Ideal size generator for my requirements

Bought this following Hurricane Ian as an emergency power source and am very glad I did. I haven’t had to use it yet as an emergency generator but, once set up (fixing the stand and the wheels was simple), it started almost first pull and ran smoothly. Good to be supplied with basic tools and the LPG connector - I’ll probably run it most often on LPG. Very good value and just the size I need to power all the essentials in my house.

Nicely designed

So far we are happy with this product. I very much like its design. However I was concerned that the oil container that came with the generator has conflicting measurement on it. One side says one thing and the other says something different, hopefully it will be ok.

Easy to understand and use.

Everything from taking it out of the box to installing the feet and wheels to reading and understanding the instruction manual was simple and easy. Ready to try for the first time since Elsa is on the way. Makes me feel ready when the power fails and it will.

Awesome Generator

Bought this generator a year ago in preparation for the next major storm. Generator sat in its box in the shed for a year until Hurricane Helene hit us the other day. Broke out the generator, added the oil that came with it, hooked up the propane, and it fired right up with no issues whatsoever. My WGen5300DFv worked straight out of the box after sitting for a year. I am happy to say I am truly blessed at the performance and power of this model. I was running 2 floor fans, light, 2 refrigerators, and my deep freezer with ZERO ISSUES or Concerns. THANK YOU Westinghouse for an outstanding product. You bailed me out when needed and as I stated before I am truly thankful.

Great features and easily maneuvered & ease of use

Currently, our world situation is unpredictable. With the threat of cyber warfare & possible power grid outages we thought it would be wise to purchase a well-known, dual fuel, dependable portable generator just in case we happen to need one. In case of a power outage, this one will power our refrigerator, freezer, microwave, tv, window unit air conditioner and many other small appliances. Its function and use is easily explained.Being prepared for an emergency was a no brainer for us.

A Perfect Plan B

Very Excited about this product in case of any longer than expected power outages due to storms in the area at times. Also the fact that its dual fuel insures we can adequately prepare ourselves more with multiple types of fuel in advance! Excited to begin using it as necessary!

Very thoughtful

provides all tools needed., full assembled save the wheels and bumpers. assembly takes less than five mins. includes oil. The carb comes with a drain, and instructions tell you to drain for long interval storage, this is very good advice, that if followed, would lead to very reliable carbureted engines.

Great Back Up Unit

Bought it to protect my Fridge and Freezer when the power goes out. More than enough power, so can use with other appliances. I am single, so wanted something small enough to move myself and enough power to keep everything running (except HVAC). I had a small hole drilled thru my wall so I could keep all doors closed when running the unit. Simple to put together. Nice, heavy duty wheels. I purchased the adapter (generator) cord with the three extensions on the end. Then I purchased the needed extension cords for each major appliance so I wouldn't have to keep moving them. I am no going to purchase the storm cover for when in use (outside, of course) so it doesn't short out. Would recommend this be an available add on.

Pretty Solid Generator!

I bought the Duel Feual Westinghouse Generator last week. It came mostly assembled except for the wheels and ready to go. Compact and easily stowed away in the garage. Lovethe price and simplcity of use in case of emergencies. I would definitely recommend for any household.

Great Bang for the Buck

We purchased this as emergency back-up for storms, etc. It is versatile with two types of fuel. It is easy to start and is not all that loud compared to other generators. Serviceable parts are easy to access and it comes with everything that you need.
