I bought this generator to use in building a cabin, but it really came in handy when our area had a series of severe storms and we were out of power at home for 6 days. I was able to keep my 2 refrigerators and several fans going. The fuel consumption was great. It would run all night on about 4 gallons. The setup was very easy. I am so glad I had this backup to keep us going.

We bought this in January, with New England winters upon us, we have lost power too many times, my wife who is the queen of research looked and looked, and found that this Westinghouse was the best bang for the buck, I love it, easy to use and love the dual gas feature, that is a big help, we absolutely recommend this generator, you will love it, we do.

Our power was off because of a tornado which came through Kentucky December 10, 2021. We decided to purchase this generator to save our food which was in the freezer. It worked great. We always said that we needed to buy a generator. There's nothing better than the decision being made for you.

Did a lot of research before deciding on the WGen5300DFV, Took it thru the break-in period did great. Not as loud as I expected. Purchased a 25-foot 10/3 Conntek GEN1688 L14-30P to multi-Outlet, 30 Amp 4-Prong power cord to go with the generator. Note: the manual does not make it clear, but you must set the voltage switch to 240 volts to activate the L14-30R receptacle.

I had this unit up and running within 30 minutes of delivery. packaging was good. Unit build quality seems very good. I used LPG for the 30 minute test run. I also used an L14 cord that splits the power to four separate 110 outlets. Everything worked flawlessly. I will test the unit with gas just to make sure it works. I do not plan on using gas as the primary fuel source as it does not store as well as LP. This unit is for emergency backup of critical items in my home during power outages. The unit ran very smoothly and showed no vibration issues.

I purchased this just over two years ago, used maybe 150hrs, then it quit. It started a real slight clatter, then nothing. No compression. I've had it sitting about 6mos now. Finally got the time to look into it. Low-n-behold, a valve retainer broke, valve dropped into cylinder, piston pushed it up through the head. Good thing about it, it only cracked the piston (didn't break it, no scaring in the cylinder) just the top end rework.

This was bought after knowing we were going to be without power for a few days. I was quite happy with the initial opening and setup (very easy). I got it up and running quickly with no issues. I had to work the following day and had to tell my wife how to stop and restart it and she was quite happy with the ease of it.

Bought this and installed an outlet to my breaker box for it. The 5300 easily ran my fridge, roll-out portable A/C unit, TV, and ceiling fans. Easy to switch from gas to propane. Small but mighty! So glad I bought it before our first hurricane of the season!

I bought this portable generator as aback up for power outage. Hadn't had to use it for this reason but did use it for power tools away from electrical. Easy instructions, was able to follow step by step. Not as loud as I through it would be. Glad the oil sent was the correct amount. Didn't have to keep checking the dip sticp. Very pleased.

Power was out and looked for a power generator that was on SCE’s list for a rebate. Thankfully the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv was on the list and in stock at a nearby Sam’s Club. Bought it and used it with propane gas to power up both our fridges and saved our food from spoiling.
