Wow, Great generator, feature rich, yes pull start

Westinghouse Generator Dual fuel, model WGen5300DFv. Received November 7, 2020 Took photos all sides before unboxing. Noticed no damage. Assembled the generator per instructions. Went great, tools provided. Levered stationery end up, rolled into my basement. Another possibility of a storm, so I need to do the break-in run. Filled with correct oil and quantity, funnel provided. Added gasoline. Ready to run. Opened fuel valve, verified gasoline not propane, ON, 120V, choke on, started on first pull. Let it warm a bit. Turning choke off. Walking around looking noticed air filter latch loose, not camed-over tight. I tried latching it a couple times only to discover the latch was broken. The rivet was bent in the middle and not long enough to go through the lever where it pivots from. Pulled the rivet down to see if I could straighten it. I was disappointed, don’t know if I can get a replacement latch and rivet. I am satisfied with the cranking, displays power, reasonable quite, like my push lawn mower. I checked it out with some lights and a circular saw. Didn’t phase the governor. So we have enough for emergency power needs. I have a much smaller generator and it would support a freezer and refrigerator, nothing else. We need more than that for colder weather.

Quick and easy set and use

Set up was quick and easy, put on 2 feet and 2 wheels, install oil with provided funnel. Wish the funnel, which screws in(nice feature) was a tad longer. Put i 4 gallons of gas , set choke, 3 pulls and it fired right up. Supplies all that I need for temp power outage. 2 standard house plugs, 1 RV plug, 1 quick connect (which with a converter cable from big box store will get you 3 more standard household plugs. I ran a small room heater, gameconsole, internet modem and cell phone charges no issues. Great addition to my security in case of a power outage.

Perfect generator

I bought this a few weeks ago and couldn’t be happier with my decision. It offers the perfect amount of power to run my Fridge, chest freezer, internet, tv’s, charge phones etc. I plan on strictly using propane to avoid the hassle of storing and rotating gas.

Perfect for our current needs!

Already assembled, just had to put on tires and mounting feet. Oil was provided, so put that in with some ethanol-free gas; followed easy instructions, and the generator started right up. We ran it for approximately 10 minutes on gas but have not tried propane yet. Excited to use it as backup power for home next time we need. So far, very pleased.

Did exactly what I wanted it to do.

I bought this because we were going to have a bad ice storm and I needed it in the event the power went out and that's exactly what happened. This generator saved the day. It ran 2 space heaters, a lamp, and my refrigerator for 3 days. Great deal for the price.

Quiet running easy to start

Very happy with generator, when I looking to purchase a generator this one had a high rating now I understand why. The easy start quiet running is a seller, the duel fuel is plus for me. Being 63, Westinghouse and electric went together growing up. This is why I tried this generator, now I'm glad I did.

I bought the generator a day ago and looking at all the reviews on this particular generator I really like what I’ve seen. I don’t have too much time with this generator but it’s gonna run my trailer RV very well. It’s got all the power I need for my RV, love it

Duel Fuel Generator

I bought this generator in July in preperation for hurricane season. Thankfully we have not had to use it for that yet. But we are prepared in case it is needed. I like that we have the option to use gasoline or a propane bottle because sometimes those gas lines are super long after a storm.

Great Features

I just purchased and I am doing the break in. I am impressed with the wattage output for the size of the generator, which just fits under my truck bed cover. It would have been nice to have a inverter model for the sound but it will work great for boondocking with my RV. Plus duel fuel is great

Very happy with my purchase

I bought this generator because the electric company was going to be doing some routine maintenance in my area, and sure thing this generator took care of my two refrigerators so I would not have to worry about them defrosting all my food. This generator is very affordable and it feels heavy duty. I am using it with propane so no worries about leaving gas in the unit. I will put it away for now, but I’m ready for next power outage. Thank you Westinghouse for the great product that will take care of my needs for years to come.
