Nice features and good price

Decided to go with this generator since It had the dual fuel option, along with wheel kit and good power output for the price. Assembled the wheels and feet and ran through first hour of use with no load today and have no complaints. Noise level was manageable. Also like the simple fuel gauge that came with it. Also the hour meter was a great bonus over some of the others I was comparing. So far very happy with my purchase.

Runs great! Little difficult to start though…

Bought the unit a week ago. It’s still in the break in period, so I can’t keep my expectations too high. Unfortunately, it’s been a bit difficult to start while using propane. I followed the instruction manual to a T. It’s required many, many pull starts to fire up. I haven’t tried gas yet, and have intention to do so soon. Once going, it powers everything I need it to, primarily the deep freezer if my power goes out. This thing is a powerhouse! Max wattage on my large deep freezer is only about 1:10th of the max wattage of the generator. I’ve got plenty of room to use on other appliances if needed. I never want our power to go out, but I know this Westinghouse generator will power our critical items during such times.

Dual fuel what's not to love

I really like to versatility of dual fuel. The generator started right up after I hooked up the LP gas. With the built in regulator it makes it so easy to use LP gas instead of gasoline. You do lose a little capacity but with the clean burning LP it's worth it. The ability to run gasoline is great as well in case you can't get LP. The only really downside is filling the crankcase, the fill tube is about 2" short but hopefully I wont have to do it often.

Seems to work fine

I needed a 240v generator to connect to my house's new transfer switch. While I haven't used it in an actual power outage yet, it fires right up on both gas and propane and seems to work just fine. No problem powering the 6 circuits on my transfer switch (furnace, fridge, sump pump, and a few less critical circuits around the house).

Great dual fuel generator

This product is great. Shipped on time and assembly was easy. I was expecting to have to do much more since it is duel fuel. Actually was just putting in the oil that came with it and easy funnel also that was included. Started right away and smooth and quiet. Great product.

love the dual feature

I purchased this a month ago and we had a horrific snow storm. It saved us a freezer full of meat! what I love the most is that it is easy to maneuver being on wheels and that it has the feature of using either propane or gasoline. This was the best purchase I've made i a long time.

Great generator. Smooth start and super quiet!

Great price for a feature packed generator! I don't even miss the electric start. Without an expensive ATS and a trickle charger being on your SLA battery 24x7, an electirc start gen is a waste of money! Love it! Westinghouse is an American company stooped deep in innovative history.

Great Generator

I've had this generator for over a year and have used it many times. It starts easily and ran all day on 1 tank. It saved our food on a 2 day power outage (ran lights and 2 refrigerators) and is now being used daily to run tools in an area that has no electricity. Highly recommend!

Marriage saver

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.

Sick of gas

So far so good! 👍 Set up instruction were straight forward, and easy to follow. Had to make the change to a dual fuel Genny after it seemed like all of the gas I stabilized went bad inside of 6 months. This should be powerful enough to keep the freezers frosty and furnace runnin'. Just what we needed.
