Looks good out the box

I Bought this generator this month October 2022. Arrived prior to the expected delivery date which was great. Easy assembly , only needed to add the wheels and oil. Oil was in included. I wait later to add gas. It really looks good. I am not wishing for a power outage however can’t wait to use it. I can just wheel it easy into my garage. I like the duel fuel option of either fuel or propane.

Good Generator

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.

Great features

I bought this to use to power a few things in our home during a power outage. Really liked that it is dual fuel as I keep propane on hand. It came pretty well packed and in great condition. The 240 VAC output is one major selling point for me, so I can attached it to the house panel. Tried to run the unit on gasoline and then propane. Both worked well and the unit started on the 4th pull. I also really like that the handle and wheels were included, as they are extra on a lot of units this size. The only downsides I have so far is that the pull rope spring seems a bit weak. After I pulled to start the motor, I had to quickly let the rope go back into the motor or else I ended up with a lot of rope hanging out of the starter assembly. The other was that it was hard to change the display. I had to use a pencil to push the button in far enough to make contact and change the display. Minor issues to me as the unit performed well and ran pretty quietly too. I cannot beat the 3 year warranty too. Many units by other companies come with only 1 year. Lastly the price was a definite factor as I saved a lot of money.

Easy to read use manual, easy to start

I set up the generator outside my garage and used it to power my table saw and Miter saw. I was able to complete my project without a lose of power. I ran out of gas on one occasion but was able to easily switch over to propane so I could finish my project. It was not as loud as I thought it would be.

Feeling Safe before the storm

I purchased this Generator a few days before a projected winter storm. After watching all of our neighbors prepare their generators for the storm. After making the purchase i feel just as safe as any of them. Fortunately we have not had to use it yet. I know the name Westinghouse has our backs when the time comes!

Easy to Use !!

I bought a Westinghouse generator (WGen5300DFv). This product was so easy to turn on, it’s a great investment for these unreliable winter months & summer outages. I’m so grateful that Westinghouse has affordable and reliable products. Thanks for a great purchase !!

This is a generator.

I haven't had an occasion to use it just yet, but it was easy to put together. It came with a cool little funnel thing for putting in the oil. It's nice to know that when the Trump supporters start wrecking more than the capitol, I'll have the ability to keep my insulin cool.

Great Generator for Motorhome

I bought this generator to replace the Onan 5500 generator in my 1998 motorhome. The Westinghouse generator works well and can easily power my entire motorhome running both A/C units and other appliances at the same time. I like the multiple plug ins and the ability to run either 120 or 240v. Would be 5 Stars if started on the first pull every time, however it does start consistently on the second pull every time using gas for fuel. A primer button may help this. The way the unit is mounted creates very little vibration for a small engine.

Simple setup-meets my needs

Bought this a couple of weeks ago. Setup went smoothly and runs well. Have wanted a dependable backup for some time since we are in a rather remote area. Seems like it will provide sufficient power for our emergency needs, and operation is solid and fairly quiet. I may consider it excellent after the next power outage, but I haven't fully tested its capacity yet.

Powerful Portable Generator

I bought this generator after having an off-brand gen for 5 years. The 5300 with a peak watt 6500 is able to 5x15 and 1x30 sub panel breaker box with ease. I have had to use it twice in the past month, once for 5 days and then for ~36 hours due to storms in the Midwest. I am able to run basics like computers, televisions, furnace 2 refrigerators, deep freezer....as well as major wattage items like coffee maker, microwave, washer and dryer at same time. Past generators have tripped fuses if we dared trying to use 2 major appliance at same time.I haven't tried propane yet, but 4.7gal gas tank runs ~8 hours
