I bought this generator in preparation for PG&E public safety shutdown. The generator does support dual fuel, which is a big plus. And the noise level is acceptable. I was able to use it power all the essential appliances and lights without any problem. The reason why I gave 4 stars instead of the 5 stars is about the user manual. The preparation, operation and maintenance are so complicated that I had to spend couple hours reading the user manuals 3 times. I hope that the user manuals can be simplied and more user-friendly.

Weighs a little more than as advertised however works great. Instructions are very clear except the step requiring the on/off switch be placed in the "run" position is left off. It's easily understood however by review of the section on gasoline start/operation.

I purchased this back in January and just finally got around to getting it out and running but started on 2nd pull and works exactly as described. Our primary use will be to use a plasma cutter. It is extremely easy to move around and having the option of fueling with propane will be great also.

I bought this generator to power my RV in case of a power outage like we had here in Texas in February (we were without electricity for 7 days)!. It was easy to unbox and there was very little assembly required. It was well packaged and was undamaged. It took less than an hour to put it together, put some oil in it, hook it up to a propane tank and fire it up. It started on the 2d pull and ran flawlessly. I ran it through the first hour of break-in and checked the the output with a outlet tester and it was working well. I'm looking forward to hooking it to the RV for a test run tomorrow - Thanks!

This generator was easy to assemble the feet and wheels. The included funnel makes adding the oil easy. I plan on using propane to power it and it starts up quickly. 2 - 3 pulls and it's up and running. I like the power output, as we have it mainly to power the fridge and freezer during hurricane outages along with the microwave. Plenty of power for that (we use a transfer switch at the breaker box). I am very pleased with my purchase.

After a recent hurricane I was in need of a generator. I did some quick research and come across the Westinghouse wgen5300 DFcv. There was nothing I could find that had all of the features that this had at this price point. I purchased it had it shipped to my house,easy assembly put in gas and oil and now happy wife happy life.

Recently purchased, no power outages yet to try full operation of generator, reason for the 4 star rating. Impressive, well built generator. It starts up with one pull. Easy to use. Tested generator using some of my power tools. Works great. Purchased for my home use if power outage occurs. Quiet when running. Close my windows, turn on tv and cannot hear it running. Will update this post in the future.

this unit will get you through a power outage nicely !!! love the dual fuel capability gives you another option in an emergency situation !!! only take away it's a little louder than i thought it be, but is not a deal breaker, i'd still purchase it again.

Works great on my camper and for emergencies. Runs quite awhile on 1 tank of premium gas and the propane feature as backup is nice. I like the multiple plug options and voltage settings. I only wish it was a bit quieter but compared to some more expensive models it beats them.

I bought this today and I am very pleased with the generator. Very easy to set up. Install pads and wheels was very easy. Fill with oil and gas, couple of pulls and runs great. It is more quiet than I expected and all the gages and breakers are easy to use and understand. The size and available power are well worth the price!! Highly recommend.
