Good features, easy to use

I purchased this WGen5300DFcv portable generator to use as a secondary power source during power outages. I unpackaged it from the box and followed the instructions for minor assembly, starting and operating. The instructions were easy to follow and understand. I hooked my generator up to propane and let it run for 45 minutes during that time cycling various electrical connections and items. Very pleased with this Westinghouse brand, this was my first purchase with this brand and based on my experience there will be future Westinghouse purchases made.

Nice Unit

Bought online and had shipped. Couple of barely noticeable dings. Very easy to put wheel and feet on. Used extra cardboard in box so I wouldnt scratch frame tipping up on it's side. (I did this before adding any fluids. Only took a couple of pulls to start. Only ran for a few minutes and checked the 120 outlets as I don't have 4 prong cord yet. Seems like a decent quality unit.

Everything you need in one unit

This generator has everything you need to operate Items to your needs and to maintain the unit to keep it running for many years. I received the unit via UPS and after assembling the unit with a few items such as the wheel, mounting feet, oil and gas I connected the battery and the unit started right up and ran smoothly. I found the unit to run much quieter then I expected. Remember folks to run the unit for 1 hour with no load (nothing plugged into it) this is an important step in the break in of the generators gas motor. I'm very happy with my purchace.

Perfect balance for emergencies

Bought this for weather emergencies. Very easy assembly. Well built. Perfect balance of power, price, and portability. Not the quietest generator but that wasn’t high on my list. Enough power to keep essentials running for a few days if power is down.

Durable and easy to use

Ordered my generator for an upcoming event where I will be needing power for my deep fryer. I have yet to try out the generator itself, but the set up was easy for the wheels (which means easy transport) and the user manual is extremely helpful and clear on instructions. The whole machine feels durable and strong.

Easy Operation

I bought this for back up power for projected storm power outages…haven’t had a generator for 30 plus years, this will meet my needs as I am too old to tolerate extended outages..it’s easy to operate and has multiple power ports. It’s duel fuel and comes with propane connections, an oil fill tube and spark plug wrench. I will have to purchase the necessary power cords. It has wheels and a drag handle..

easy, peasy, lemon squezzy

this generator just arrived, put the front rests and wheels on in just five minutes, filled with the oil that came with, put gas in and started the very first pull. it says to run without load for 1 hour to break in engine, doing that now. no damage upon arrival. from box to running in about 15 or 20 minutes. will try putting a load on it shortly, but if it starts easy, the battle is won!

Electric start generator

I bought this back in May for my mother. She was having yrouble starting the one she had with the pull cord. I bought this electric start and trded her generators. I bought it to hook up to a house=generator transfer switch during power outages. The key fob start is get for not having to go outside to start it up during a storm and the 14.5 hr run time is great for running over night. So far no issuses. Best to kept it covered and out of the elements in a generator shed.

Has the features I wanted

I just bought this a week and a half ago so this is what I know so far.The generator with the electric start(my husband really likes that)has been running very good so far.We plan to use it with our 5th wheel when leave in November and head for Tx.Our other generator disappeared last year when we were gone for the day.It has everything we wanted and it's nice looking so we're looking forward to our trip and going without electric when we stop.

Great features in a small and compact design

I just received this generator as a Christmas present to provide electricity during any local power outages. Assembly is minimal, quick and easy. Easy to get running - add oil/gas, turn fuel valve, choke and then pull and go. Easy to start and runs well. While it is heavy, it has wheels to allow it to be rolled around without having to lift the whole unit. Good buy given nice features, ease of use, and compact size.
