Durable and portable

Bought this generator to help my family through a hurricane and frequent outages. I can say that I'm surprised at how long it works. I usually put 5 gallons of natural gas at a time. Within a 24 hour period I have my refrigerator working and making ice, one or two fans at a time and able to charge my home devices. Ive plugged in my toaster and microwave as well. It is pretty loud on the other hand, but that was expected. I like that it comes with wheels and a handle bar to help maneuver the generator.

Works great - minimal issues

I bought this generator when my old one stopped working. Easy start for the most part and much quieter than my other one. I do have a bit of a concern with where the oil drains. I have this generator on a cart to facilitate oil changes but it pours out on to the frame stabilizing bars rather than out where I can put a jug to collect used oil. I catch most but not all.

WGen5300DFcv Product Review

I had to replace our 32 year old generator. This is the first time that I purchased a product that can use either gasoline or liquid propane, and can be switched on the fly. Nice feature to have if you need to use both in the event of an extended outage. Only thing I plan to add is a weather proof top cover to keep out rain or snow when it is used in the open. Nice to see that technology allowed for a smaller and lighter unit.

overall

Got it about an hour ago , started right up, living in a hurricane prone area I like the duel fuel option. Sometimes it is is hard to get gasoline for a few days. Displays are crisp and easy. Which is important when you are dealing with a generator during a storm. Only negatives helpful if wheels had been attached when I received. It is hard to move the generator from the front porch where it was delivered to a place where I could unpack it and put the wheels and other accessories on , also instruction manual would be nice if instead of illustrations had actual pictures . Easier to follow with actual pictures.

Awesome

I bought this 2weeks ago. Right out of the box it ran in first pull. Easy install of bumpers and wheels. Add the supplied oil hooked it up to propane and first pull start ran perfect. Did the hour break in. No issues. Used it once since and started on first pull and powered tools and air compressor without a hiccup.

The generator saved the day! ..and our basement.

We were without power for what seemed forever. Our sump pump couldn't run and our basement started to take on water. Friends loaned us their Westinghouse generator; it was so quick and easy to prep and power things, that we immediately purchased one of our own.

Everything I want in a generator!!!

I bought this size generator to keep my chest freezer & 2 refrigerators running when south TX starts having " Rolling Blackouts " like Cal. When they designed this model, they added everything. ( I didn't want the battery, electric start. ) The user manual is so easy to understand & with pictures.

Overall the best for the $

i bought this generator a week ago and when I tried to start it for the breaking in run, it started after the second pull of the cord. ran for the one hour with no problems. i used propane to test it and the only thing that concerns me is that during the entire hour there was a steady popping sound.

Easy instructions

I just received this generator two days ago. The instructions to install was very easy. All equipment was supplied. I have not been able to use it yet. The box was a little tattered at the bottom but was secured by the zip line. The price was good. I’m excited about having it since I live in Florida.

Great generator

Used our Westinghouse 5300 for the first time after we lost power with hurricane Beryl. We opted to use the propane since we had several full tanks. Easy setup and startup. Very satisfied. It ran like a champ and powered our freezer and a couple fans in the house with no issues at all. One can of propane lasted about 10 hours.
