Not running on propane

I tried to test the generator using propane, but it would not start. It tried, but backfired and would never start. I had my tank refilled, but I still had the same issue, so I switched to gasoline. I got a backfire again, but then it started. It did not run as smooth as I expected, but I did not have any load on it. Not sure if this is normal or not.

Great little generator

I assembled the wheels and feet, filled it with the included oil and some gas. Choked it and pulled the string. Generator fired right up turned the choke off and it purred like a kitten, maybe a little louder than a kitten… I like the fuel fuel option and I think it will meet my needs just fine.

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.

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.

Preparation for Florida hurricanes

After reviewing several generator options I decided on this model as it fit mu budget and should run our fridge, freezer, TV, a few small fans, and our phone chargers without a large strain. I ran a small test to ensure it works and to gain familiarity with the unit rather than learning during an emergency. The unit is easy to use and provides the power we require. I'm glad I bought the unit after the last three years of storms (lost power for almost two days last year and the same three years ago) although like buying insurance, you hope to never need it!

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.
