Easy to use

I just bought my WGen5300. So far everything has been very easy to use & self explanatory (but definitely read the directions). The wheels & legs were super easy to attach. My friend has one & it’s worked great for him. I like the ability to switch from propane to gas. I will be using natural gas.

Nicely packaged generator with plenty of power.

Just bought it and tested it for the first time. Started right up. The reason I bought this model was that it was dual fuel and does not require having gasoline stored for long periods of time. It also has sufficient power to backup all my fridges and freezer, easily. I didn't see the same power model in electric start but this one starts easily with a pull. I would call it intermediate in size. It moves easily on it's wheels and 2 people can lift it into a truck if necessary. I would recommend it for someone interested in a mid priced but yet powerful dual fuel generator.

Dual Fuel Option

I bought this model due to the dual fuel and 30 amp RV outlet. Having the ability to run this generator on either gasoline or propane was a major factor in selecting this generator. The initial test was done using propane, started up on the 4th or 5th pull and the noise level is adequate for a generator this size.

Great Dual Fuel Unit

My wife bought this for me as a Christmas present. The dual fuel option is great so that I don’t need to keep large amounts of gasoline on hand. Spare propane tanks are easy and convenient to have around for grill and fire pit. The unit had a dented alternator cover but customer service helped me register the unit and get a new cover shipped after confirming the unit worked correctly. I recommend this product for your emergency power needs. Easy to operate. Good to have for charging items when power is out.

wgen5300DFv

Everything I was looking for in a generator for a small home, especially the dual fuel feature. Very well written owner's manual. excellent easy to understand step by step instructions and safety warnings. Started easy and makes less noise than my lawnmower. looking forward to completing the total break-in and first time real use.

Came out the box damaged.

With how expensive these products are there should be no excuse for why this came out of the box with this much damage. I want to make very clear that there was no visible damage to the box itself so it would seem the damage was done pre-packaging they just wrapped it up and put it in there anyways. I always liked Westinghouse generators this is my third one but it strongly has me reconsidering going with a different brand. I still have to try to fire it up to check and make sure there's no actual damage to the generator itself.

love the dual feature

I purchased this a month ago and we had a horrific snow storm. It saved us a freezer full of meat! what I love the most is that it is easy to maneuver being on wheels and that it has the feature of using either propane or gasoline. This was the best purchase I've made i a long time.

Works great

Bought this generator yesterday. Put oil in it, hooked it up to propane and it started right up. Ran the break in period yesterday, hooked it up to my RV today. Had enough power to run both my AC and microwave. Very pleased and cannot wait to have it on my hunting trip next month.

Seems good on first start up

Just bought this generator to keep a few things running in case of power outages, especially our sump pump. It came with everything it was supposed to come with. The instructions were very easy to follow and it ready in about a half hour. Adding the engine oil was a little bit of a pain with the supplied funnel, found it easier to tip the unit a little backwards to make it easier. Started on the second pull. I will give it a full test to verify my 5 star rating

Good value, great finish, will change to 5 star

Generator quality out of the box is much better than my previous one. If the problem I describe doesn't repeat I would give this 5 stars for the value. Fired right up on propane, dowever I had to stop about 20 minutes into break in and when I tried to restart on propane I could not get it to run, would just sputter and die. Switched to gas and started right up. Hoping this was just due to break in and will not run into this problem in the future.
