I bought the Westinghouse generator to be prepared for the next storm to hit Texas and knock out power. After researching, I chose the WGen5300DFcv because it is dual fuel with adequate running watts, is fairly lightweight, and a good price. The generator has great features and will more than meet the needs during a power outage to keep appliances, TV, and other electronic devices running. Can't wait to really see it at work!

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 recently purchased this generator after reviewing other similar generators. I could not pass up the dual fuel feature but other features really help me with my selection such as: easy setup & portability, RV-ready connection, transfer switch ready, low weight, built-in fuel gauge, warranty; all at a great price. After assembly and adding the oil it started on the 2nd pull and runs great. Very happy I bought this unit and I would recommend this unit to everyone.

I tried to test the generator using propane, but it would not start. It tried, but backfired and would never start. I had my tank refilled, but I still had the same issue, so I switched to gasoline. I got a backfire again, but then it started. It did not run as smooth as I expected, but I did not have any load on it. Not sure if this is normal or not.

I bought this generator due to a power outage. The 5300w generator was sufficient for keeping the fridge, box freezer, sump-pump, and hot water tank going for a 3 day outage. I was also able to run TV, Wi-Fi, a space heater, and charge devices during the outage. It ran approximately 12 hours on a full tank of gas (4 gallons).

Last February when Texas’ power grid went down we went 4 days without power. Freak winter storms, hurricane, rolling blacks, zombie apocalypse… whatever, this generator give us what we need to the lights on. I like the dual fuel capacity. In a crisis, gasoline could get scarce so having a propane back up is cool. This unit is large enough to run just about everything in the house minus the HVAC. The plan is to integrate it into our homes system with a transfer switch so it’s seamless. Since the generator is only for emergencies it should last a long time with regular upkeep.

We purchased this is preparation for hurricane Ida. Loved it's smaller size, but it is powerful enough to run our freezers if we are without power for an extended period. And easy set up!! Excellent instructions. But the main reason we chose this unit was the Dual Fuel option. Being able to use propane is huge! Gas pumps don't work after a storm, so no gas available. Propane is abundant after a storm. Will revisit this review after this event and let y'all know how it goes!

This product really saved the day! I work from home and had and unexpected power outage that lasted hours. This generator is very easy to use and have up and running in minutes. Very satisfied that this brand has more watts then comparable brands for a fraction of the cost.

I bought this generator after the Tornado storm in Houston in May 2024 from Sam’s Club. I used it the first time after Hurricane Beryl hit Houston in July 2024. It’s easy to assemble, sturdy and easy to start. I ran a deep freezer, refrigerator and portable dehumidifier with no issues at all. I am glad I bought this product. Now that I know that Westinghouse makes great generators, I will be buying a bigger triffuel electric start Westinghouse Generator so that I can run my home AC when there is a power outage.

Live in Florida and bought this a year ago to have in case of power outages. This past week during Hurricane Milton was the first time I opened the box. Took about five minutes to install wheels and feet, fill up oil, gas it, and get it running. From there it worked great.
