Good Generator

I like the dual gas feature in the event of emergencies. Lubricate the bolts prior to attaching the mounting foot. It is very tight to the point that the bolts would not screw in. I was worried that the bolt would snap and after wishing some WD40 I had no troubles.

Assembled in the dark...

We had a power failure that affected our entire town, and the heat index made this an unsafe situation for both my husband or me. Encouraged by the reviews, we drove to Sam's and bought this generator. By the time we got home, it was dark. My husband managed to assemble the generator with very little help from me. (I held the flashlight.) The generator started with no problem, and we were in the process of connecting it to a fan and our refrigerator when the power came back on. Next time the power fails, we will be ready.

Did exactly what I wanted it to do.

I bought this because we were going to have a bad ice storm and I needed it in the event the power went out and that's exactly what happened. This generator saved the day. It ran 2 space heaters, a lamp, and my refrigerator for 3 days. Great deal for the price.

Ready for Hurricane season

We bought this to add a second generator for Hurricane season in SC. The ability to switch between fuel sources was our main reason for buying this particular one. It starts up real easy with propane for a backup. The wheels are super helpful when needing to move it into position.

Wonderful Generator

Bought this generator i case of emergency due to the craziness and possible bad weather. Love the portability. Not too hard to move. . Just unboxed it and assembly was very easy. First start was 20 min after I opened the box. The startup was real fast. No dents dings or scratches anywhere as I did read in previous reviews. I would definitely recommend this I like the option of using gas or propane it allows me to have more fuel and I don't have to keep a bunch of gasoline cans. The ability to move it with the fold down handle and wheels make it easy for anyone to handle it

Westinghouse WGen5300DFv

Haven’t got to use it much besides starting up and watching YouTube videos about it. Never had a generator. But we live in a rural area and when there’s snow or ice power will go out. Bought a 4 prong Champion extension cord as well. Easy set up an use.

Very solid generator

I bought this same model a year ago and decided to get another one because I liked it so much. Very easy to use and great features. I used the first one at my remote, off-grid cabin and it is great. I had to change the LP nozzle for the high altitude but the support team was very helpful. This one is staying at my home for emergency backup purposes. My neighbor bought one as well. I did my homework on these models and they were one of the highest rated ones and the price point was excellent

Other good ratings; not a bad cost

I bought this last month, but; I have not had a cause to use it as yet. I started it up and tested for a half hour and it seemed to work ok. Being able to use propane and/or gasoline is a bonus in that you don't have to mess with gas and have to remove the unused portion from the tank. I don't imagine that I will need it often, just for emergency power outages. One drawback is it only having 2 regular outlets for power. My previous generator had 4.

Easy to use!

I bought this a month ago and so happy I did. I live in Houston Texas and I need to be prepared if it's easy for me and my son to start it up to make sure that it would fire up and it has A drain to empty excess gas and it works on the propane too. It started up really nice and I like the wheels. It's just peace of mind Knowing that I can put my refrigerator, a fan, television or my phones or whatever!

Perfectly satisfied

I bought this generator in anticipation of a winter power outage. It is exactly as advertised. It will be practical because it uses both propane and gasoline. And its relatively small size is space efficient. We hope we will never have to use it, but feel secure in having it, just in case.
