WGen5300

Love the generator and wattage output. I installed a cut-over switch and have tested it for running the house in a power outage, both freezers, kitchen lights/fridge and 1 AC ran fine with great voltage output (per the Electrician!). I did take 1 star off due to the fact that I had to order & return 2 units before receiving the 3rd one undamaged (the first 2 had FRAME and structural damage and just weren't packed well from the beginning). But the Generator itself works great once started and running!

Great Generator

I just purchased this a week ago and love it. This fired right up on the first pull. I love the fact that I can used gasoline or propane with it. I highly recommend purchasing this generator especially in Florida when everyone is buying up all of the gas when a hurricane comes.

WOW

Bought to run my Travel trailer, and for power outages in Hurricane prone Louisiana. Absolutely blown away. Easy set up. Initial start up took three pulls to start up the engine, after that one pull to start. Only hooked up to my Travel Trailer so far and it worked perfectly. Turn on the A/C, Lights, and microwave and it didn’t even miss a beat. Extremely pleased.

Haven’t used yet, but nice features

I haven’t used it yet, but it has great features at a good price. With the inadequacy of the Texas power grid, and Greg A’s inability to stand up to power companies, I’m glad I have a back up in case we loose power for multiple days in the winter again.

Very Nice Generator

I bought this to power a 28ft Travel trailer. My previous generator would not work well at altitude; 9800ft., it wouldnt even run a 900W microwave. This unit powers up the entire trailer, including the AC, with no problems. It is bigger, heavier and a little louder. The wight is offset by the nice frame and wheels which makes it easier to move around. I really like that it is dual fuel, dual voltage and all the plugin options. Have not taken it on a trip yet but looking forward to our first outing using this generator.

Solid little generator

Easy to assemble and understand. Started easily and hums right along, have now used it for about 5 hours with no issues. It is a bit loud, but I expected that. Have not tried the propane fuel option but don't anticipate problems. Seems like a quality built unit with quality materials, am very pleased to date.

Great features!

This is a great item to have especially if you have numerous power outages as we do.My wife and kids got me Westinghouse 5300 for Christmas, and like clockwork , after a big snow Christmas night our power went off. We popped the generator out of the box and had it fired up in less than 15 minutes and it did everything we needed it to do.Love the blue color and the Westinghouse brand has always been a trusted name in our family for decades.

Snow storm

We originally bought this because we were expecting a hurricane but it shifted so we were very blessed, we ended up getting several inches of snow (in Texas) and our family members electricity went out so we put the generator together and ran it over to their house along with a heater and extension cord, we filled it with gas and it started up easily, it done a wonderful job and kept them warm all night. And it wasn’t extremely loud either. If you are thinking about buying one do no hesitate.

Great Generator!

This is a purchase that we are grateful for! We were able to use this generator recently during the freeze in Texas and it worked very well. It did well on gas and helped us heat our home and stay connected. I would highly recommend this generator for any household!

A great generator for the cold season

This generator is really good since it's really easy to use, doesn't take up that much space, and really easy to move around. I tested it recently (since winter is coming) and is one of the best ones I've used. Is also not that heavy. I would be using this generator for this winter and onwards.
