Bought this before hurricane Helene and didn’t need it because my power didn’t go out for more than 30 minutes. I actually thought about bringing it back but good thing I kept it because two weeks later hurricane Milton was a direct hit on my town and power was out for four days. This generator saved us from being miserable because outdoor temps reached 90° after the hurricane.

Bought this generator to use on a piece of property that has no electricity. I already have a similar Westinghouse generator that I use at my home if the power goes out in the winter or summer and have really been pleased with it. Therefore, decided to get another Westinghouse generator. Easy to operate.

Much, much research went into the purchase of this generator, and it's just right for our needs. Your needs may vary. This is enough for a refrigerator, a couple of computers, a few lights, a fan, and charging cellphones...maybe more, but we haven't tried more than that yet. Love the dual fuel, since propane stores well, doesn't go bad, and doesn't gum up the carb. I haven't run it on gasoline yet. The slightly lower power compared to larger generators means lower fuel consumption and longer run times per tank of propane. You don't want to be looking for gas or propane after a hurricane. Also wanted a generator that can easily be attached to a transfer switch (which needs to be installed by an electrician), so there aren't extension cords everywhere. This one fills all those needs and is compact to store in my small shed. Non-electric start is a plus for me, since there are no batteries to die and need replacing. This pull-starts easily. Only tradeoff is noise; it's an open-frame model and is louder than most inverters. Overall, very happy with this generator.

Overall, the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv Dual Fuel Portable Generator is a powerful, versatile, and reliable option for both home and recreational use. The dual-fuel capability, electric start, and ample power output make it an excellent investment for those seeking peace of mind during power outages or planning off-grid adventures. The minor drawbacks don't outweigh the significant benefits this generator offers. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a dependable and flexible power source.

I purchased this product one month ago to prepare for the fall storm season and for any possible power outages during the winter months. The generator arrived quickly and was an easy assembly. I have not used it yet and will update my review after I have actually used the generator.

Bought this unit for backup after being without power during hurricane Sally. I compared features with other generators and this one had what I needed, great reviews and good company that stands behind their products. I did the one hour break-in using propane, low noise and ran very clean.

In 2021, San Antonio had an “abnormal” winter, with as much as 8” of snow. There were serious power outage issues in the area. This generator give me peace of mind for the upcoming winter. The Farmer’s Almanac says this winter will be at least as bad.

I purchased this generator to supply power while replacing the service panel on my house. This required the electric company to disconnect power for this job as the house was built in the 70's and was not up to 2020 code (eg. No external cut-off to the main service panel). Of course we still needed electricity to perform work. It started up right away after addig the oil and gas. This generator performed wonderfully providing hours of power. Since we were only running a few things, fuel consumption was not high and we still had half a tank or more of fuel after probably 6 hours of service. The wheels are nice for moving it around. The only drawback is that the could be made longer so that your ankles don't continually hit the unit while pulling it. Otherwise, it is a great generator!!!

So, I bought this and it's a great value, seems to run very good. Only issue is cosmetic damage on the outside. I have contacted customer service and they assured me that I would receive new covers that were dented during shipping. If allowed I will update this review based on it they send me new parts

I got this for two reasons, to run tools and to run my camper about a month ago. When I first started it up it took me only 2 pulls. That has been the case every time since when cold. When warm it is only ever one pull. It is louder than my quiet generator, but still much quieter than most other generators that compare in size. Operation is very simple and I love the ability to change from 120-240. Instructions were great as well. When I put this generator under load it hardly even seems to bog down at all. It has run for 11 hours and I can't wait to keep using it. It is too heavy to load by yourself, but that's to be expected.
