Westinghouse Generator

The Westinghouse Generator I purchased was the WGen5300DFv. This generator has what I was looking for; dual fuel (gas and propane) with a pull chord to start. The price was excellent and a great value. This will be used as a backup generator in case of power outages. The wattage is enough to power most of the items in the house. Would definitely recommend!!

Great Features and Easy To Read Panels

After multiple power outages, we needed a generator to power our essential appliances and smaller gadgets. This model covered those items with ease! Love the multiple outlet options, easy to read panel, and it came with wheels. It was a great investment for the family!

Exactly what I needed

I have a sub-panel installed on my house so if the power goes out, I can hook up a generator and run my essentials, HV/AC, fridge, and sump pumps. Power doesn't go out very often so I wanted a generator that ran on something other than gas so that the fuel doesn't go bad in the tank waiting to be used. Propane never goes bad so this is perfect! Work great to power my camper as well at sites where there is no power.

Good value for the money.

I bought this generator in May 2021 for use as backup power for my house and for powering my travel trailer on camping trips where there are no hookups. Upon unboxing and adding gas, the unit fired right up on the first pull. The unit has 6500 peak watts and 5300 running watts. We took it on a camping trip and it was able to power our 15K btu AC unit, and we ran our microwave at the same time. It is a large fairly loud unit that creates a lot of power. It does not have an Eco mode so it puts out full power all the time and uses a lot of gas. What's a great feature is that it also runs on propane as it comes (although it puts out a little less power on propane). In my test on a propane tank it ran fine. In all I think that with the power it delivers, the 3 year warranty, and the fact that it runs on propane, the unit is a great value and that I made a good decision in my purchase.

Worked out perfectly!

Finally decided out little family needed a generator in case we lost power due to an ice storm. We haven't gotten to use it for that reason yet, but getting it set up and testing it out it has worked great. We think it's exactly what we need to make sure we can have some things powered if we lose electricity. Mainly it will help keep our family's bearded dragon safe and warm!

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.

Awesome generator!

We finally got to use the generator for hurricane Idelia. Started with only one pull (for my husband). Ran for hours without a glitch. Love the fact that we can chose propane or gas. We feel much more at ease with two more months of hurricane season this year.

Excellent convenience

I got the WGen300DFv out of an emergency because my old generator started to fail and I needed off-site power. I was planning on returning it once my old generator was serviced and up and running but instead I found myself loving my new generator. This is definitely going on my RV when I go camping and its going on my truck when I need power off-site. Great product.

It works!

I'm being asked to leave this review to receive a free cover. I've only had this thing a few days but everything works as expected. I have no complaints of any significance to speak of. I ran it for an hour to break it in and tested it with a small load. It starts on the first pull when on gasoline and it takes a few tries on propane. I purchased this because my former Champion failed to start after a decade or so of use and also because you just can't buy generators these days. Everyone is out of stock. Anyway, I hope they let me revise my answers later after I've had a chance to use it.

Easy Setup / Easy Run right out of the box.

Add wheels, add no skid feet, gas up, oil up (takes nearly whole bottle...FYI), cranks right up. If it goes out after a couple minutes, it is likely in need of more oil. Check it on level surface with dipstick until you add enough to show on the stick.
