We recently purchased a Westinghouse 5300 and it performed perfectly during power outages here in So. Cal. But, we needed more coverage to complete our disaster preparedness plan so we bought a second 5300 generator to really give our family the protection and peace of mind. This one's Dual Fuel - so Propane and Gas and that for sure gives us additional options. Feature packed and simple to use - great small generators.

I bought this generator after a 13 hour power outage . I have 2 houses on my property and only had one generator so I let my daughter use it on her house. I am excited to have a propane generator because that takes away any chance of the carb gumming up from gas setting in the bowl, also its difficult to find non ethanol fuel in our area. I dont want another storm to show up but if it does I will be better prepared.

I bought this last month and had never had any experience with generators. Was amazingly easy to assemble ; directions were clear and easy to understand. Everything I needed to start things up were there (including oil!). Tested everything without a hitch; just waiting for the power to go out. Would highly recommend .

I bought this in 2020. There was a recall initially but the company took care of everything and ended up sending me a brand new unit. This unit is incredible. Use gas or LP and the ease of switching between sources is a major plus. The unit is quiet (for a generator) and gives enough power for whatever you need. Great purchase!

I bought this for emergency use. Our water well pump requires 240v and this generator is a good deal. I can run water pump, central air/heater, a refrigerator, freezer, tv and desktop at the same time. One thing I like most about it is that I can connect the L14-30R outlet directly to my breaker which I can use both 120V and 240V simultaneously. Easy start. Love the already built in feature to allow me run either on gas or propane.

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.

I purchased a WGEN5300DFcv portable generator a few days ago and I've been very impressed with it so far. After the initial setup, it started easily and ran flawlessly for a few minutes. My initial test was using gasoline. I'll try the propane sometime but I need to purchase a propane tank first. I'm impressed with the quality and now I'll be ready the next time we lose power. I also plan to use it when I used corded power tools on the areas of my property that are too far for a cord to reach. Great product!

The 5300 Dual Fuel generator is very user friendly with all controls being very easily identified as to what their function is, and operating instructions are very visible on the generator itself and easy to understand. The wheels are sturdy and of sufficient size to make moving the generator quite easy, and the folding handles allow the generator to occupy less storage space. I chose this generator with a pull-type starter so that I would not have to be concerned about keeping a battery charged on a generator with electric start. I follow the starting instructions and the generator has consistently started on the third pull, even when starting cold. I am pleased with my purchase.

Runs and powers a few things. This will keep my refrigerator and freezer going as well as lights and some small space heaters. Should run the water heater if I turn the refrigerator and freezer off during the process. Came with a broken spark plug boot (igniter kit assembly part #50100022), but may have been dropped in transit, as it seems an axle was a little bent, but I expect Westinghouse will send a replacement boot. It fired up right away once I glued and taped the boot together for a break-in run. Some LED lights in the house flicker with generator motor variations, but I expect you would need an inverter generator if you were picky about that. Some LED’s do not handle even small voltage variations very well.

We purchased this generator prior to Hurricane Ian. We live in Southwest Florida in Port Charlotte. We used this product daily for 7 days, running 10 hours a day. We powered kitchen fridge and a power strip. The power strip was used to charge phones and run fans.
