Great Features

I bought the dual fuel generator to make sure I was prepared for hurricane Francine. I love the fact that it can run off of either gasoline or propane. The advantage of using propane is that it runs quiet and there's no gas fumes. The only issue I had was that it didn't want to run at first. Until I downloaded the quick start manual and read it everything else was history.

Great Product -Very Easy to Get Running

Packaged very well but easy to unpack. Very heavy so if you are a senior citizen I would recommend getting help unpacking and installing wheel kit. Put oil in generator, connected propane, turned choke on, turned switch on and generator started on like third pull. So for very pleased. Runs quieter than some the other brands my neighbors have. Definitely nice product. I bought it for home backup for power outages during storms etc. I feel confident it will meet my needs.

Great generator for the price and features

Bought my generator three days ago it was easy to put together in less than 10 minutes fired it up with propane let it run for a short time with a small load of 2000 watts. I was impressed at how quiet it was and very little noise level change after hooking up small appliances to test. Right now without long-term usage I would recommend this generator with confidence

Great value

With exception of Central Units and Dryer this will run everything else in my house. I can even add a window AC unit if needed. Very good value for a dual fuel. I ran for break in period without any issues. A bit louder than I expected but inside house you can't hardly hear it at all with it at least 15 ft from house

Duel Fuel is the way

I bought this a few weeks ago in preparation for the hurricane season. Well, I couldn’t wait and started using it to power random items like my fridge, different types of charges for various batteries, tv, microwave fans. Things I would normally use during power outages. The generator did great in using it and didn’t skip a beat. It is super easy to switch between gas and propane and it’s nice that it includes a hose for the propane connection.

Awesome generator for a great price!

I bought this generator after reviewing a bunch of them and am very happy I bought this one! Easy to understand instructions and started after about 4 pulls! Would have started after 1 pull probably if I’d a had the choke on! lol Powered up my refrigerator with no problem and ran a hedge trimmer and a corded drill to test it out and that was no problem at all! Gonna invest in a transfer switch and it’ll be all systems go!! Thanks for making a great product!

PRETTY QUIET, GREAT POWER

BOUGHT this generator last month (December 2022) for our camper when the power goes out. Had a big snow storm and power was out for over 24 hrs. This powered our camper (41ft Montana) like the power wasn’t out, could barely hear it running while sitting inside. In 24 hrs we burned about 6 gallons of gas. Very easy to set up, started right up after a few pulls to plumb the fuel lines. After that a could start fires up first pull.

Great generator with easy setup

I live in Tampa, Florida where hurricanes, tropical storms and power outages are a part of life. So is heat, humidity and the need for AC or some type of cooling during the summer months. The Westinghouse WGen45300DFcv is the first generator I have owned and I am impressed with the overall quality of the unit as well as the ease of setup. I found the instructions to be clearly written and easy to follow. While the unit is moderately heavy, once the feet and wheels are attached it was not difficult to roll into the backyard where I will be running it during emergencies. Note: recommend setting this up right away; don't wait until the power is out during a storm in the middle of the night. Also, ensure you use a high quality, low gauge extension cord(s) with any generator. Cheap cords are dangerous and can potentially cause a fire in your house. I highly recommend this unit and will update my review at a later date if I can.

dual fuel is a great feature! no e start only neg

current runs a 100 gallon reef tank, 1000 gallon goldfish pond, 2 fridges, water heater, 9000 btu mini split, a small window unit, water heater and all my lights. And i can also use one other major appliance one at a time. ie dryer oven stove etc. everything but my 5 ton ac unit which would require closer to 16kw. Love the dual fuel option. I can run forever off a 30lb propane tank and not worry bout gunking up the carbeurator for next year. Run gas just when i need the extra 500 watts when trying to cook and clean clothes etc, otherwise propane is great. live in southeast tx with high humidity and hurricanes 2 of which hit near me. power was out for 5 days both times. generator ran solid. Only wish it had electric start for the wife, but its not too bad pull starting. usually within 2 pulls. removed the bonded jumper between ground and neutral like its says too in manual if supplying your breaker box. Meters shows 237 volts most of the time at 57-63 htz. I did not try to run computers or tvs on this one. Thinking of getting a small inverter genny at a later date for those items. Phone chargers and laptop chargers worked just fine though. Sure tvs would of been fine but did not take the chance.

Nice and quiet

I bought this generator because my power has gone out frequently in my area and I'm very pleased so far with this one. It's quieter than the 3500 watt Craftsman I was using before and it puts out more power for the same price. Bottom of the frame seemed a little bent on arrival but doesn't seem to affect anything.
