After reviewing several generators, we chose this one because of the durability of the brand and customer reviews. We started it and it ran fine and it was not as loud as some of the others. Since then we have used it several times and it has not failed us yet. We plan to use it for years to come.

Runs and powers a few things. This will keep my refrigerator and freezer going as well as lights and some small space heaters. Should run the water heater if I turn the refrigerator and freezer off during the process. Came with a broken spark plug boot (igniter kit assembly part #50100022), but may have been dropped in transit, as it seems an axle was a little bent, but I expect Westinghouse will send a replacement boot. It fired up right away once I glued and taped the boot together for a break-in run. Some LED lights in the house flicker with generator motor variations, but I expect you would need an inverter generator if you were picky about that. Some LED’s do not handle even small voltage variations very well.

I purchased the WGen5300DFcv portable generator in preparation for storms along the Florida gulf coast. Setting up the wheels and handle was very easy although the generator is quite heavy. Box included everything needed to get up and running including motor oil and fill funnel. Tested the new generator using propane and it started right up and worked as expected. Documentation packet includes everything you could possibly want to know about the product which seems rare these days.

Very fine piece of machinery. Started up with the first pull. Not too loud, but I really like the dual fuel flexibility this generator offers. I'm not quite looking forward to my next episode of an electrical outage, but at least now I'm confident I will be able to maintain my home with the power from this generator.

This was a gift to me for Mother's Day from my stepdad. I haven't used it yet since I just got it, but I will update this review when I do. I'm thrilled that it can be run with either gas or propane. Living in Orlando, this will be a huge lifesaver during hurricane season. I'm prepared this year!!!

We have been losing power alot lately keeps our freezers and fridge going. We have a shop no power able to take care of everything inside. Camping it's awesome. Job sites with no power awesome. With times the way they are buy one now before your sorry.

I haven't had an opportunity to actually start my generator up, but I'm excited about all the possible features available for fuel and power sources. It looks to be solid construction. I look forward to enjoying all of its' benefits of being ready for the storms!

Me and hubs are bracing for this hurricane 🌀 Idalia to come towards us on the Gulf Coast. I love how sturdy this is. I also love the price on this bad boy. We're not wishing to lose power, but you me and everybody knows when you lose power for days, sweating your bum off, burning out the candles, boredom after an hour with your crazy family. Lol no coffee, and last but not least, trying to lock in the cool air in the fridge 😎. Yea. stoked to have this generator with the free cover

I bought this in case of power loss due to hurricanes. It was very easy to assemble and easy to move around. I tested it on propane and gas. It worked great on both. The noise level is less than I expected...I am now better prepared for the next hurricane.

Completed the 1 hour breakin and tested under load, works as advertised. Good instructions for startup and operation. Wish they would explain why not to switch between 120/240 while running. I see nothing in the schematic that would hurt anything if there is no load (I'm an engineer). Only problem I have had is I can not get it started when on propane. Even after running on propane it will not restart on propane. Need to use ether starting fluid or switch to gasoline. Perhaps I am too much of a girley man to pull it hard enough. An electric start option would be good.
