After searching for about a month, we finally decided to purchase the 5300DFv. Great decision - being in our 70s, we needed a generator we could manage to move around and to provide us with the power that we needed. The fact that it is dual fuel was a added bonus. Thanks!

This particular model is a high quality one that works well. Nothing felt or looked cheap. It has good connectivity and nice features. I had a little trouble starting it on propane the first time, but a shot of starting fluid fixed the issue, and it now starts on the first or second pull every time. The only drawback I noticed is that it is quite loud even for equipment of this type... approximately the sound of a gas push mower when standing next to it, but I wasn't expecting whisper quiet either, so not a big issue. Overall, it is worth what I paid for it.

We bought this a month ago before a winter storm was hitting our state. We didn't have to use it though, surprisingly! Love the features! If you are snowed in and run out of gasoline, it is great to just hook up a propane tank and keep our heat and appliances going! Easy to start too. Just a couple pulls and starts right up.

Chose the WGen5300DFcv to replace my very unreliable Firman generator. I put way too much time and money trying to repair the Firman that had less than 10 hours of run time. After reading several reviews and articles, I went with the Westinghouse brand. I needed something I can rely on since we live in Hurricane alley. The WGen has been exactly what I need—reliable and easy to use. The dual fuel system is a plus. Don’t worry about spending the extra money for electric start. It starts easily on the second or third pull. Once started, maintains steady rpm no matter the load. Definitely recommend.

The packaging is not good so it'll come damaged, i ordered it twice, both were dented on the alternator cover and the exhaust cover. Decided to keep it anyways since it ran fine. much louder than I originally thought. Otherwise its good, started on the first pull. Very Good Price. And I like the dual fuel capability.

Bought this generator a year ago in preparation for the next major storm. Generator sat in its box in the shed for a year until Hurricane Helene hit us the other day. Broke out the generator, added the oil that came with it, hooked up the propane, and it fired right up with no issues whatsoever. My WGen5300DFv worked straight out of the box after sitting for a year. I am happy to say I am truly blessed at the performance and power of this model. I was running 2 floor fans, light, 2 refrigerators, and my deep freezer with ZERO ISSUES or Concerns. THANK YOU Westinghouse for an outstanding product. You bailed me out when needed and as I stated before I am truly thankful.

Just got this in the other day. Generator comes with everything you need in the box except propane or fuel. Wheels were easy to install, also comes with nice funnel for the oil. Love that this generator is dual fuel, it’s nice to have options. Going to start the break in period on my day off.

Arrived 7/5/24, unboxed and installed wheels and shock absorbers. Added oil, connected LP fuel. Pulled starter cord and it would retract. Was damaged during shipping. Straightened housing and started up after a couple pulls. Hopefully CS will send new recoil to replace damaged one.

I have been reviewing generators for awhile and after reading reviews, price and features, I purchased this generator. I purchased this product seven days ago and finally was able to unbox today. I had no damage to the product when unpackaged. All I had to do was put on the wheels, two front rubber supports that it sits on and add oil. I attached it to propane, choked it and after three pulls it started right up. I checked the electricity output and the output was there. I hope I don't ever need it for backup power but I will sure have it if needed. The generator was actually quieter than I had thought it might be when running. Even my wife said that it was quieter than she had anticipated.

We got this generator to keep the lights on and the food cold; because of all the Bomb Cyclones and atmospheric rivers coming through California. It is a little load, but I haven't had any problems w/ it doing what it was supposed to do. It burns approx. 1/2gal of propane an hour. Like the wheels and foldable handle for moving.
