Started up easy. Easy to operate,

Very easy start up. Instructions well written. Used a large upright freezer as a constant load, used a Bosch router as a variable load and a LiIon battery charger as another load. Worked with no problems. 30 mins later switched to LP gas, worked the same.

Preparing for Hurricane Season

I purchased this generator for Hurricane Season. It has great features...The variety of outlets is great, especially the one that will allow power to be transferred to the house! The handle and wheels will make it very convenient to move it outside easily for use. I haven't used it yet, and I'm hoping I wont need to...Hopefully it performs as well as I expect it will...Here's to an uneventful Hurricane Season!!!

Really happy with this generator!

I bought the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv a few weeks ago and I’m really impressed. It was easy to set up and started right away. I love that it runs on both gas and propane. That’s super convenient during a storm when gas can be hard to find. It powered my fridge, lights, Wi-Fi, and even a portable AC without any problems. It’s not too loud for its size and the wheels make it easier to move around. Everything feels solid and well built. Honestly, for the price, it gives you a lot of peace of mind. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a reliable backup power source.

Very good quality, excellent value.

User manual is very precise. Excellent figures. Easy to assemble generator. Generator is built very well. Operation is not complicated. We will use LPG as our primary fuel source. I like the option to be able to use gasoline as well. We purchased this generator to be used to power our indoor portable air conditioners, refrigerator and lights in case we have a power outage. I am very please with this product.

Great Generator that checks all the boxes

We just bought this generator and it is a charm. Cranks easily, runs very well on both gasoline and on propane. While seeming to be a more compact generator (compared to our old one that has less power) this one has quite a good amount of power for everything we would need to use it for. All in all, extremely satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend!

Excellent!

I love the dual fuel. I mostly have used propane and it doesn't give off a lot of fumes. My BBQ grill gives off more. It starts right up with about 3 pulls. I can run my fridge, sump pump, floor freezer in garage, 2 TV's, 4 lamps and two desktop computers with zero issues. Its not as loud as I thought it would be as my past generators were. Love the wheels and handle. Very simple to move around and place. I have 3 - 20LB propane tanks. I can run this for days.

Duel fuel! So amazing!

We bought this bought this after loosing a ton of meat in our freezer when the power was out for a week during the hurricane. Glad to have piece of mind now when purchasing frozen items. The Duel fuel feature is awesome! We may not always have extra gas around, especially if it's not grass cutting season, but we always have at least one full propane tank. I didn't even know they had generators that ran on propane! Very happy with our purchase!

Nice Generator

I bought this to connect to a 30 AMP 220v Transfer switch. It powers 3 5000btu A/c units, refrigerator, freezer, wifi, television and a 220v pool pump all running at once with power to spare. To energize a 4500 watt water heater temporally shutting the transfer switch breakers off to all circuits and then turning the hot water heater circuit on from the generator allows the h/w heater to energize and reheat the hot water.

Take that hurricanes!

Purrs like you want it to. My 1st generator, I plan to use for emergency use if/when hurricane takes out the power again - so a dual fuel made the most sense. I'll be ok avoiding the lines at the gas pumps when they run out. Little finicky getting the perfect start with propane. Pressure drops and safety regulator kicks on so had to hook / unhook line to clear pressure and took a good amount of should pulls to get it. Might be me - since it's my 1st generator. Buit once I got running it sounds great! Thankfully haven't needed in an emergency situation yet but now have confidence of having power if it happens.

Great Generator

I just purchased this generator and got it out of the box and set up today. Setup was easy just had to put a couple feet on the front and 2 wheels on the back then attach the propane hose. I started it up for the first time today using a propane tank. I opened the choke and it started on the second pull no problem. Seems to function just fine so far. I will update the review after I have a few hours on it but so far I am happy with this purchase and have no issues at all.
