Purchased this a couple of weeks ago after ALOT of research on generators in this size/category. This weekend Hurricane Helene knocked out power to my house and we were very happy to have this available to keep home essentials running! We were quickly about to get this unboxed, assembled, and running. It has many desirable features built-in (dual fuel, wheels, handle, digital display/hour meter, easy fuel drain, etc) and it appears that it is built to last many years if properly maintained.

I worked with the U.S. Army Generator 2Kw for 20 years while while working with Mobile Kitchen Trailer (MKT). The quality of workmanship by Westinghouse Generator WGen5300DFv is outstanding. It runs great, noise level is lower than other generators around this size or model. I'm going to purchase another one for my food truck business. Very happy with this Generator

I carefully followed the instructions to set up the generator to operate on gasoline. The instructions are easy to follow and contained all I needed to know. It fired up right away and started producing electrical power after letting it run for a few minutes.

I actually just bought this the same day I'm doing this review. I went on to register after running past the 5 hour break-in period with no issues. After testing a variation of appliances while running my heat tape on my roof, since it's been snowing, while running both gasoline and propane, I'm impressed with the wattage output of the Wgen5300. Typically, if you don't experience any issues within the break-in period, you aren't likely to have any in the future, outside of wear and tear. After seeing how this generator preforms after 6 hours of running, I intend on keeping this unit for many years. This is the first generator I've owned that'll run on propane and I must say, while I intend to primarily use gas, the propane will come in handy. It still seems to have plenty of power for what I needed even though it's downrated to 4800 running watts. I thought I'd test to see how seamless it can transfer from propane to gas or vice versa. I was able to switch it over to propane while it was sputtering out of gas without it ever dieing. I'm happy with my purchase and after using an 8 year old Duro Max 4400 that still works excellent, I'm not regretting my new purchase.

We purchased this generator 3 days ago getting prepared for a bad hurricane. We have it set up ready to go, The dual with gas and propane is a great feature also. After setting up we cranked it up and it was very easy to pull start it on the first pull. You cannot go wrong with generator.

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!

My generator arrived earlier than the expected due date which was a plus for me. it was easy to assemble and maneuver around the garage. love the dimensions as it doesn't take up much space. After adding oil and gas it started on the first pull. very happy with it and it operates great.

So far very impressed with the initial operation of this machine. Fired up right away. I will be using only non ethanol gas. You spend a little more but this way you never have to worry about deteriorating the carburetor.I will also be using propane gas. I still need to test that. Great price, money well invested.

I bought the generator after we had the winter storm in Austin Tx. We were without power, heat and water for over 6 days. I searched for a quality generator at an affordable price and everything kept steering me back to the Westinghouse. Very pleased with my purchase.

I just bought this for a potential hurricane coming our way. Brought it home and was able to get it put together and cranked over in less than 20 minutes. Start it up perfectly runs very smooth and so far we are very happy with it. If and when we need it, I will come back and add to this review.
