I actually haven’t used this under a load, but it was difficult getting started for the first time. I did start off propane and it could’ve been an operator error, but it seemed to run fine after it did start and started up easily after that.

Living in wild fire country, power is not as reliable. This generator was easy enough to setup. The instructions are accurate and helpful, except for the choke operation is backwards. Starts easily with correct choke. We have not truly tested with a large load, but I expect good performance.

Purchased prior to a storm and luckily haven’t had to use it. I’ve connected it to the home and just run it for a few hours (on propane) and it seemed to manage everything minus the main AC unit. Hope to never have to fully rely on it, but sleep comfortably knowing it’s available and capable of powering the essential of the power ever goes out. Love the dual fuel option to keep it empty of fuel when not in use.

Just received the generator and have only did the initial test run of the unit. It came with everything needed less fuel and the unit started up on the first pull. It runs a lot quieter than expected. So far I am very impressed with the product and would recommend it anyone looking for a generator.

I just purchased this generator as I was impressed with the written specs that exceeds my expectations. I was impressed when I opened the box and pulled was able to view the product and see the styling, and the easy to see and understand various controls. I look forward to completing the small construction pieces and cranking it on for a test run.

Assembly was very easy and fast. Poured in the oil (provided)I started with propane and it started right up. Transferred to gas and it started right up. This unit will be used for power outages to keep my: freezer, refrigerator, internet, chargers, laptop with power to spare for a small heater. I made a great choice and very happy with my purchase.

Too early to give it a full review, but I bought it this week and have tested in using both gasoline and propane and it works as advertised. Startup with the remote electric start is a real luxury. I'm still sore in the shoulders from trying to pull start my old generator (it never started which is why I bought a new one).

Easy assembly. One design change to improve would be to make the oil fill more accessible, even just a move out closer tot the perimeter. I have to work repair options due to the pully assembly apparently being damaged. Appears dented in and the cable won't recoil after first pull.

I recently got this generator and gave it a test run before the big snow storm. It was sitting in below 0 temps and fired right up after a couple pulls. I didn’t lose power so it was never put in use but everything seems great. Hope I never need to use it but I’ll be glad to have it when I do. Everyone should have one of these for their home.

I purchased this Westinghouse WGen5300DFcv generator after our power was out for four days due to a wind storm. I opted for an interlock setup over a transfer switch. Knowing this 5300 watt generator will not be able to power the entire house as with normal grid power, I turn off the circuit breakers which carry a high load. The only high-load breaker that remains on is the kitchen range and we only use one burner at a time. Works great in an emergency. I installed a slow start on my A/C unit and the air conditioner runs perfectly on this WGen5300DFcv generator. What really impressed me through my trial runs with this generator were the low engine RPM, how quiet it is, and how little fuel it uses. Speaking of fuel, I highly recommend running the engine on gasoline and switch over to propane while it is running. Just turn off the fuel shutoff and select propane. It is very difficult to start straight off propane. I’m very happy with my backup generator setup and highly recommend this generator.
