Inspect before use!

So right out of the box I have a gas fuel leak coming from the gas shut off valve. I'm not upset, but hope other owners will inspect their units before using full time. If left unattended this leak could have caused a fire. I'll be reaching out to the manufacturer for a replacement. On a more positive note. The generator fired up first pull with no issues and ran for a while until I found the leak.

Easy to use! GREAT power output for the price!

This generator was purchased during the power outage caused by hurricane Helene and has been absolutely *CRUCIAL* for keeping our lives stable. It provides excellent power for the price, and can easily maintain a separate fridge and freezer at the same time as powering several home lights and small appliances, like a CPAP machine. Changing the oil could be improved if the drain plug was positioned better, but it is otherwise easy to do. Just make sure your pan is short (height-wise) and long enough to catch the oil as it falls and spreads along the frame below it. It only holds .74 quarts of oil (provided at purchase and about 24 oz) and needs to be changed after the first 25 hours of use. After that it needs to be changed every 50 hours. The generator will run for approximately 13-14 hours on a full tank of 4.7 gallons of gas. If you prefer, it can use propane as a fuel source, but we have not used it with propane. Overall highly recommend this product.

The generator saved the day! ..and our basement.

We were without power for what seemed forever. Our sump pump couldn't run and our basement started to take on water. Friends loaned us their Westinghouse generator; it was so quick and easy to prep and power things, that we immediately purchased one of our own.

Excellent first generator

I bought this as my first ever generator and I am pleased so far with it. Haven't had a reason to actually use it yet but I am happy that it can run on gas OR propane and have enough power for my needs. It is easy to set up and the instructions are clear in the manual. I would recommend.

Back up power

I bought this generator for Back up power. We have had some power disruptions and expect more. This is big enough to handled needed refrigeration and power up electronics. Gonna keep it as stand buy on propane. Gasoline is a long term outage if needed.

Great Value

I spent several weeks researching portable generators from different manufactures and for the price and the features I chose the Westinghouse WGEN5300, it has all the features I was looking for like the twin fuel options, and it was easy to put together and easy to move around.

I TRUST THIS GENERATOR!

I have owned several generators—most of them smaller than this one. Sure they’re lighter, quieter, more portable, BUT, what good is all of that if they don’t have enough power?! This gennie has plenty of power to keep you in business in a storm, power outage or crap-hit-the-fan scenario. The dual fuel is a really nice feature. Run out of gas? Grab the propane tank off the ol’ BBQ and you’re back in business! I’m a fan! I’d trust this heavy duty dude in a bind!

Great Value

I recently purchased this generator. Very minimal and easy assembly. After putting the oil in it fired right up on propane, three pulls for first start. I'm surprised by how quiet it is! Connected it to my house and it powered my house perfectly! We'll see about longevity but out of the box its great! Wish it had electric start but I see that as a convenience. Great generator!
