Westinghouse WGen5300DF
on October 17, 2020

I received my WGen5300DF generator on Thursday and fired it up on Saturdays and it runs rough and very erratic; out of the box. After getting online reading other reviews I saw others complaining about the same thing and having problems getting satisfactory results looks like I'm headed down the same road. I am registering my warranty to start the process.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just bought last night

Shipping box had sight tears in the top middle of the box. The generator had no damage where the tears appeared.
Unit appears to be very sturdy and well built.
The alternator cover was dented in - but the shipping box showed no sign of damage.
Aside from this I believe this to be a very good generator for my needs.
Just FYI, although this is a light weight generator compared to others, it is pretty heavy - if you are picking this up - take help.

Looks functional

In the beginning I had a problem with starting the unit. But after reading further in the owners manual I found out that I needed to connect the batter cables . I suggest that you identify the shortcoming by labeling the connection that needs to be done ,once I did that the unit started up great have it running for the past 1 1/2 hours to brake in the engine. The unit did not come with the generator charge unit so I called and am waiting for a call back,also the cover on the alternator was dented I also reported that . It appears that the unit is well made and will do the job for me when I need it. Thanks for a fine product.

Pros:
* 3-year warranty which I'm afraid I'm going to be using if they ever answer the phone.
* push button start
* quieter than comparable Champion model.
* starts right up on either gasoline or propane
* fuel gauge

Cons:
* L14 Outlet does not work. I connected the cable to my Champion generator and it worked fine so I know it's not the cable.
* like other comments packaging is terrible, no padding just a thin box, I had it delivered to Lowe's thinking that it might be in better shape picking it up there but the box had a hole ripped in it. The frame is bent and I think that's from the factory not from Shipping.
My suggested improvements would make this an awesome generator: Have four 120v standard Outlets instead of two. Add a digital display that shows the load level, watt level, hours ect. Put some styrofoam in your packaging to help protect it during shipping like I got when I bought a dishwasher.

WGen5300DF

The generator looks good, is not that loud. The remote start works flawlessly, and is a must have. The battery arrived charged, and installed in working order. The generator started up off propane with no issues, I have not put a load on it just yet, I have no doubt that it will work flawlessly. So far I would say it's a 5 star investment. Nice job Westinghouse!

Put in 30 amp house breaker and did a test run. Ran everything in the house, that runs on 120 volts with no problems using propane.

Easy Set-up and Remote Control is awesome

Recently purchased this generator because we live on the coast. Set it up this weekend in preparation for upcoming storm. Set up was very easy and the remote control function is awesome. We can turn it on and off without having to go outside. Great feature.
