After thinking about getting a generator for years I finally decided to buy this unit. After putting it together and adding the oil I hooked it up to a propane tank and it started right up. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it was. I was expecting it to be louder. I just bought this unit in case the power goes out at my house for an extended time. Hopefully I will not use it much. At this price point it is worth it.

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.

Bought this generator when my electric service to my house was knocked down by construction equipment. I ran it on propane for a solid week while waiting on repairs. The generator performed flawlessly. Easy to set up out of the box. Easy to start. Runs very quite.

As a first time generator user and now owner, I have to say this is a perfect generator. Once mounting hardware was installed, oil added, and it gassed up, this generator operated great! It is perfect size for an average home to keep essentials running when power is out. Living in South Louisiana, we are used to the yearly game of chicken with hurricanes. Though I don't ever want to have to use it, I am confident that if/when the time comes, this generator will be up for the challenge. I was very surprised at the compact size. It will literally fit under a regular table.

I'VE HAD GENERATORS IN THE PAST - - -THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT RIGHT FROM THE TIME I UNPACKED IT. DOCUMENTATION IS GREAT & EASY TO UNDERSTAND. ASSEMBLY & START-UP EASY. EASY TO MOVE AROUND. HEAR THAT???? THAT'S MY GENERATOR RUNNING RIGHT NOW BREAKING IN. WHEN THE "BROWN OUTS" COME I'LL BE READY WITH THIS WGEN 5300

I'm glad that I didn't settle for any other generator. We have lost power at least twice a year for an extended amount of time. I had researched many different generators and found this dual fuel system to be the best for my home situation and optionally for using outside the home. I always have had propane fuel at home for my gas grill but thought I would be using gasoline. I now consider the propane selection to be primary and gas as a backup. The noise level is low enough to not disturb my neighbors also. I runs so smooothly.

Good build quality. Solid frame and this model has a lot of bang for the buck. Easy set up and straightforward to use. I will be using this generator to power a 1hp deep well pump. I plugged a power hungry circular saw in it and the noise barely increased. This is not obnoxiously loud, which is a big plus.

I purchased this product because I needed to power up to three sump pumps simultaneously in case of a power outage. I have been pleased with the product thus far. Its operation is simple; it seems like it will be easy to perform regular maintenance, has a lot of output, and is versatile with three different outlets. I like that it is dual fuel, so I don't have to mess with draining gas every time and can just disconnect the propane tank. Recommend this product.

Currently, our world situation is unpredictable. With the threat of cyber warfare & possible power grid outages we thought it would be wise to purchase a well-known, dual fuel, dependable portable generator just in case we happen to need one. In case of a power outage, this one will power our refrigerator, freezer, microwave, tv, window unit air conditioner and many other small appliances. Its function and use is easily explained.Being prepared for an emergency was a no brainer for us.

We bought this for our camper and back up at home. The duel fuel amd the ease of switching between the fuel and the camper plug in were part of the reason we chose this one. Unfortunately when we opened the box the axle socket/axle frame bracket was bent, so it doesn't roll the best. It does run great and does what it was intended to do.
