Great value

I am very pleased that I was able to buy a Westinghouse generator!! They had just what I needed which was a gasoline propane dual generator After looking up and seeing how well Westinghouse is rated and Sam’s club had it featured it was a no-brainer and now I’m ready to go with my generator whenever I want thanks Westinghouse

Solid Purchase

I recently purchased this generator and am very happy with it. The build quality is good. I put in the oil and some fuel and it started on the first pull. It is easy to use. I bought for emergency use and it should be capable to running all the appliances in my house. I was concerned it might get beat up in shipping based on other reviews, but fedex delivered it in good shape. My only complaint (which is minor) - the oil drain plug is located directly over the lower support of the frame. Oil changes could be messy as there is not enough room to fit a pan between the plug and frame and oil will drain directly on the frame.

Too early to tell but seems well built

Easy assembly All the parts came with it as promised and were in logical packaging with instructions Took longer to start than I'd hoped but once started it ran well. VERY fuel efficient. Ran it fo 3 hours on less than a gallon on the oil that came with it then changed to synthetic. Wheels around well. Pleasantly surprised on the noise level. A good size for its power capacity. The only concern is that the "pulsed" more than I thought ideal and seems to struggle to power a 1500W space heater (no fan). Hopefully it will be OK. Ed

Great Quality and Ease of Use

I bought the WGen5300DFv back in January, anticipating future power outages due to California's continuing fire issues. Fortunately, I have had to use the generator only on one occasion. However, the fire season is just beginning. After careful reading of the well written instructions about safety and setup, I test fired it up to be ready of its emergency use which came a few months later. I was able to power all of my basic household needs during a 22 hour outage. I found the unit to be reasonably quiet, smooth running and efficient. I would definitely recommend this generator to anyone looking for a quality unit.

Easy to set up & use

Purchased this item after 3 power outages in less than 3 years, each lasting 24hrs+. Delivered within 10 days of purchase. Installed feet and wheels, added oil that was provided and gas. Started right up, no issues. Does seem a bit noisy- but previously we owned a quiet run 2000w. When power is out, a loud generator is least of my worries. Plugged in several items and ran great without bogging down. Dual fuel feature seems like a nice backup plan in case we run out of gasoline, but have not used this feature yet. Overall great product.

Reliable, plenty of power

I bought this generator to supply power to my water well while I waited for the power company to provide power to my property. I used it several times a week to run the well pump (240 volts, not sure of wattage) for up to an hour or 2 at a time. It was flawless in the middle of the coldest time of the year. Very easy starting on gasoline. I did not have a need or opportunity to try the propane option. The generator was also used to power some power tools as I had a shed built and performed without a hitch. And gas "mileage" was great too!

Duel fuel

Gotas my first generator was impressed that it was dual fuel. Tried to start it with propane. Would not start .when you turn the propane off then turn the machine over. It seem like it wanted to start. Turn gas on. Wouldn't start. If it was just run on propane alone I would give it five stars

WGEN5300DFcv

We have had to use this at least 3 times since we bought it and it is awesome runs a good amount of time on propane. It works great and is quiet for a generator. Runs 2 refrigerators, kitchen plugs and a large fan. It will probably do more but haven't needed it yet.

Reliable start, good power, and dual fuel option!

I bought this generator about a year and a half ago. It has consistently started and run great! At purchase the propane regulator was faulty, but Westinghouse was easy to work with and quick to send a new regulator which solved the problem. The generator has run great ever since!
