Did a lot of research before deciding on the WGen5300DFV, Took it thru the break-in period did great. Not as loud as I expected. Purchased a 25-foot 10/3 Conntek GEN1688 L14-30P to multi-Outlet, 30 Amp 4-Prong power cord to go with the generator. Note: the manual does not make it clear, but you must set the voltage switch to 240 volts to activate the L14-30R receptacle.

This is our first generator. We just bought our house and we live in Louisiana, so after last year's active hurricane season we knew we had to have one. This one is a great price for the system. Its loud but not as loud as some I've heard. It started right up. Ran perfect for the hour. Hopefully we won't need it this year,but I think if we do it will be great.

I bought this generator to power my RV in case of a power outage like we had here in Texas in February (we were without electricity for 7 days)!. It was easy to unbox and there was very little assembly required. It was well packaged and was undamaged. It took less than an hour to put it together, put some oil in it, hook it up to a propane tank and fire it up. It started on the 2d pull and ran flawlessly. I ran it through the first hour of break-in and checked the the output with a outlet tester and it was working well. I'm looking forward to hooking it to the RV for a test run tomorrow - Thanks!

I looked at several big box stores, and compared prices among several brands. For wattage vs cost, this generator was the best value. Assembly was very easy. The necessary basic tools are included, and the wheels attach with cotter pins. Assembly took maybe 5 minutes. Oil comes drained and will need to be filled with the included oil bottle. The generator fired up on the first pull. Idled just fine for a few minutes. I only tried using a 1/2" impact wrench to remove/install a trailer tire, although it was purchased for hurricane preparation. Whenever I pressed the trigger on the impact wrench, the engine would very briefly hiccup but ran fine overall, and otherwise had no electrical or engine issues. I assume that's normal when applying an electrical load. It's certainly not quiet, but I would guess that most aren't. It's my first generator, and at this time I have no regrets. As long as it keeps doing what it's doing, you can't really beat the price, and the 3-year warranty seems fair.

I BOUGHT THIS GENERATOR TO GO WORK IN NORTH CAROLINA AFTER THE HURRICANE. THE MEASUREMENT ARE THE GENERATOR FRAME ONLY. IT SETS HIGHER ONCE YOU ADD THE WHEELS AND FEET. I HAD TO LEAVE THEM OFF TO GO INSIDE MY TRUCK COVER SO IT WOULD CLOSE. OVER ALL THIS GENERATOR WORKS GREAT. I HAVE ONLY USED THE 120 SIDE OF THIS GENERATOR BUT PLAN ON USING IT AS A WHOLE HOUSE BACK UP IF NEEDED.

I bought this about a week ago and it is the first generator I've ever owned, I have to say I am very impressed. My television is Westinghouse brand and I've had it for ever and I knew I couldn't go wrong with getting a Westinghouse generator, it's awesome!

I decided on this generator after a ton of research and consider it a great value of features for the price point. I've ran it on propane so far. I bought it for emergency use and tested it with the 30 amp service in my RV. Works great. Ran steady, wasn't even bothered by a small load. Starts right up with very little effort. All around a good buy.

Bought it after a storm to be ready the next time...ended up using it for some home improvement projects instead of dangerous runs of extension cords. Worked great out of the box, started quick the first pull, and even came with the tools to put it together.

I live in Southern Louisiana. We bought this in March in anticipation of the 2021 hurricane season. We were without power after Hurricane Ida for nearly a week and the generator worked like a charm. We were able to run our fridge/freezer and phone chargers for small periods of time to keep things charged and cold. I also appreciate the fact it can run on propane as well as we learned it was tricky to keep it running because of the gas shortage due to the hurricane.

We purchased this generator after a hurricane when our electric power was out for an extended time. We fueled it with gasoline and used it to power our refrigerator and an upright freezer on and off for a total of about 20 usage. We also used it to power a floor fan. It worked well. We plan to us it again if we have another extended outage.
