Great!

Was skeptical at first due to the shipping damage, but it turned out to just be cosmetic. Generator works great! Tested it using both gas and propane and no issues. I am impressed at how simple and seamless it is to switch between the two fuel sources. My only complaints are minimal - a wrench to connect the propane wasn't included and the tool kit doesn't come with a way to attach to the frame.

Starts easy, and seems to supply power....BUT

I opened the package, assembled and started as instructed, no problems there. The system appeared to be generating appropriately so I decided to plug in a radio to my 110 outlet and that's when I noticed the outlet was not secured properly so when I tried to plug the radio in, the 110 outlet just pushed inside the generator protective housing.... I'm sure that's not the way the plug is supposed to function as it seems very unsafe and a clear shock hazard. The other outlets are solid and can be used, the engine started on the second pull, and assembly was very easy.

Worked great

Generator worked great with one small snag. We ran the generator for about 25 hours after hurricane Helene. It wouldn't start after we gave it a rest for a while and had to switch from propane to gas. We switched back to propane and it started. Not sure what the issue was. After that, no issues. Nice solid generator.

Power for my needs

Just purchased this today 9/5/22. After a little help getting it into the truck (It’s solid), got this generator home, and what a breeze of easily assembling the wheels and mounts—took 10 minutes. I’ll be running non-ethanol gas to be on the safe side. Competing in various cookoffs across the country, I am excited because of its dual fuel feature. As you know, some cooks may take quite a bit of time, and in the event that I do run out of gas that transition to propane to not lose temperature and continue to cook. I’m excited to see if it works out for the best. Regardless, I feel this is a solid purchase for anyone needing power needs.

Excellent generator!

I bought this after a big storm came through a couple of hours away from my house and knocked out power over a widespread area. I wanted power if that happened to me. Got a great deal on this unit. Delivered promptly. Minor assembly to attach wheels and rest pads. The generator started up on the 2nd pull and works great!

Great Value

I am very happy with my purchase. I set up and put the generator to work the same day as delivery. Dual fuel is the best feature. I prefer the cleaner burning propane and will use gasoline as a back up fuel. Easy start and response to various tool loads.

Just purchased, so far very pleased !

Needed a generator for when the power goes out and to hook our camper up to if we choose to. After some research and reading the reviews I chose this one and have not been disappointed so far ! Getting it ready to use was a breeze and after doing a couple of break in period oil changes it is currently running multiple items in my garage. Only downside up to this point is the oil drain plug location. Needs to be about an inch further back so when you drain the oil it doesn't run on the frame before going into the oil pan. Other than that I am very pleased with my purchase up to this point !

Nice generator

I bought this generator for home use when the electricity goes off. I just needed something for my refrigerators, freezers, plus a tv and fan so this was a good size. I am 75 and was concerned about generators that weigh a lot (plus the weight of gas in the tank) but this one was just right and I can move it around very easy.

Westinghouse Open Frame Dual Fuel Generator

I bought model # WGen5300DFcv, it's got 6500 watts peak power and 5300 watts running, runs on gasoline or propane. We bought it because we are in Western North Carolina near Asheville, and Hurricane Helene knocked out our power for 15 days. And this Westinghouse generator ran like a champ for 12 hours on a single tank of gas for the duration of this power outage. Performing post use/storage maintenance was easy. Nothing but praise for this open frame generator.

Awesome machine out of the box at a great price!

Just bought it today and looking forward to using it. I read many great reviews about this machine which is why I purchased it and the fact that it's a dual fuel which is good just in case you don't have gasoline most people have a grill you can grab the tank out of and hook it up in a pinch. We lose power on occasion and were tired of losing money in lost food in the fridge and having kids we can't lose power it makes life extremely difficult.
