Life saver!

Bought this before hurricane Helene and didn’t need it because my power didn’t go out for more than 30 minutes. I actually thought about bringing it back but good thing I kept it because two weeks later hurricane Milton was a direct hit on my town and power was out for four days. This generator saved us from being miserable because outdoor temps reached 90° after the hurricane.

Good value for the money.

I bought this generator in May 2021 for use as backup power for my house and for powering my travel trailer on camping trips where there are no hookups. Upon unboxing and adding gas, the unit fired right up on the first pull. The unit has 6500 peak watts and 5300 running watts. We took it on a camping trip and it was able to power our 15K btu AC unit, and we ran our microwave at the same time. It is a large fairly loud unit that creates a lot of power. It does not have an Eco mode so it puts out full power all the time and uses a lot of gas. What's a great feature is that it also runs on propane as it comes (although it puts out a little less power on propane). In my test on a propane tank it ran fine. In all I think that with the power it delivers, the 3 year warranty, and the fact that it runs on propane, the unit is a great value and that I made a good decision in my purchase.

Great instructions!

As for your example, it's more like we bought it, expecting delivery, 04/21/22! the generator arrived today, 04/14/22; just as we are facing extreme bad weather!! So, the generator is giving us "peace of mind"; not knowing what this weather forecast is going to bring us!!

Gulf Coast Relief

This generator will be a great relief and a very useful tool. I live very near the Gulf Coast, and our family has endured more than one hurricane, which knocked out electricity for days. This generator will enable us to live in our home without going back to the Stone Age. Plus, this generator will enable us to use power tools on our property, which were heretofore without access to electric power.

I am impressed with capability gas and propane

I bought and have read the reviews very impressed. The ability to last 14 hrs on a given full tank and the ability to run continuously for 500 hrs. I have read numerous Generators capability and nothing compares to the Westing house!!! Thank you so much!

easy starting

I liked the Dual Fuel option on this model and easy starting when you fellow their manual. the generator was not any louder then a lawn mower, in fact it was quieter. I run my unit on propane so I don't know what the gas option would sound like. The size of unit is very maneuverable for the output of power it produces I have a WGEN5300DFV I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Easy to use!

I just bought the WGen5300 after living in Florida my entire life I figured it was about time. We have had a couple multi-day power outages that left everything in the fridge ruined. I plan to use this for the fridge and an AC window unit. I think the set up was rather easy and I was able to get it started on the first pull after turning the choke on. It wouldn’t start leaving it off per the instructions so turn it on and then off right after it kicks on.

Quiet and versatile!

I purchased this unit a few weeks ago as hurricane season is approaching. It was delivered in a timely manner. Instructions and manuals were very easy to read and understand. Everything is included that is needed to run the unit on gas or propane, minus the fuel. Very pleased with the product.

Great Value

This generator is large enough to power my travel trailer and not have any worries about what all can run at the same time. Also, with the dual fuel option, I can run it off the propane tanks on my travel trailer if I ever forget or run out of gas. With the handle and wheels, moving the generator isn't too much of a hassle.

Great value

Purchased this generator this past weekend. It had great reviews and seems to be a good value $$$ wise. The wheels and feet were easy to install. It is easy enough to maneuver around. We will sleep better knowing it is here and ready to go if and when the need arises.
