I purchased this generator almost two months ago to use around the farm and to provide emergency power should the electricity service go down. I opted for the manual start instead of battery start as there might be long periods of time when I don't use it and I didn't want to have to rely on the battery to start it, plus the cost difference wasn't worth it for me. Being able to run on either gasoline or propane allows me great flexibility when it comes to fuel sources. The generator always starts on the 2nd pull. IMHO it's not too loud like some other units. I have used the generator to power my air compressor, drills, saws, grinders, and even my 50 Amp plasma cutter. Great buy!

We haven’t needed to use it yet, but it was very easy to put the wheels and feet on. The owner’s manual gives a lot of information. One thing I wish was included was a packing list with amounts for each item. The manual said to verify we had all pieces, but it’s hard to verify if you’re not positive how many of each piece should be included.

Easy setup, readable manual for someone who is new to the game. Break-in period going well on LP, then I’ll change out oil to synthetic. Good size, feels solid, great price for a dual-fuel; for the rarity I’ll be running it, the right combo of cost, noise, power, LP function.

This was a dual Fuel, tried a new propane tank i had for my grill. Only last 8 Hours and 15 minutes. After that i switched to gas, was getting close to 14 hours on one fill up. Not sure if this one can do it, i've not found any instructions, but would be nice if i could adjust the output voltage. A bit louder than the one i've used in the past, but would recommend, for its ease of use.

This is my second Westinghouse generator. Both have performed flawlessly. It’s very easy to start and runs very quiet. I’m powering two 30 foot campers on my hunting property. I love the fact it is dual fuel. I recommend this generator to anyone that has a need for one.

It arrived on time and was easy to set up. It started on the third pull and appears to run well although I've only done the warm up run. The gas turn on valve, choke and pull rope start are all together on the same end. It has one of the best manuals I have seen since the old Craftsman days, excellent. A couple of small issues: I couldn't find the weight or dimensions and the run times are confusing between the gas and propane.

This generator, while big and heavy, is surprisingly easy and simple to use. I've put off getting a generator but finally got one bc of Beryl and this was a great choice. Directions were straightforward, starting it was easy, and maintaining it is simple.

With exception of Central Units and Dryer this will run everything else in my house. I can even add a window AC unit if needed. Very good value for a dual fuel. I ran for break in period without any issues. A bit louder than I expected but inside house you can't hardly hear it at all with it at least 15 ft from house

I just bought my WGen5300. So far everything has been very easy to use & self explanatory (but definitely read the directions). The wheels & legs were super easy to attach. My friend has one & it’s worked great for him. I like the ability to switch from propane to gas. I will be using natural gas.

This generator fired up on 3rd pull. Not as loud as other generators. Nice compact size. So glad I purchase this for winter months or any power outages. I was able to put the wheels on by myself in less than 5 minutes. Everything you need is in the box except the gas & propane tank.
