-30R and 2-110 volt plugs. It is light and compact. As mentioned in previous posts this unit could use some improvement on packaging and arrived with some dents and scratches because of the lack of support within the box. However, the dents and scratches appear to be cosmetic. The oil and funnel were convenient and and the unit started easily. I ran on gas and propane which were easy to switch from one to the other.

Great product….just took awhile to start.

Bought this before a big snow a week ago. Great instructions on set up and precautions. Worked great once it started and that was the only issue. It took about 30 minutes to start. After 30 minutes of sweat and frustration, it fired right up and haven’t had any issues since. Highly recommended.

Great Generator! Great Brand!

I purchased this Westinghouse generator over a bunch of other well known name brands as this is my 3rd Westinghouse power product. My 1st was a super silent iGen2800c Inverter Generator with CO Sensor, which I was REALLY impressed with to run my jobsite power tools, and my 2nd was a iGen300s Portable Power Station with 100W solar panel for camping. I was so impressed with Westinghouse quality and price that when I needed to buy a bigger generator to run my office computers and lights after a hurricane, that I naturally went for Westinghouse again. I absolutely love the portability of the WGen5300DFcv, with the added bonus of running either normal gas, or propane on this generator. I like the variety and choice of the various style of power outlets on the generator, as well as the CO2 sensor, for safety. Easy to start, easy to run and so easy to move around and pack away with the wheeled frame. I don't think you can go wrong with this brand.
