Easy Initial Open

Bought this yesterday, haven't had a chance to put it through it's paces but the unboxing and prepping for use was a breeze. The tools necessary for assembly of feet and tires were included as was the oil. Just need to provide the gas and you're good to go.

User friendly

I waited for this generator to come back in stock and I'm glad I did. Put the wheels and feet on, filled with oil, hooked it up to a propane bottle and it fired off on the fourth pull. Ran quieter than I was expecting. Great layout and user friendly. You can't go wrong on this one. Tool kit and oil funnel shows they care about their customers. Warranty was the best I saw. Quality product.

Reliable Power for My Home

I bought the WGen5300DFcv generator a few weeks ago, and it has been a lifesaver! We had a power outage recently, and this generator kept all of our essentials running smoothly. It was easy to set up, started quickly, and ran efficiently for hours. The dual-fuel feature is a great option, giving flexibility when fuel is limited. The build quality feels solid, and it operates quieter than I expected. I highly recommend this generator for anyone looking for dependable backup power.

Ease of operation

The layout of the controls are easy accessible and instructions on operation and set up are easy to follow.I have only done a general start up to check out my generator for initial operation, started up first pull ran smoothly and isn’t very loud. I have not tested under load yet. I’m empress at this time.

Great Generator!

I bought this generator less than a month ago and was very pleased with the purchase. The 4800 Watt on propane has fulfilled my needs perfectly in my RV. My only complaints are that the manual says that 240 V us available at the 4 prong twist lock only but when I tried it I had the 120V standard connector to my RV plugged in and 240 V was sent thru that connector too! This blew out various motors in my RV (evaporative water pump, fan, microwave) as well as the inverter I had hooked to my solar battery. The statement in the manual is incorrect and was very costly to me.

Saved our food in the fridge

Power was out and looked for a power generator that was on SCE’s list for a rebate. Thankfully the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv was on the list and in stock at a nearby Sam’s Club. Bought it and used it with propane gas to power up both our fridges and saved our food from spoiling.

Powering our transfer switch during an outage

Bought this two years ago and using it for the first time during a power outage. It’s been going for 24 hours solid. We have it hooked up to a transfer switch that runs several things in the home, including the refrigerator, the well water pump, master bedroom, lights, and so much more. It has been a powerhouse so far and a lifesaver during a power outage. Highly recommend!

Awesome generator

We use the Westinghouse 5300dfv when we boondock at the lake or at a place where there is no power hookups. Works great to charge batteries and run the ac when needed. Also it is a great price point for what it is. It's not quiet but it's also not that loud from 25 feet away.

Perfect Size and ready to use

First time having a generator. Living in SC it is not often that we lose power due to storms but when we do, primarily due to ice storms, it could be up to 2 days before the snow/ice melts. The generator is compact but the feature I like the most is the ability to use either gas or propane. The unit is compact and very easy to operate. With a peak of 6400 watts, and normal running power of 5300 watts, there is enough power to go around for the essentials in times of need.

Life saver

I bought this generator after losing power in 20 degree weather for two days. I lost power again the following week due to a blizzard. The generator started right up and I connected it to heaters that kept us warm until the power came back on. In -30 degree weather, this generator was a great purchase.
