Easy start, great features

I just bought this generator last week and like it so far. The only assembly required is for the wheels and front leveling supports; and the tools are included. I added the oil ( also included) and a couple gallons of gas, pressed the primer about 6 times and it started on the first pull. Then I let it run for about an hour to break it in. The onboard volt meter registered 120 - 122 volts (with no load) the entire time. I have not yet tried running it on propane or under load.

Power for my needs

Just purchased this today 9/5/22. After a little help getting it into the truck (It’s solid), got this generator home, and what a breeze of easily assembling the wheels and mounts—took 10 minutes. I’ll be running non-ethanol gas to be on the safe side. Competing in various cookoffs across the country, I am excited because of its dual fuel feature. As you know, some cooks may take quite a bit of time, and in the event that I do run out of gas that transition to propane to not lose temperature and continue to cook. I’m excited to see if it works out for the best. Regardless, I feel this is a solid purchase for anyone needing power needs.

Excellent generator for RV

We bought this generator for our camper and planning on using it for the first time this weekend. Of course we tested it out in the backyard first on light loads since the camper is at a storage facility. It seems to perform very well on propane, keeping in mind if we need to run it for heavier loads, we can use gasoline. So far we are thrilled with this purchase and the price was unbeatable when compared to similar models. It's heavier than I thought it would be, but this thing is solid. I'll take solid and a little heaviness over cheaply made products that will not last. It's not super quiet, but not obnoxiously loud either. Overall we are extremely satisfied and I will come back to add on to this review after we use it for our camper, if allowed.

Easy to set up

We bought this right before Christmas and got it set up. Thankfully we did not have to use it, but we were forecast for tornadoes in Iowa in December which is highly unusual. In addition to not being able to go without heat We had a freezer and refrigerator full of food that we could not afford to lose.

RV Boondocking!

My wife and I bought this Westinghouse dual gas portable generator so that as we travel towing our RV and decide to stay at a RV park, we don't have to depend on a full hookup site to park our RV. Now we can reserve a site with either a full hookup or not. The generator was very easy to unpack and there was very little to do to power it up. It started the first time after using the choke and we tested both the gasoline and propane uses. We experienced no problems at all. Can't wait to try it out if full hookups are not available! We now are really Happy Campers!

Dual fuel

We bought this when a big storm took out our power. My husband relies on a CPaP machine when he sleeps. We mainly got a generator to power his CPAP and keep a fridge/freezer running. We were able to power a small stand up freezer and a full size fridge/freezer and also a fan and CPAP machine with no problems. I like the option to switch to propane if you want to. Not too complicated for me to figure out if hubby is not around.

nice unit

Ordered this on a Friday and was delivered on Monday. Setup / assembly was easy, filled with oil and gas and it started on second pull. (haven't run it with propane yet). Unit ran well through the break in procedure. Am confident this unit will power everything needed in my house the next time power goes out, which happens fairly frequently with storms here.

Great Buy!

After the TX power grid failed us last year, we decided to get better prepared this year. We just purchased the generator last week and have only tested it with propane. It started right away on the first pull. I really like the dual fuel option! It was a bit loud and I can only imagine how much louder it will sound when the whole neighborhood is without power, but oh well, at least we’re prepared! It’s also pretty heavy so I definitely recommend getting the model with the wheels. Overall, very pleased with the purchase.

Great generator P C

purchased this generator at my local club they had it in a great display area where it got my attention. the fact that it was dual fuel is a great advantage when R VING. the fuel being propane of choice because of safety. just a great product because of the fact that they build very large motors and electric Transformers and many others. The name WESTINGHOUSE IS WELL KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY AND ALL OVER THE WORLD

Impressed

Bought another brand and it wouldn't start. Returned it and bought the Westinghouse WGen5300DFcv. It was very easy to set up. Was the same price as the other brand and had more features and more running watts and peak watts. It started on the very first pull. It has falf the noise of my old generator and vibration is minimal. I ran two freezers, a refrigerator, and a couple of lights and a fan with no trouble. It looks sturdy and it looks good.
