WGen Generator

I purchased the generator a year ago and finally had to use it for power outage due to hurricane Milton. My first time ever using a generator and it was amazingly easy and safe. Great investment. Uses both gas and propane which was very convenient.

Transfer switch house hookup via NEMA L14-30 cord

Important info for first-time buyers of portable generators. We couldn't feed power into the house from the NEMA L14-30R outlet because I started it in 120v mode. But the outlet is only energized in the 240v position! 1. That outlet provides max 3600W for 120V and max 5300W for 240V at 30A. When setting the voltage to 120v, only the two other outlets are energized with 120v each: 2. The RV compatible outlet (TT-30R) provides max 3600 Watt at 30 Ampere 3. The two household outlets (5-20R) provide max 2400 Watt at 20 Ampere I strongly recommend Westinghouse to include this information clearly in the product's manual and operating instructions.

Over all a good generator

Bought this generator to help us with the Power Shutdowns going on here in California. It was pretty easy to unbox and put together the wheels and bottom bombers. The instructions are pretty straight forward and clear to understand. I put the oil, gas and powered it, started right up on the first pull. ran it for the recommended hour to break-in the motor. Over all I'm very happy with this purchase/investment.

Plenty of power!

I bought this generator today because my old one kept tripping the breaker. This one has plenty of power and has a dedicated RV TT plug with it's own 30 amp breaker. I ran the AC, Microwave, Refrigerator and coffee pot all at the same time, no issues!

Great generator

I ordered this generator from Sam’s Club in preparation for winter in Texas. 2021’s winter storm hit us pretty bad with no electricity or water for nearly a week. Not in 2022! This unit was a great price, includes a wheel kit, and was delivered quickly. I was a bit disappointed the main frame came out of the box with chipped black paint and rust, but this cosmetic issue can be easily fixed with flat black spray paint. I had a transfer switch installed on my main home breaker with a lockout for safety. I plan to run a 20ft power cord to this switch with the generator on in case of a power outage. Of course theis generator isn’t rated to run everything in my home, but basic heating, lights, and refrigerator is all we need to ensure my family’s piece of mind.

Easy set up.

Generator was well packed with all assessories needed such as wheels, mounting feet, correct quantity of oil and funnell to install oil, wrench to install wheels & feet. The user manual is very well done and easy to use. It started on the third pull and ran as expected. I purchased this to use in an outage at a rental house that we own so we don't have to move our existing portable generator back and forth. Our daughter bought the same model last year and it worked very well during the one outage they had that winter.

Awesome Generator

Bought this a month ago and so far its been great. Easy set up and break in. Is light enough to put in back of a pickup with a little help. The dual fuel option is great, and I will be utilizing it. Its compact enough to fit between my truck toolbox and 5th wheel for powering our travel trailer when boondocking. Starts easy and is not super noisy. It was the best value for the money that I could find. I highly recommend it.

Early Review

Arrived packaged well and in timely manner. Got it out of the box, set up per instructions, rolled it outside and it fired up on the very first pull. Seem to run good, but have not had a chance to put much of a load on it. Will update after our next trip.

Very happy I made this choice!!!!

I did research! Others were always lacking in some area. The WGen5300DFv made the strongest impression and fit my needs. Buyer ratings and reviews and answers to question gave me confidence. Very happy when I got it home. VERY Heavy duty and commercial feel. Read the instructions. Works very good with recently purchased 89 oct non-ethanol gas. Looking forward to trying the propane option. Stored on a covered porch. Only run outside open air on nearby concrete patio. Extra smoke/carbon monoxide alarm and fire extinguisher close by for safety.

Good Features

After having a generator that was fairly new not work even though I used good gas, I’m thrilled I can use propane or gas. I think the propane will keep it clean and ready to start and use. It’s bad when you think you’re set for an emergency, only to find out you’re not. Great generator. I’m ready now.
