Excellent generator

I love the dual fuel option. Will explore adding a connection to home propane tank for larger supply availability. Sure beats relying on gas when the power is out and gas pumps are down. Also appreciate that it has metal shrouds vs the plastic on some of the others I looked at.

Excellent Product for Money

This Westinghouse - WGen5300DFv seemed to have the best value out there. It is well built and I love the option to use propane or gas. It was easy to assemble the wheels and supports. The engine oil was also easy to add with the oil tube provided. They have covered all the bases well!

Started right up

I just received the generator and breaking it in right now. Everything seems to be going smooth except it is running a little rough, the motor is surging some ( I am using gasoline) . Not sure if this is going to be a lasting thing or just for a little while , I guess we’ll see. Otherwise I’m happy with the product. Time will tell about the longevity of the generator

Functions As Designed

I bought this generator, in part, for all the glowing reviews people posted. I'm happy to add to this chorus of positive feedback because in an era of very disappointing products, this is a really nice piece of equipment that functions as advertised. Less than an hour to set up and (at least on propane mode) started after a few pulls. IDK about gasoline option... I've only used the propane mode and it was able to back-feed a panel in an emergency.

Generator 5300

This was bought after knowing we were going to be without power for a few days. I was quite happy with the initial opening and setup (very easy). I got it up and running quickly with no issues. I had to work the following day and had to tell my wife how to stop and restart it and she was quite happy with the ease of it.

Good generator

Generator was packaged really well. Came with oil and a nice little funnel to fill it. Also came with a small tool kit to put it together I have tool to put it together so I didnt need it but that was a good little thing to see a company that is willing to spend the little extra for people that need it. The voltage was 121 and hz was 62 so not that bad for a gas generator. I really like the duel fuel option and it ran really good on propane. Over all a good buy for a back up generator to keep the freezers and refrigerators going.

Easy to use and on wheels!

This generator is so easy to use. The quick start guide has simple step by step instructions to get started. Switching between gas and propane is a breeze. I love that it’s on wheels- it is very heavy so the handle and wheels are essential to moving it around.

Peace of mind! The generator is all we expected.

As a person who uses oxygen - this generator is life-protection for me! DURING HURRICANE it worked so beautifully - could not possibly ask for more peace and security. STARTED EASILY ON VERY FIRST TRY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GENERATOR FOR YOU!

Great buy

Opened the box, slapped on the tires, filled it with oil, put some gas in and hooked up the propane. Took a few pulls and it cranked right up. Have put about seven hours on it. 3/4 of the time propane and about 1/4 gas. Runs like a champ! Purchased it for emergencies, after our deep freeze last February. Hopefully , won't need it but, just in case.

WGEN5300DF Dual Fuel Generator

Acquired for hopefully occasional use during storms that affect traditional power. Needed to provide power to deep water well pump and equipment generally found in garage including refrigerator and freezer. Started right up using propane. Appears solid. Not totally impressed with the plastic choke lever. Adding oil is messy and ultimately results in a overfill.
