Just as Expected

Generator arrived clean and well packaged. Assembly of wheels and feet was a breeze. (Dont forget to add included engine oil) Filled the gas tank and it fired up easily. Now I cant wait to lose power in the next storm so I can turn on all my lights and show off to the neighborhood.

Love It So Far!

I just bought this Friday, and received it today. I installed the included wheels and feet, and poured in the included oil (even came with a spout, that screws into the oil fill, so you don't make a mess). After attaching the regulator and hose to a propane cylinder, it started right up without any problems. I checked the output voltage, and it was right on the money at 120/240 volts. It also came with a little pouch that has a small double ended wrench, and a spark plug wrench. Stuff like the hose and tools are a bonus, not always seen, and much appreciated. Overall,I am a happy camper!

WGen5300DFcv Dual Fuel Portable Generator

I recently purchased this generator to supply power to our travel trailer while we wait for the installation of electrical poles on our property and the construction of our new home. So far, this generator has successfully powered our travel trailer without any issues. One improvement I would recommend for this model is to include a remote start option, as I have trouble starting it with the starter pulley. Like many others, I lack the upper body strength needed for this task. Additionally, a slightly quieter operation would be appreciated. Nonetheless, the Westinghouse generator was purchased due to its significantly lower noise level compared to our diesel generator.

Easy peasy

I just bought it and it is extremely easy to set up and the instructions are very simple. The only thing I wish the would do is every time they say” don’t do this or that” explain why or what will happen if you do. After set up I did just like the directions said for setting up one of the two power sources ( gas or propane ) I pulled the start 1 time and it started right up. I do wish this model had an electric start though. Very well built.

BEWARE!! Piece of junk that will not start

I bought this generator before Hurricane Ian hit Florida. After the hurricane I tried to start it and was unable to. I followed the starting instructions to the letter. I finally was able to start it the following day after trying for over an hour. When I had to turn it off to change propane tanks, it would not start again. I tried for 2 hours. It is ridiculous it is that difficult to start this machine. Never again will I buy a pull start generator. Beyond frustrated!

Great product

This is a nice and compact generator, and it does not take up much room in my garage. The generator is well-built, 5300 running watts is perfect for my needs. The reason we purchased this generator is because we lost power for 5 days due to Hurricane Milton.

Great Generator for the price!

Dual fuel options. Mobile kit with wheels and pull bar included. Oil, screw-in oil filler funnel, a wrench for final assembly, spark plug wrench, everything needed to connect to propane, and a case for the tools - all included! Along with all its other features, what more could you ask for?

Great Features

I got this model because of the dual fuel options. Having ability to hook up propane has added a great feeling of security. I primarily purchased to run my mom’s oxygen condenser during outages. It’s perfect having that extra margin of available fuel.

Great Price and good features

This is a must in Southern California where the power utilities like to cut power at the slightest breeze. Much easier for them than fixing their equipment. This gives us enough power for our essentials and keeps us from losing our food in extended outages. Love the dual fuel!

Good start

Just unpacked the gen and set it up. No issues there, very straight forward instructions. The generator started right away. I purchased this for emergencies and I hope I don't need to use for that purposes only. I do have other uses for it. The oil fill method could be improved, it already has an attachment but it could be a little longer to be able to use it in a 90 degree angle. Another thing that needs improvement is the packaging, there are dents in the tubular frame but it is not affecting performance, all other components look fine.
