Excellent for Camping RV Power

I have been keeping an eye out for a dual fuel Generator, have looked at many and found this choice to fill my needs perfectly. I will be going on a long RV trip and expect to boondock several places and the ability to use either propane or petrol is an added plus since I travel with a 100lb propane tank and spare gasoline. I should be all set and will submit additional reviews along the way.

Dual Fuil

Power outages have been a problem. We shopped several places and decided to purchase the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv for three reasons: 1. It had enough wattage to run the essentials if our power failed. 2. It runs on both gasoline and propane. (If power is out for an extended period, gasoline may be hard to find.) 3. The price was right. Thankfully, we have not had to run the generator for a long period but have tested it under load and it performed well.

Does what I need

Bought this as a home power failure backup and also a boondocking generator for our camper. Option for propane is a big plus. Generator runs a 30 amp camper with no problems. Overall noise seems to be less than other generators I've seen. With the exhaust pointed away from the camper, I can't hear the generator over the A/C unit fan. One change I would make is to move the voltage switch away from the on/off switch. Too easy to hit the wrong switch when it's running.

Perfect for a simple home back up generator

This unit came in a few days late but Lowes has been having issues across the board with their trucks coming in anyways but no big deal! Came in in perfect condition. Got it assembled and ready to start up in maybe 20 minutes. Started right up on the 2nd pull! Very happy with it so far. Did a test run and it will run my tankless water heater(don’t have it hooked up the whole time just when we need to shower), ran both my deep freezer and refrigerator, along with tv/wifi and a nice fan we got from Sams Club. Did the job. Hopefully i wont need it anytime soon but when the time comes where our power goes out again, ill be ready!

Trial Run

With hurricane season upon us we thought it would be a good idea to have a generator for back-up. Instruction were clear. Assembly was minimal. This model runs on propane and gas but am just trying the propane at this time. Easy start. Right now running to large fans, a small fridge and a 42in TV. So far we are happy with the results

Very efficient generator!

I bought this generator for camping purposes. It is a great power backup for my trailer and is a highly efficient generator when it comes to fuel consumption. If you buy it, keep in mind it is quite heavy and will need two people to lift it when in transport.

Perfect Size and ready to use

First time having a generator. Living in SC it is not often that we lose power due to storms but when we do, primarily due to ice storms, it could be up to 2 days before the snow/ice melts. The generator is compact but the feature I like the most is the ability to use either gas or propane. The unit is compact and very easy to operate. With a peak of 6400 watts, and normal running power of 5300 watts, there is enough power to go around for the essentials in times of need.

Excellent Product

This is our first generator and it has worked flawlessly. We have used it on quite a few camping trips with our toy hauler in weather ranging from 60 degrees to 115 degrees. It works great in all conditions and is very easy to use and maintain. Highly recommended product, you will not be disappointed.

Not Assembled In China

I needed a standby generator as we frequently lose power, sometimes for days at a time. This is large enough to power the essentials and gas stingy enough that you don't need to keep barrels of gasoline on hand. The best part is, although it was not assembled in the USA, at least it wasn't made in CHINA. Best value I could find for the cost.

WGEN5300DFV

Bought this when our power went out 2 days ago. Simple set up, just add fuel and oil. Started on second pull and ran flawlessly for 4 hours. Was able to power 2 full size refrigerator/freezers, an upright freezer, and 1/2hp sump pump from the two 120v outlets.
