I bought the WGen5300DFcv last week and I found the instruction in the manual very easy to follow to get the generator up and running. My electrician recommended and I thank him for the advice.

Failed within first 10 hours of use. Something came loose in valves. Repair shop charged $350 to fix and Westinghouse would not cover the labor. Worst part is we spent $600 to have a generator in case we needed it and the first time we got to use it it failed the first day and we were out of electric another three days then we had to pay another $350 to have it fixed. For $1,000 I could have gotten a better generator. Would not recommend.

So far, so good. The wheel kit was easy to mount. After adding oil and gas, the unit started on the third pull. I've only had to use it for startup testing so far (thankfully), but it does what it's supposed to do to this point. I've had a different Westinghouse generator for a few years, and it has worked well. I expect the same for this unit.

This is a good unit and has a good capacity. I first put the unit to work during hurricane Milton as we were out of power. Experienced an issue with idle and the unit not operating properly. Used the choke to fine tune it and I made it work. Now I will get the unit serviced and repaired. I expect this to be corrected and the unit will be ready for the next power outage.

I purchased the Dual Fuel 5300 yesterday. i assembled it (easy assembly) and started it today. Tried the propane first, didn't start right away. Tried gasoline, started second pull. I ran upright freezer and electric drill (just to test the generator). Everything worked great. Turned off the generator and restarted with propane and everything worked fine. Very satisfied thus far.

So far so good. I just bought it today. I added oil, hooked up a propane tank and tried to start it. After many pulls I could not get it started on propane. My intention is to never run it on propane unless I need to in an emergency situation. I did not want to put gas in the tank/carburetor, but I did put a teaspoon or so of fuel in the carburetor throat. It then started after about two pulls and seemed to run well on just propane. After running for about 10 minutes I shut it off and let it sit for about 5 minutes. I was then able to restart it without adding any gasoline to the carburetor throat. It is not super quiet but it is not nearly as loud as some portable generators I have used in the past. Hopefully it will start and perform well when I need it.

I bought this product just before our last ice/snow storm. I had some issues starting on propane due to cold temperatures but it started on the second pull on gasoline. Unit runs smoothly and is fairly quiet. Once temperatures moderated I was able to start the unit on propane without significant trouble. All said it’s a good unit for the price.

Just recieved it and was pleased with the unit. Assembly was simple instruction booklet is thick and answers basically anything. Quite happy it comes with oil and a tool kit included and the handle is built in as I wasn't sure it would have one at all based of images. Def heavier than I expected since I've only ever used smaller units but the wheel kit helps with that immensely.

I purchased this in preparation for a forecasted ice storm. Thankfully, the storm fizzled in my area, so I didn't have to use if. I have started the generator and tried both gasoline and LP. With both, the generator started with one pull. I also plugged several electrical items in, to confirm the generator was working. It was. Hopefully, I have insurance against a power outage, that I never need to use, but if I do, this appears to be a quality generator. The only downside that I see is that this generator doesn't produce a pure sine wave, which is needed for sensitive electrical equipment, like computers, tvs, etc. Other than that, I am pleased.

I finally broke down and bought a generator. I am so glad I choose the WGen5300DFcv - Dual Fuel with CO Sensor Model! I love the option for duel fuel, easy to put together and always good to be prepared! Looking forward to continued use and always being ready for what mother nature has instore.
