Can run on propane and connect to electric panel

I purchased this combination fuel gas/propane model primarily for backup during a power outage. I plan to use propane so I don't have to bother with gas, fuel stabilizer, etc. And having an extra propane tank around is handy for the grill too! I also chose this model because I plan to get an interlock installed on my electric panel and connect it right to the panel. I did start it up and let it run for 20 minutes or so on propane. It took several pulls for the initial startup. Note that you do need the choke on regardless of the fuel type :-) Only plugged a few small tools into the 120 receptacles just to try it out so haven't run it under much of a load yet, but it seemed to run fine/evenly.

Westinghouse Generator

The Westinghouse Generator I purchased was the WGen5300DFv. This generator has what I was looking for; dual fuel (gas and propane) with a pull chord to start. The price was excellent and a great value. This will be used as a backup generator in case of power outages. The wattage is enough to power most of the items in the house. Would definitely recommend!!

Dual fuel generator

I bought this to power my travel trailer and really enjoy the ability to use propane and gasoline. The generator isn’t too quiet, but we use it for the air conditioning which pretty much covers it up. It is heavy and takes two people to unload. Overall, impressed with it so far.

Perfect Size & Features

I purchased this generator almost two months ago to use around the farm and to provide emergency power should the electricity service go down. I opted for the manual start instead of battery start as there might be long periods of time when I don't use it and I didn't want to have to rely on the battery to start it, plus the cost difference wasn't worth it for me. Being able to run on either gasoline or propane allows me great flexibility when it comes to fuel sources. The generator always starts on the 2nd pull. IMHO it's not too loud like some other units. I have used the generator to power my air compressor, drills, saws, grinders, and even my 50 Amp plasma cutter. Great buy!

Well pleased with this generator

I upgraded from a gasoline only generator to this dual fuel unit. It was well packed and took only a few minutes to unpack it, put the wheels and feet on and add the oil. Started on the second pull and ran smoothly. I have only tested at 3600 watts so far on both 120v and 240v and the generator handled it with no problem and almost no change in the voltage. I really like the versatility of the generator having the option of using either 240v or full power at 120v.

Easy to start!

Bought this when we lost power from a freak storm and were told it would be days without. It was easy to put the wheels/feet on, put oil and gas in and start up. It ran wonderfully, i really like the fact that we could switch from propane to gas and vice versa when needed.

Excellent Generator

Bought this in preparation for hurricane season and ended up needing to power my house for 24 hours. This generator was a life savor. It was easy to use and it fired right up after adding gas and oil. I’ve done one oil change so far and it was very simple. Overall great product for the money.

Novice Generator User

I bought this last month and had never had any experience with generators. Was amazingly easy to assemble ; directions were clear and easy to understand. Everything I needed to start things up were there (including oil!). Tested everything without a hitch; just waiting for the power to go out. Would highly recommend .
