WGen5300DFcv

Purchased prior to the ice storm but never had to use it because we kept power. Gave it a 5 for the ease of set-up and like the ability to use either gas or a propane tank as the fuel source.

Great for the price

We just bought this for our life storm coming up (about to use it). Love everything so far except the location of where you put in the oil. It’s difficult to get to even with the funnel provided.

Take that hurricanes!

Purrs like you want it to. My 1st generator, I plan to use for emergency use if/when hurricane takes out the power again - so a dual fuel made the most sense. I'll be ok avoiding the lines at the gas pumps when they run out. Little finicky getting the perfect start with propane. Pressure drops and safety regulator kicks on so had to hook / unhook line to clear pressure and took a good amount of should pulls to get it. Might be me - since it's my 1st generator. Buit once I got running it sounds great! Thankfully haven't needed in an emergency situation yet but now have confidence of having power if it happens.

Fantastic Generator

We used this for the first time a few days ago when our power went out for an extended time. We were able to run our fridges and freezers. This unit was priced very well for all that it offers. Would highly recommend. We especially appreciate the dual fuel aspect of it.

Lots of Power

I purchased this product because I needed to power up to three sump pumps simultaneously in case of a power outage. I have been pleased with the product thus far. Its operation is simple; it seems like it will be easy to perform regular maintenance, has a lot of output, and is versatile with three different outlets. I like that it is dual fuel, so I don't have to mess with draining gas every time and can just disconnect the propane tank. Recommend this product.

Perfect Features

In preparation for hurricane season I did extensive research and Westinghouse as a brand was always a top 3 brand. At the moment of purchasing it I wasn't shopping for a generator at the moment but I stumbled upon it and couldn't leave without it. So far we're blessed to not need it but I used it today just for the heck of it and I must say I am impressed by how smooth it is. I only used gasoline but standby for a review after I try it with propane.

Amazing Generator

I got this for two reasons, to run tools and to run my camper about a month ago. When I first started it up it took me only 2 pulls. That has been the case every time since when cold. When warm it is only ever one pull. It is louder than my quiet generator, but still much quieter than most other generators that compare in size. Operation is very simple and I love the ability to change from 120-240. Instructions were great as well. When I put this generator under load it hardly even seems to bog down at all. It has run for 11 hours and I can't wait to keep using it. It is too heavy to load by yourself, but that's to be expected.

Started up easy. Easy to operate,

Very easy start up. Instructions well written. Used a large upright freezer as a constant load, used a Bosch router as a variable load and a LiIon battery charger as another load. Worked with no problems. 30 mins later switched to LP gas, worked the same.

Great little generator

I assembled the wheels and feet, filled it with the included oil and some gas. Choked it and pulled the string. Generator fired right up turned the choke off and it purred like a kitten, maybe a little louder than a kitten… I like the fuel fuel option and I think it will meet my needs just fine.

So Far So Good!

I purchased this generator about 8 months ago. It operates as advertised, and helped us manage power needs through three separate power outages. Powers our fridge, wifi, etc. without issue. The dual fuel option is a plus. Changing the oil is a pain but that's the norm with these small engine units.
