Great for 30amp RV

WGen5300DFv, This generator ran all my electrical needs at one time pulling 3000watts like it was nothing. I hooked up my autotransformer Guard Dog surge protector it detected no faults and I was able to see the load in watts and amps put on the generator every time we added an appliance to the electrical load. For the price you get a three year warranty from the manufacture. I love the dual fuel option I only use propane it keeps the generator lighter and I don't have to worry about draining the fuel from the carburetor. The only thing I can complain about is it's not a quiet generator but I knew that when I bought it. It is a Great Value we placed the generator on the back driver side corner. We could sit out front under the awning and have normal conversation without raising our voices but you can hear the droning on of the generator in the background. Plus now we have a generator at the house for power outages so far I would recommend the Wgen5300DFv for an RV and a back up power plan in a power outage! (I hope to post an update after about 6 months or a year of usage)

Better safe than sorry

I bought it when my area was threatened with a hurricane. Chose to be ready. Although storm shifted I was ready. This thing is heavy. Was easy to install tires and the attached handle made it easy to move. Oil filler spout could have been longer. I attempted to start the generator on propane at first. It started, sputtered and backfired several times. I then put gasoline and the generator started right up. After it was warm, I switched back over to propane and it worked fine. Don’t know why it didn’t initially start with propane.

Easy setup

We haven’t needed to use it yet, but it was very easy to put the wheels and feet on. The owner’s manual gives a lot of information. One thing I wish was included was a packing list with amounts for each item. The manual said to verify we had all pieces, but it’s hard to verify if you’re not positive how many of each piece should be included.

Makes Electricity!

The key thing is that it works, and it makes electricity when needed. I love the dual fuel feature, but so far have never used anything but propane. It takes a few pulls to get it started (likely flushing air out until the propane gets to the engine). I got it as a backup after the issues with the Texas electric grid. But, it is handy to power electric tools at the far end of the property where it is too far to realistically string extension cords. I haven't had a generator before, but now it seems like something that I don't want to ever be without.

Cool little power plant

I’ve owned several generators in my life, big and small, read the reviews about this one, decided to give it a try, I’m very happy with my purchase, it’s not too big and heavy, but it’s all there, quality parts, best of all I like the ability to use it on LP Gas or regular gas, it’s extremely quite, and will serve my needs for years to come I may buy couple more for my son and daughter, good thing to have, even if you don’t use it but once a quarter

Great Quality and Ease of Use

I bought the WGen5300DFv back in January, anticipating future power outages due to California's continuing fire issues. Fortunately, I have had to use the generator only on one occasion. However, the fire season is just beginning. After careful reading of the well written instructions about safety and setup, I test fired it up to be ready of its emergency use which came a few months later. I was able to power all of my basic household needs during a 22 hour outage. I found the unit to be reasonably quiet, smooth running and efficient. I would definitely recommend this generator to anyone looking for a quality unit.

High quality and great value

Had stored brand new in box since 2021 until a bad storm not too long ago. Was a dream to run as far as power and ease went. Especially since I used propane. Plenty of power, maybe too much for ALOT of people's needs but that also created versatility, either way Westinghouse has a generator that will suit your needs very affordably and efficiently.

Very versatile and heavy duty

I haven't had to use this in an emergency yet, but fired it up on propane to test it out and was very impressed with easy of set-up, use and transportability. It's a heavy unit, but wheels and handle make it fairly easy to move around. Would definitely recommend for a little peace of mind.

Hurricane Ian Recovery

We are very pleased with this generator. We bought this right before Hurricane Ian made landfall to SWFL. We live in South Ft. Myers, 4 miles East of Ft. Myers Beach, the hardest hit area. This generator exceeded our expectations!!! We used it with gas and with propane. It turned on the first time every time. I would recommend this product to anyone. Directions for use were easy to follow. It's easy to hook-up the propane and fill it will gas. It was study and didn't shake or make weird noises. We didn't have power for 5 days and this generator did a wonderful job keeping us cool. We plugged in a portable AC unit and a few fans. We ran it all night and it never died. We even plugged in the washer on Day 5 to wash clothes. We can't thank you enough for making a generator that worked the first time, in our time of need. If you need a generator this is the one for you. Great product at a great price!!! Thank you

Efficient generator - Hurricane qualified

Just purchased this generator 4 days prior to Hurricane Ian affecting our state. Despite not having severe hurricane effects in our area, we did have a power outage for 2 days. Happy to say that this unit was able to provide power to the most basic appliances needed during this time, making our days easy to tolerate. Satisfied with the investment, despite the unplanned financial cost.
