I bought the dual fuel generator to make sure I was prepared for hurricane Francine. I love the fact that it can run off of either gasoline or propane. The advantage of using propane is that it runs quiet and there's no gas fumes. The only issue I had was that it didn't want to run at first. Until I downloaded the quick start manual and read it everything else was history.

Currently, our world situation is unpredictable. With the threat of cyber warfare & possible power grid outages we thought it would be wise to purchase a well-known, dual fuel, dependable portable generator just in case we happen to need one. In case of a power outage, this one will power our refrigerator, freezer, microwave, tv, window unit air conditioner and many other small appliances. Its function and use is easily explained.Being prepared for an emergency was a no brainer for us.

I had purchased 2 Westinghouse generators right before hurricane IDA hit Norco. I gave one to my daughter and kept one in case of grid down. When IDA hit us we were out of power for 19 days. My generator kept us in GOOD shape that is why I bought a backup. This country is falling apart-FAST. Keep well prepared. Peter

I bought this a month ago. I moved to Florida last year I want to be prepared for the Hurricane season. My Daughter lives in TX and she bought one a couple of years ago and she recommended I to get one. She lost her power last year for two weeks and she said these

Got this due to it's good power for such a compact size. Came with everything needed (including a nice open-end wrench) for assembly and operation. Mainly purchased for emergency power so the fact that it runs on propane was ideal since there is no need to worry about storing gas and it going bad. Started it up for a test run on propane and it fired up right away. Hope I won't need it, but will be glad to have it if I do.

We did extensive research to decide which generator would be the best fit for us. Please understand we have not had to use the generator as a substitute for power yet. With that in mind, we purchased this for the most bang for our buck and agree with other reviewers to check for damage as ours arrived damaged from shipping…it could be a combination of manufacturer needing to improve the packing (since it’s a known issue) and the shipping companies handling them better. Looking forward to actually seeing how well it does for what it’s made to do!

I'm not sure if I already registered this but had a recent opportunity to finally start it and found that it had no power output from the panel's 120/240-volt 30-Amp Twist Lock Outlet (NEMA L14-30R) nor on the 120-volt 30-Amp Outlet (TT-30R). Is there something involved here not mentioned in the owner's manual such as grounding required of the unit or the cable needs to be connected? Circuit breakers were pushed in. Had power output on the two 120-volt 20-Amp outlets. All checked with a multi-meter.

I bought this little generator for for a couple of reasons. 1. we camp a lot and are looking to get a small camper. We can use this travel trailer ready unit for both camper and primitive style set ups for any of our power needs. 2. As seen on tv, we in Texas were being warned of snow and very low temperatures for a long period of time, resulting in scheduled power roll outs and the possibility of losing power for days. This generator was put to use almost immediately. It comes with everything you need to start it up, just need gas or propane. Being a dual fuel is another feature that made my choice easier from other brands. I followed the start up instructions, let run for 1 hour before pulling a load and began using it our first day of power outage. We stayed warm, entertained and with warm meals. It is a little louder than I expected but it rocked and rolled providing us more than what we needed to make it through the storm. It’s a little heavy and awkward with a full tank of gas, and the plastic non rubber wheels, but it is def manageable. And easy enough to operate, my wife and kids could start it up when needed on the days I was at work. Also, I ended up picking this thing up while in my car and I was still able to get it in the back seat. As mentioned, it’s a little on the heavy side and I should have had help, but it will fit in a 2020 Subaru WRX back seat with a little hope and determination. I do feel I would like to have gotten one a little smaller, but I think this generator will be a great addition to our family.

I bought the WGen 5300 Dual generator for the dual fuel option capabilities. This particular model meets and, exceeds all my expectations at home or when camping. It started right away without a problem. I love the fact that it comes with a pull handle, wheels and its own tools and hose for the propane fuel tank. Thank you !!!!

Bought this generator to have in case we lost power due to storms. I assembled it when they were predicting severe cold weather and attached a tank of propane. Pulled the cord a few times and it fired right up. Never had to run it for any length of time but felt safe having it ready should we need it.
