We use the Westinghouse 5300dfv when we boondock at the lake or at a place where there is no power hookups. Works great to charge batteries and run the ac when needed. Also it is a great price point for what it is. It's not quiet but it's also not that loud from 25 feet away.

The instructions on how to set up & start the generator were easy to read & understand. Very little work was needed to do this. There were no issues with adding fluid EXCEPT the enclosed funnel (needed to add the oil) should be a couple of inches longer to make it easier. The funnel, when attached, is at a low angle making spills possible. I needed to have a rag under the funnel when adding oil to catch any spillage.

We bought the generator during a power outage at our home. We took the unit out of the box, put gas and oil in it and had power to our house in just a few minutes. The unit stared the first pull of the cord. I am very pleased with our purchase. Westing house has the best products!

I just received my new generator, and after a quick assembly, I have it running. I am looking forward to using this thing. I would give it 5 stars, but I could not find anything in the literature that told me how much oil the crankcase holds. And the oil funnel is about an inch too short for my preference.

Bought this before a big snow a week ago. Great instructions on set up and precautions. Worked great once it started and that was the only issue. It took about 30 minutes to start. After 30 minutes of sweat and frustration, it fired right up and haven’t had any issues since. Highly recommended.

The initial set up for my WGen5300DFv was very quick and simple. All needed tools included with it. Started right up on LP gas for the first trial run. The next day it started first pull with 1/2 gal of gas in the tank, on which it ran for well over the hour break-in. Quieter than other open frame gensets I have been around, even under load. Love the dual fuel capability, as well as the fuel shut-off and especially the built in carburetor bowl drain feature to prepare for storage after running on gasoline.

My fiancee and I bought this generator before hurricane season in 2023 but luckily didn't need it until Hurricane Helene hit Florida in 2024. Was able to power our RV and run an extension cord to our neighbors house to keep their refrigerator running. Definity one of the smartest purchases I've ever made!

Bought this generator recently so haven't had a chance to put it into practical use during an outage yet. Setup and assembly was easy, motor cranked easily with just a couple of pulls on both gasoline and propane fuel settings. Plugged light into generator to test power production. Ran generator for approximately 2 hours with no problems. Seems to work well and is easy to operate.

I bought this unit during a recent power outage. This one was the perfect size and offered the dual fuel option, which is critical for my purposes. I have so far put 30 hours on it and it has run flawlessly. I am only using propane at this time, but it was very easy to start and provided adequate power for all the items I needed to run. I got around 10-12 hours on a typical 20lb grill tank.

We suffer from constant power outages, that seem to get worse every year. This thing was absolutely perfect for us. Powered 2 refrigerators, a few lights, and our coffee maker with no issue. I just need to get a transfer switch installed to make it easier so we don't have extension cords running all over the house.
