Great Product

Just purchase it. Well built machine that looks like it will last. The dual fuel is great because you can keep propane forever, and not have to worry about gasoline turning bad or gumming up the engine. Removes the need to drain the gas when storing it. The noise level is about the same as a lawnmower and shouldn't be a problem during emergencies. Overall great generator.

Easy to use

I represent One Fellowship United Methodist Church. We were in need of a generator for our outdoor celebrations and festivals and Vacation Bible school. We were worried that it would be a complicated process to assemble and utilize the generator. But the instructions were so clear and easy to understand. We were able to power the outside lighting and (most importantly) the bouncy house for the kids!!! This generator is a great acquisition for our church.

Ease of use

I bought the generator to prepare for the winter derecho of 2021 here in Iowa. The derecho didn't knock out our power so the generator stayed in the box for several more months. When I removed it from the box the assembly was very easy and after following the instructions for oil and fuel, it started on the 3rd pull of thr starter rope. I am very satisfied with the unit.

Excellent Product

I have always held off on getting a generator and finally decided to buy one after a large storm that left me without power for a few days. I am extremely happy with the ease of use and portability of this generator. Seems to be very high quality as well. Would highly recommend.

Plug n Play

Bought this for a recent power outage. Easy instructions, set up in minutes and fired up on the first pull! A little heavy, but the wheels give you leverage. The dual fuel option will be a great back up in case we are out of gas. Will be great to hook up to the house via the special plug. Thanks.

Westinghouse Generator 5300

I purchased this generator based on review of Westinghouse generators. I specifically wanted dual fuel option. The size is what I need. I filled it with Oil , gas , turned on all switches, and the choke, and it started in two pulls. I am doing the break in 1 hour run right now. It is much quieter than my last generator also.

Exactly What I Needed

I bought this when calling for winter weather (snow, ice, power outages) and it worked great. I wanted a generator that could use more than just gas and this one is dual fuel and is easy to change from one fuel type to the next. It is heavy so the wheels are very useful. This generator is also quiet but can power multiple items at a time.

Power Plus w/propane

Purchased in December after reviewing several competive models for use duing power outages. Best priced for the output capacity. Love the dual fuel option as I always have propane tanks around for the grill and now have less worries for family safety during winter storm outages and there is no need to transport or store flamable gasoline for possible emergencies.

looks good

unboxed the generator and it was packaged well, no damage. wheels and feet went on easily. wheels are plastic and one piece and should be durable enough for garage to transfer switch use. I like the idea of covered outlets for the ones not being used. really liked the oil fill tube that screws in so there is no mess. am keeping the .7l bottle the oil came in so i can fill it up and be siure to know when I change the oil that i dont over fill it and cause a mess. looking foreard to testing it later today

Convenience with dual fuel

After research many kind of portable generator, I decided to purchase Wgen5300dfv with a lot of good features that I need but low price. This generator can run for fridge, fans, portable heater or ac. In special, I can store propane for operating it that is not wory about fire if storing fuel. I am so pleasure with this generator.
