I just bought this to replace a 20 year old champion have not used yet. Read a lot of reviews and almost all gave a good review so I figured I would give it a try. Cannot recommend yet as I have not used but will use within the next couple days to see how well it works

I actually just bought this the same day I'm doing this review. I went on to register after running past the 5 hour break-in period with no issues. After testing a variation of appliances while running my heat tape on my roof, since it's been snowing, while running both gasoline and propane, I'm impressed with the wattage output of the Wgen5300. Typically, if you don't experience any issues within the break-in period, you aren't likely to have any in the future, outside of wear and tear. After seeing how this generator preforms after 6 hours of running, I intend on keeping this unit for many years. This is the first generator I've owned that'll run on propane and I must say, while I intend to primarily use gas, the propane will come in handy. It still seems to have plenty of power for what I needed even though it's downrated to 4800 running watts. I thought I'd test to see how seamless it can transfer from propane to gas or vice versa. I was able to switch it over to propane while it was sputtering out of gas without it ever dieing. I'm happy with my purchase and after using an 8 year old Duro Max 4400 that still works excellent, I'm not regretting my new purchase.

I love the way this unit is put together...Very easy to understand to controls and very easy to assemble. And YES....it has a handle. None of the photos I saw in the ads showed a handle...thought I would have to buy one somewhere, but it flips up and tucks down... makes it very nice to use. Love to fact that it use both gas and propane... So happy to have this one!!

We just purchased the 5300DFcv portable generator today so we haven't had a chance to use it yet. We purchased based on previous positive experiences with Westinghouse products as well as customer reviews. We'll do a test run tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well!

I bought this yesterday to upgrade from a smaller generator. My house is on a transfer switch and my old generator didn't have enough power to run the well pump, so in an outage we had no water. This runs pretty much the whole house (3 refrigerators, laundry, ground floor and basement) except HVAC (only because HVAC isn't on the transfer switch). Best investment in a while. Definitely more comfortable going into NC storm season.

I purchased this generator a few ago. I really haven't given it a full test. I have started it and it is very quiet compared to my 20 year old generator. I like the Idea that it can work on dual fuel supply. I haven't tested the propane fuel, however the gasoline fuel start up was great.

I bought this recently just in case we have power knocked out. It was easy to set up, and it moves very easily with the built in handle and wheels. Assembly was simple and easy. It took a few times to start it up the first time but it is running flawlessly!

My husband did a lot of research before deciding on this one. We just had to pull it out after we lost power from Hurricane Ian. Quality is too notch and we are so pleased with the purchase! If you are a first time generator owner like us, don’t wait until you need it to open the bow! It does take some setting up before first use!

I just received this genset a few days ago. The instruction book was very good--it gave simple, straight forward instructions on how to set up the unit. I ran it on both gasoline and propane, and on both, it started on the very first pull!! Relatively quiet for the amount of power it provides.

I'm being asked to leave this review to receive a free cover. I've only had this thing a few days but everything works as expected. I have no complaints of any significance to speak of. I ran it for an hour to break it in and tested it with a small load. It starts on the first pull when on gasoline and it takes a few tries on propane. I purchased this because my former Champion failed to start after a decade or so of use and also because you just can't buy generators these days. Everyone is out of stock. Anyway, I hope they let me revise my answers later after I've had a chance to use it.
