I bought this last month, but; I have not had a cause to use it as yet. I started it up and tested for a half hour and it seemed to work ok. Being able to use propane and/or gasoline is a bonus in that you don't have to mess with gas and have to remove the unused portion from the tank. I don't imagine that I will need it often, just for emergency power outages. One drawback is it only having 2 regular outlets for power. My previous generator had 4.

After a recent hurricane I was in need of a generator. I did some quick research and come across the Westinghouse wgen5300 DFcv. There was nothing I could find that had all of the features that this had at this price point. I purchased it had it shipped to my house,easy assembly put in gas and oil and now happy wife happy life.

Just unboxed, put oil in it, connected lp tank and pulled cord. Nothing happed. After several more attempts still no luck. It appears choke instructions are backwards. When I changed choke position it started on first pull. Very quite generator and runs very smoothly.

My brand new unit never started. Called tech support and after some going back and forth, they had us bring to a local shop. The shop could not get it fixed after getting 3 different parts from Westinghouse. Westinghouse then sent a new unit which arrived completed damaged and had to get returned. We finally have a new unit 2 months after initial purchase. It works on gas so far. We haven't tried the propane functionality yet. There is instruction that comes with the unit telling you to call technical support instead of returning to the store if there are any problems with the new unit. In our case, it would have saved us a lot of time and Westinghouse a lot of money (they were out the shop fee and 2 additional generators) if we just returned it to the store and bought a new one. All in all, we spent hours between calling Westinghouse, calling the shop, and travel to and from the shop. I contacted Westinghouse about any compensation for the inconvenience and have not heard back.

Bought my first generator after hurricane Helene hit in order to power our camper. We were out of power for a week but thanks to this generator my family was able to camp in the backyard comfortably. Haven’t tried powering it off propane yet but was excited to see it had that option which really comes in handy.

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

My sister in law was planning to get one and I ask her to get me one. After hurricane Beryl went through Katy TX, we were out of power for 5 days. I'm so glad this portable generator runs on both gasoline and propane. When our local shell gas station ran out of gas, i was able to use our propane tanks for a day and a half until we got a chance to fill up our gas tanks!

Bought this a couple weeks ago. Upon taking it out of the box, filling with oil, and gas. I am happy to report it immediately started up, unlike others I have had in the past. No issues whatsoever. Hoping not to have to use it with hurricane season, but happy to have a reliable unit if needed.

Just bought this generator to get ready for a storm. I love that i can use propane or gas. Propane is easy for me to store for long periods in between using the generator. And it came with everything I need including the hose to hook it up to the propane bottle!

An winter ice storm threat and possible power outages made me run out and buy this generator (based on other reviews). I got it home, unboxed it, put on the wheels, poured in the oil and a couple gallons of gas and it fired right up (and I'm 70 years old so if I can handle this generator a younger guy should have no problems). I plugged in a refrigerator and a couple lamps and everything worked fine. I'm ready for the ice storm.
