The only bad thing i have found so far is both of the blue covers (alternator and pull cord) definitely get beat up during packaging. the box looked perfect but both have some dents and paint chipping. other than that it's smaller than i expected and meets all of my requirements. if i have issues i'll update my review, but the setup was easy.

Bought this to power my house via a transfer switch in case of an emergency. At 5000W, it doesn't power my whole house (which I knew) but it does keep the essentials going. For the price, I'm extremly pleased with this product. Westinghouse. A brand I trust.

Added engine oil, connected hose to propane tank, turn the switch on, open the tank port, pull started the generator easily. The noise is at reasonable level. Do not have a chance to test it under load yet. Waiting for electrician to come install the transfer switch.

Purchased the WGen5300DFv to have available in case winter storms get bad this year. This model has everything we needed out of the box - including an oil funnel, which is a great feature I'm pleased to see added, and the LP hose and regulator. Very difficult to find this feature set in a dual fuel model at such a great price point. I plan to use the unit with extension cords, but with the L14-30 outlet you can easily connect directly to your home panel, which we might do in the future. Load testing went great and the generator didn't skip a beat. You need to be prepared for the noise - open frame traditional generators are not known for being quiet, but that should come with the territory if you're buying a generator, so this was not unexpected. So far maintenance has been pretty easy as far as the first oil change, although I recommend making a custom funnel to direct the oil out of the drain plug to ease cleanup. I'm satisfied with the features and power of the unit, and if we need it for an emergency, I'm convinced it will perform as expected without issue.

We originally bought this because we were expecting a hurricane but it shifted so we were very blessed, we ended up getting several inches of snow (in Texas) and our family members electricity went out so we put the generator together and ran it over to their house along with a heater and extension cord, we filled it with gas and it started up easily, it done a wonderful job and kept them warm all night. And it wasn’t extremely loud either. If you are thinking about buying one do no hesitate.

Got this for a hard freeze in December. Luckily didn't need it, but went ahead and tested thoroughly and "broke" it in like the instructions recommended. Ran our full size refrigerator, short deep freeze, a floor lamp and both of our FlashFish portable power stations for later use. Did that for 6+ hours and everything worked great and the FlashFish got a full charge just as if they were plugged into the home A/C. Love it and the fact that we didn't spend thousands on a Generac that's only needed occasionally. And feel some much more secure now with possible future Southeast Texas outages from hard freezes and/or hurricanes.

We bought this unit earlier this month. Easy setup. You do have to attach the wheels and unfortunately, our wheels did not match. We notified customer service and they promptly sent out a new wheel assembly. This is the reason for the 4 star review. Overall, we are happy with the unit.

There are lots of different generator brands out there and a warranty is worthless if the company is no longer in business so I went with Westinghouse due to their existence since 1886! This paid off immediately as the generator arrived damaged and a single call to a helpful agent had a replacement on its way the same day. The replacement arrived OK and was very easy to unpack, assemble, and set up. A quick test run and break in finished my emergency preparations. This generator is for emergency use and I'm confident that when the time comes it will ready to go to work.

after a bad storm "derecho" lost power for seven days after the third day decided to find someplace that had a generator and we got lucky not knowing a darn thing about generators this was so easy to use and work and ran great and did what we needed it to do for us.

After going 9 days without power after Hurricane Beryl ravaged Houston and having to borrow my friends generator, I promised to buy one as soon as they were back in stock. The generator was super easy to put together! I appreciate that it comes with the tools and funnel needed to add oil and do basic maintenance. It’s very straightforward to use as well. This was the only generator of this size that I could find that offered duel fuel capability and was still reasonably priced. It fired up easily, switches between the two fuel sources seamlessly, and is quieter than some generators I’ve dealt with. Hopefully we won’t have to use it any time soon but it’s nice having the peace of mind that we’ll be able to power our necessities should we lose power again.
