Wish I had it sooner

Like most jere, went shopping after storms took power out for most of the day. Found this at a very decent price. The two fuel types is an added plus. Running the initial hour to get it settled i and shouldn’t have to worry about those outages again. Also talked 3 others into purchasing while there just by explaining some of the features.

Great size!

We were wondering if this generator would be an appropriate size for our house and it was. We thought about getting something larger but wanted it to be something we could move easily. We read the instructions and made sure we have everything we need. It's a great generator!

Wow, Great generator, feature rich, yes pull start

Westinghouse Generator Dual fuel, model WGen5300DFv. Received November 7, 2020 Took photos all sides before unboxing. Noticed no damage. Assembled the generator per instructions. Went great, tools provided. Levered stationery end up, rolled into my basement. Another possibility of a storm, so I need to do the break-in run. Filled with correct oil and quantity, funnel provided. Added gasoline. Ready to run. Opened fuel valve, verified gasoline not propane, ON, 120V, choke on, started on first pull. Let it warm a bit. Turning choke off. Walking around looking noticed air filter latch loose, not camed-over tight. I tried latching it a couple times only to discover the latch was broken. The rivet was bent in the middle and not long enough to go through the lever where it pivots from. Pulled the rivet down to see if I could straighten it. I was disappointed, don’t know if I can get a replacement latch and rivet. I am satisfied with the cranking, displays power, reasonable quite, like my push lawn mower. I checked it out with some lights and a circular saw. Didn’t phase the governor. So we have enough for emergency power needs. I have a much smaller generator and it would support a freezer and refrigerator, nothing else. We need more than that for colder weather.

Awesome Looking Generator

I haven't started the generator up yet. I just unboxed it, and assembled the wheel kit. I found a few small issues when unboxing it. The first one was there seems to be a small amount of oil all over the machine I am assuming to help prevent rust. The second issue is I noticed the bottom of the generator had some scratches on it. It looks like it has been dragged across the floor scuff some of the paint. The other two issues was the fuel gauge that is mounted on the top isnt lined up straight and the plastic that covers the face of the generator has already been removed. All minor issues, anxious to start it up and see how it runs.

Great quality!

My husband did a lot of research before deciding on this one. We just had to pull it out after we lost power from Hurricane Ian. Quality is too notch and we are so pleased with the purchase! If you are a first time generator owner like us, don’t wait until you need it to open the bow! It does take some setting up before first use!

Super Simple Sturdy Unit

Very simple assembly- literally comes with everything you need (including oil & wrenches). Love the dual-fuel capability as I can grab the propane tank off the bbq if I’m out of gas… versatile with convenient displays. Happy so far with value, but time will tell as I put it under loads and see what it’s capable of enduring.

I like it.

I bought this generator because old died on me during a power outage. I like the dual fuel feature, so I don't have to worry about old gas going stale. I set it up as per instructions and ran it for a while. I had to change the plug coming from my house from a 20 amp to a 30 amp because the 20amp doesn't work with this generator. I hooked it up to the and ran it for about 10 minutes, checked voltage at one of my receptacles and the reading was 120 volts. So far. I'm very happy with the purchase. Also, I received it 3 days sooner than expected.

Ease of setup and use

My Generator arrived in pristine condition. Once unboxed the instructions were clearly written and easy to follow, it took about 10 min to get it set up and running. I chose to run on LP gas. it started right up and was humming like a sewing machine. I would highly recommend getting one for your needs.

New dual fuel generator

I just got the generator. Easy to install wheels and feet. Added supplied oil and am beginning with propane. Started right up. Using propane as that is what I have and prefer to store when not in use with an empty fuel tank. Seems to be just what I was looking for, clean lines, compact and fairly quiet. Again, I haven't used for its intended purpose yet so only 4 stars.

Nice and quiet

I bought this generator because my power has gone out frequently in my area and I'm very pleased so far with this one. It's quieter than the 3500 watt Craftsman I was using before and it puts out more power for the same price. Bottom of the frame seemed a little bent on arrival but doesn't seem to affect anything.
