Great features

I just bought this but know I can't go wrong with Westinghouse. This unit has the best of both worlds involving fuels so I'm excited. I still have my Troy-Bilt 3550 but is 18 years and time for a quality replacement. I wanted a to up the wattage and the dual fuels give me more ability and easy. Don't need extra stress with these hurricanes. Of course was over due to replace the older propane tanks. I keep 8 30lb LPG and have retired all my 40 lb tanks. Getting age on me to so switching to dual fuel and 30lb tanks is a winner and believe me I have been doing this for 18 years.

Just like old times

Box was well designed, parts went together easily, wrench was supplied, really cool thread in oil funnel, all parts were present, even full parts listing, instructions were in western English, no Chinglish😀, someone did their homework, only reason for 4/5 stars, need run-time, I am impressed!

WOW

Bought to run my Travel trailer, and for power outages in Hurricane prone Louisiana. Absolutely blown away. Easy set up. Initial start up took three pulls to start up the engine, after that one pull to start. Only hooked up to my Travel Trailer so far and it worked perfectly. Turn on the A/C, Lights, and microwave and it didn’t even miss a beat. Extremely pleased.

EASY solution to keep power running

After the last power outage of 8 hours in 10 degree weather, this generator was top on my list for preparedness. Reasonable price, needed wattage for my house, 20/30 amp, 120/240 - perfect for my home needs. Setup was a breeze, no instructions needed to install wheels and dampers. Adsed the included oil, waited to add fuel until I slowly cycled the pull starter 10 times to get oil to internals. Added a gallon of fuel, turned on the run switch and choke, started on the FIRST PULL. Turned choke off after about 45-50 seconds, engine smoothed out and the voltage hit 120 and leveled in maybe 5 seconds. Flipped to 240, hit voltage in 5 seconds. Let it run another minute, switched back to 120, leveled off in 5 seconds. LOVE the threaded oil funnel and the included 4 stroke oil was exactly the correct amount. As I stated, this generator could not have been easier to set up and get running. WELL worth the price and I don't have to worry about power outages any more.

Perfect for what I need

The feet were hard to install due to the M8 nut on the frame not being either machined properly or aligned to the frame holes. That is my only complaint. Other than that, the rest was simple. I certainly recommend having another hand to help out, this thing is heavy.

My first generator purchase.

We lose power about 6 times a year here and I decided I was tired of it. I googled generator ratings and the Westinghouse was at or near the top of all of them. I have needed it twice already and it ran great, I haven't tried it on propane yet will before long.

Easy to use!

I just bought the WGen5300 after living in Florida my entire life I figured it was about time. We have had a couple multi-day power outages that left everything in the fridge ruined. I plan to use this for the fridge and an AC window unit. I think the set up was rather easy and I was able to get it started on the first pull after turning the choke on. It wouldn’t start leaving it off per the instructions so turn it on and then off right after it kicks on.

Great Generator and value

I just bought this and boy does it have a lot of great features. I have used several gasoline only Generators but it is really nice not to have to store only gas as it goes bad if kept too long. Now I can use the gas or Power my house with propane which is so much easier. Thanks Westinghouse.

A lifesaver after a series of tornadoes

We bought two generators last month after losing power from a series of tornadoes. The dual fuel made it easy to hook up our existing propane tanks. They are easy to start for my wife. Without the generators our sump pump would not have ran and our basement would have flooded. We were able to keep the fridge, freezer and some lights going too without any problem.

Duel Fuel and Running Watts were very important

I bought this in case of power loss due to hurricanes. It was very easy to assemble and easy to move around. I tested it on propane and gas. It worked great on both. The noise level is less than I expected...I am now better prepared for the next hurricane.
