I BOUGHT THIS GENERATOR YESTERDAY AND PUT THE WHEELS ON AND ADDED OIL AND FIRED RIGHT UP. I'M USING PROPANE AND IT WILL RUN EVERYTHING I WILL NEED NEXT TIME WE LOSE POWER. BEING ABLE TO RUN GAS OR PROPANE WAS THE MAJOR FACTOR FOR PICKING THE WGEN5300DFV. I HAVE RUN IT THROUGH ALL MY PERSONAL TEST AND IT PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.

I just received this today and assembled it. It took a minute to get it started (waiting on fuel to get to carburetor). It ran good and powered my air compressor with no problems. I will need to run it for a while to give a better review, but for now I'm satisfied with my purchase.

I bought the WGen5300DFV for it's compact size and it's a dual fuel generator. So far it's everything advertised. I like that it has a 240v outlet which gives me more options. I was looking for a dual fuel generator for versatility. This generator checks all my boxes and is economically priced.

Did a lot of research before deciding on the WGen5300DFV, Took it thru the break-in period did great. Not as loud as I expected. Purchased a 25-foot 10/3 Conntek GEN1688 L14-30P to multi-Outlet, 30 Amp 4-Prong power cord to go with the generator. Note: the manual does not make it clear, but you must set the voltage switch to 240 volts to activate the L14-30R receptacle.

Just bought this after researching some online. Not sure on the Westinghouse brand for generators but it was a dual fuel, has the 30 amp for home and / or RV use and high starting and running watts. The most bang for the buck that I came across. So we shall see the actual reliability and ease of use. Will be used primarily as home backup in emergency

This is the first generator I've purchased. I needed it following a hurricane and did not have time to complete a complicated setup/install. I simply followed the clear directions to add the wheels and the generator was ready to go. Everything I needed (except gasoline) was provided. I was impressed that the generator started on one pull - impressive. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

I just purchased this generator as a backup power source when storms knock out power to hour home. I just purchased it yesterday and have not yet had a chance to use it. I did unpackage the unit and it appears to be well built and is lighter than I anticipated (which is good).

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.

I bought this when I had no power after hurricane Ian. I was able to run my refrigerator, fans, TV, satellite, phone chargers, induction cooktop, and instapot. Filled the tank with 4.7 gallons of gas in the morning and would get 15.5 to 17 hours of straight runtime. My brother-in-law seen almost the same runtime using propane.

This is the perfect solution for hurricane preparedness. Last year we lost power for 4 days and gasoline was very hard to find without driving nearly an hour away to find it. The propane option now gives us twice the fuel source. Runs our free-standing A/C unit and our window unit to make it through the heat, as well as a few fans, a light or charge our electronic devices.
