Well laid out control panel and other controls

I purchased this generator after my previous generator was destroyed during Hurricane Ian. It was easy to assemble the wheels and foot-rests and after that it was simply a matter of adding oil and fuel. Starting the unit required only two pulls and it fired right up. I liked the layout of the controls making it easy to set it up to power household items during power blackouts.

Great generator!

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.

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.

Starts right up

I purchased this earlier this year. Followed the break in process and haven't had to use it as we got it for emergency power loss. Just got hit with a bad storm and lost power and went and got it out and it fired up on the 3rd pull after sitting for several months. Been running our fridge and freezer as well as providing us with some power. Very happy with it.

Just what I was looking for!

I have been shopping for a generator for my RV for a while. This one hit the mark. I like that it is a Westinghouse which is a very reliable brand. I like the wheels. And I especially like that it is dual fuel at a very good price. I look forward to using it.

Solid generator with more then enough power

I purchased this generator recently due to all the cold weather that we’re getting in East Texas. In the past, I’ve had different models/brands of generators ranging from champion, etc., and have to say that this generator is way quieter and much much easier to start up. From the point of taking it out of the box and adding the oil it took two pools and it fired right up and ran smooth as could be and comes with everything you need in order to switch over between Natural gas/propane and gasoline. With almost a combined 18 hour run time with one tank of fuel and one of propane, that is more then enough to get you through a spot when needing a generator. I have to say that I like the switch in the side that allows you to select from 120v to 240v. By doing so you’re able to connect up smaller appliances if need be, all the way to a house or camper if you have the correct cable setup.

Life saver!

I bought this in January 2022 and have already experienced 3 power outages since then. I like the handle which makes it easy to move around. I'm a single mom and I can easily move it around, fill it up and start it! It seemed a little intimidating at first but after watching a YouTube video I felt comfortable starting my generator. I ran my lights, refrigerator a.d aquarium with no problems. I highly recommend having one for emergencies. If you add some fuel stabilizer to the gas, you won't have issues storing it for future use.

Good Value for Dual Fuel and power!

This Generator can be hooked up to my whole house, to my camper, or just run a 110-volt extension cord. Has ability to run on propane which is why we purchased this product. Use when needed then just unhook the propane, put a little oil in cylinder and should be ready to go next week or next year.

Starts and runs great. Works very well for me.

Purchased about a week ago. Easily assembled and to start. Ran generator for about a day and a half and it never missed a beat. Fuel usage as advertised. A little difficult to fill with oil , a long neck funnel works best. Other than that, no issues.

Nice Generator

Purchased the Westinghouse WGen5300DFcv generator in July 2024 to be prepared for the next storm that hits Texas. This generator was easy to assemble and looks amazing. Got it up and running - pretty lightweight and purrs like a well-oiled machine. Settled on this one after quite a bit of research. Chose it because of dual fuel capability, running watts, selection of voltage output, and other features including the CO Sensor monitors. This machine should run the necessary appliances during the next power outages. Great features and a great price, too!
