I purchased this generator based on the raving reviews and the quality of Westinghouse products. I am not disappointed and assembly of the wheels and legs were super easy to install. The size of this generator is PERFECT as I have seen some humongous ones.

I bought this generator to replace two other generators I had. Getting old takes a toll on RV campers. My old generators were pull start and didn't always start right away. Many pulls later I might get it started and have an aching back. My wife can't start it at all and wishes she could start it to run the microwave when I was away fishing. So having an electric start solved those problems. ADDING a remote start with that, means she doesn't even have to leave the RV to start it to run the AC or the microwave. At 64 dB the sound level is a bit higher than my old generator. My Honda 5000w pull start was around 56db. My 2000w generator was so quiet but couldn't run the microwave well. It was ok for charging the batteries running lights. I replaced it with 100w solar panels and batteries. Still, the solar charging system I have can't run the microwave or the AC when I want it. My plan is to mount it on a etrailer RV bumper shelf and there it will live during the summer season. It's too heavy for me and my wife to move at 135lbs. So I'm running it in for 5 hours with the AC at 2000w which is less than the max 2600 recommended for burn it in or <50% max rating. Changing it from AC to fan every 30 min or so to vary the load as recommended in the user manual. So far so good. I'm running it on propane with is what I'll like use most of the time cause I don't like having my fuel go bad or rust out the gas tank and plug up the fuel lines. I forgot to drain my gas last time I used the 5k generator and it made a mess in the tank and cost me $200 to repair it. Plugged the carburetor and all the fuel filters with rust. Had I sent it to the shop it would've cost me twice that. I was even using Stabilize to protect it but it was 2 years since I last used it. Next time I have to use gas I'll empty it like the owner manual recommends. It nice to have gas as an that option in a pinch. Other the the weight I'm happy with my choice. I was thinking of designing a portable lift or buying one of those motor cycle lifts to store it for the off season. Maybe I can start weight lifting... ;) or not!

I love the dual fuel option. Will explore adding a connection to home propane tank for larger supply availability. Sure beats relying on gas when the power is out and gas pumps are down. Also appreciate that it has metal shrouds vs the plastic on some of the others I looked at.

I BOUGHT THIS GENERATOR YESTERDAY AND PUT THE WHEELS ON AND ADDED OIL AND FIRED RIGHT UP. I'M USING PROPANE AND IT WILL RUN EVERYTHING I WILL NEED NEXT TIME WE LOSE POWER. BEING ABLE TO RUN GAS OR PROPANE WAS THE MAJOR FACTOR FOR PICKING THE WGEN5300DFV. I HAVE RUN IT THROUGH ALL MY PERSONAL TEST AND IT PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.

I purchased the generator in August. Very easy to get get operational; add provided oil, and put in some gasoline. The generator usually starts on the first pull, after engaging the choke. The choke can be disengaged after a few seconds. I have been using the generator for up to 8 hours at one time, in 90 degree heat, with no issues. I am very pleased with the Westinghouse generator and I highly recommend the generator.

Purchased this item after 3 power outages in less than 3 years, each lasting 24hrs+. Delivered within 10 days of purchase. Installed feet and wheels, added oil that was provided and gas. Started right up, no issues. Does seem a bit noisy- but previously we owned a quiet run 2000w. When power is out, a loud generator is least of my worries. Plugged in several items and ran great without bogging down. Dual fuel feature seems like a nice backup plan in case we run out of gasoline, but have not used this feature yet. Overall great product.

After reviewing several generators, we chose this one because of the durability of the brand and customer reviews. We started it and it ran fine and it was not as loud as some of the others. Since then we have used it several times and it has not failed us yet. We plan to use it for years to come.

We ordered this generator after we were caught struggling for a week without power and May and another week without power in July. Won’t catch us again! We ordered and received our generator quickly, broke it in, and now we are prepared for the future! Good price, easy to break in, and easy navigation.

We got this at the beginning of the week and it's already having issues with surging and won't even push a light. We're using a gas treatment on the fuel and followed all the setup procedures in the manual so we're at a loss as to what is going on with it. We use a generator pretty much everyday so we figured buying a new one was going to be easier than to keep fixing the old one we had but as of now that's not the case. We said we'd recommend to others because our luck with products like this is anything but good so maybe it's just us and not the equipment.......

I bought this product to prepare us for the upcoming hurricane season, to test it we powered it up and plugged in quite a few appliances and it was able to provide electricity to a lot more than we originally believed. It is a perfect size to store away while not in use.
