Convenience with dual fuel

After research many kind of portable generator, I decided to purchase Wgen5300dfv with a lot of good features that I need but low price. This generator can run for fridge, fans, portable heater or ac. In special, I can store propane for operating it that is not wory about fire if storing fuel. I am so pleasure with this generator.

Great Features but...

I bought this for my RV. It works very well and has great features such as multiple electrical outlets and runs great on both fuel types. My only 2 complaints are that it is heavier and runs louder than I would have liked. If it was quieter, I would be happier with it. I tested it on both propane and gasoline fuel sources and it ran great on both. I did not put in much fuel (maybe a gallon and a half) and it ran and ran and ran! I feel confident that I can use this while camping and not run out of fuel for a long time.

Perfect for the Home Owner

After searching for about a month, we finally decided to purchase the 5300DFv. Great decision - being in our 70s, we needed a generator we could manage to move around and to provide us with the power that we needed. The fact that it is dual fuel was a added bonus. Thanks!

Great features, and will do everything i need

I have owned multiple small generators, but this is the first dual fuel unit. After assembling it, filling the oil, & gas. I then connected it to my propane tank. Following the instructions in the book, it fired right up. I ran it for an hour, shut it down and let it cool off. Then changed the oil, and restarted the unit. Works like a charm. Seeing how I hopefully do not have to use it to often I added Sta-bil to the tank. shut off the gas and let the unit drain the carb and shut down. NIce generator, and I look forward to many years of use. One note... a past generator I owned did not get run often enough, And the unit is stored in my garage. That unit had the rings rust to the cylinder wall. This time before I let it sit, I will fog the cyl, or add a tablespoon full of Mystery oil and pull the cord to coat the cylinder wall.

Easy to set up & use

Purchased this item after 3 power outages in less than 3 years, each lasting 24hrs+. Delivered within 10 days of purchase. Installed feet and wheels, added oil that was provided and gas. Started right up, no issues. Does seem a bit noisy- but previously we owned a quiet run 2000w. When power is out, a loud generator is least of my worries. Plugged in several items and ran great without bogging down. Dual fuel feature seems like a nice backup plan in case we run out of gasoline, but have not used this feature yet. Overall great product.

Awesome Generator

Bought this generator a year ago in preparation for the next major storm. Generator sat in its box in the shed for a year until Hurricane Helene hit us the other day. Broke out the generator, added the oil that came with it, hooked up the propane, and it fired right up with no issues whatsoever. My WGen5300DFv worked straight out of the box after sitting for a year. I am happy to say I am truly blessed at the performance and power of this model. I was running 2 floor fans, light, 2 refrigerators, and my deep freezer with ZERO ISSUES or Concerns. THANK YOU Westinghouse for an outstanding product. You bailed me out when needed and as I stated before I am truly thankful.

Excellent all purpose generator

Bought this mostly for our 30a RV. Even here at the house we lost power a few weeks ago and could only sit in it (trailer) and run the 12v stuff, mainly lights. We can now run the entire trailer off this one including AC, microwave and over the air tv. I had read it runs a little quieter on propane and after trying both it and gasoline I believe that to be a true statement. With that said I absolutely love having the chance to run either fuel source, always have 13 or 14 gallons of ethanol free gas and 60lbs of propane on hand. Bring on the winter, we are way better prepared than we were before this generator.

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.

Saved my groceries!

I originally bought this generator during the winter when a bad storm was expected. As it turned out we didn't lose power with that storm. However, I had the chance to use this generator a few days ago when a bad thunderstorm rolled through and we were without power for 2 days. Assembly was super easy and the generator powered right up. We were able to keep taking hot showers and keep are of our just purchased groceries nice and cold in the fridge and freezer. We are very happy with our purchase and our first experience using it!
