Good generator

Sold my gas generator because I really wanted the option to use gas or propane. Whichever is most convenient or available in a time of need. Was a little surprised by how heavy it is. Other than that it’s exactly what I needed and Im happy with my purchase.

Compact and Easy to Store

Got this due to it's good power for such a compact size. Came with everything needed (including a nice open-end wrench) for assembly and operation. Mainly purchased for emergency power so the fact that it runs on propane was ideal since there is no need to worry about storing gas and it going bad. Started it up for a test run on propane and it fired up right away. Hope I won't need it, but will be glad to have it if I do.

Westinghouse Open Frame Dual Fuel Generator

I bought model # WGen5300DFcv, it's got 6500 watts peak power and 5300 watts running, runs on gasoline or propane. We bought it because we are in Western North Carolina near Asheville, and Hurricane Helene knocked out our power for 15 days. And this Westinghouse generator ran like a champ for 12 hours on a single tank of gas for the duration of this power outage. Performing post use/storage maintenance was easy. Nothing but praise for this open frame generator.

Generator equals peace of mind

We received this generator as a Christmas present from our adult children. We live in mid-central Wisconsin in the country. We needed a backup generator for when the electricity goes out due to a blizzard, thunderstorm, suicidal squirrel, etc. We like this generator as it is easy to handle, easy to set up, will run on gasoline, or it can be connected to our propane gas tank. It gives us great peace of mind to know that the water pipes will not freeze in winter nor will our freezers not run in the summer.

Started right up on propane

Easy set up, first time using propane for a generator, it started on the second pull. Only thing I noticed so far is when I shut it off to switch to 240v then restarted there was a very loud backfire. Perhaps shutting off the gas first will resolve this

I love it

Easy to use with 5 gallon propane tanks. Have not used with gas and do not plan to because gas is a gross mess. Arrived dented. The oil dipstick is cheap plastic, trying to find a metal dipstick with a magnet. Used the same motor oil I use in my SUVs: 5-30 Ultra Platinum and a few squirts of Hyperlube Zinc Replacement. Bought for backup in case the electricity goes out in the winter I can still run heaters and a stove top burner. The noise would be obnoxious though if running at night.

Mostly Good

Just got my generator. Assembly went well except the location of the oil filler is very inconvenient. Once filled, it started on the second pull. Also we like the blue colr small size and weight. Works well for our transfer box to power our home.

Best bang for the buck!

I have been looking for a fuel fuel generator for a while now. This unit started up easily with gasoline, and on the first pull with propane. So far I can not tell any difference in the performance when used with one fuel or the other. Great unit! Works well with full size trailer with no issues.

Great Features at an affordable price

I researched traditional generator sets for months and decided on the WGen5300. For a home owner needing backup power in an outage, it has a decent size power capacity while still being light enough for two people to easily pick it up to move it to a different location if necessary, very happy with this purchase.

As advertised

I bought this online and had it was delivered. Added included oil and fuel unit started immediately. Connected to our camper as a test. Ran the Air Conditioner (15K BTU) refrigerator and TV. Everything worked well. Outside it seemed a little noisy. Had it in an area where resonance may have been the issue more than the noise. Bought it so we can use it for the camper. I can see using it around the yard as well. Would recommend
