Great Generator for Motorhome

I bought this generator to replace the Onan 5500 generator in my 1998 motorhome. The Westinghouse generator works well and can easily power my entire motorhome running both A/C units and other appliances at the same time. I like the multiple plug ins and the ability to run either 120 or 240v. Would be 5 Stars if started on the first pull every time, however it does start consistently on the second pull every time using gas for fuel. A primer button may help this. The way the unit is mounted creates very little vibration for a small engine.

Awesome Generator

Brought home yesterday. Read starting instructions. Added oil with very useful included funnel. Added gas. Power switch on. Gasoline valve on. Choke on. Started third pull. Backed off choke. Ran beautifully. 122 volts. Hooked up a heater and rpm barely changed. Super easy and quite satisfied. Has all the features you'd want.

Very impressed

We recently purchased this Westinghouse generator after going through two hurricanes in two weeks. We lost a refrigerator full of food 2x. We are very impressed with this generator. Well made, easy to start and easy to hook up. Runs our refrigerator, portable AC as well as lamps and chargers for cell phones.

Easy setup everything you need but fuel

I bought this as a backup for the freezer. My wife & I liked the duel fuel as we have other propane appliances. I had it running in 20 min. including assembly. It comes with oil, a propane hose and tools to assemble. I don't have gas so I started it with propane. Two pulls and it fired right up. If the Total Harmonic Distortion was lower I would have given 5 stars. However electronics is not the main concern.

Great product they thought of everything.

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.

Compact and lightweight

I bought the WGen5300DFV for it's compact size and it's a dual fuel generator. So far it's everything advertised. I like that it has a 240v outlet which gives me more options. I was looking for a dual fuel generator for versatility. This generator checks all my boxes and is economically priced.

Exactly what I was looking for

I purchased this duel fuel generator a couple of weeks ago and gave it a test for the first time today. It seems to be perfect for our backup power needs. It handled the refrigerator and a small freezer chest easily. We were also able to use our portable fans at the same time. I’m confident it will get us through any short term power outages that may happen.

Great features!☆☆☆☆

Recieved faster than was initially said to arrive & affordable. Getting ready for bad weather when it comes I'm happy about the fact that it is dual fuel, the only trow back is that it will not run our wellhouse on propane because it isn't enough Watts... our fault for not checking into it closer and buying one with more wattage.We're still happy with it!!! Will be purchasing a larger Westinghouse dual fuel for our home soon.

Seems fine

Followed this break in advice from the long poster.. everything running fine.. but never saw the black oil and all the metal particles…my oils .. same exact brands and weights of the poster still looked good after his recommendation for running time to break in…showed to my mechanic.. he just sook his head….

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
