Broken air cleaner
on April 6, 2021
Posted by: PjpJ
Haven’t been able to run it yet. After opening it when I brought it home, I noticed the side of the air cleaner housing was cracked and broken. Box showed no signs of damage when I picked it up from store. Still waiting on customer service...

WGen5300DF

Very well made generator, Comes with everything you need to set it up and to maintain it. I really like the Oil filler funnel that screws into the oil filler hole to fill it up with oil that they supplied. The instruction Manuel is very detailed on how the operate and service the generator. I wish I could say I was looking forward to an outage so I could use it, but hope not, Very reasonable price for all the features it has to offer. including remote start.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice unit

Waited several months for it to come back in stock. Ideal output for my needs and ability to run on propane was driver for selecting this model. Instructions are clear and concise. I added 0.7L of supplied oil, put on wheels and feet. Hooked up to propane and started with remote without issues. Let it run 1 hour unloaded to break in. A few days later I hooked it up to the house to test if it could power my essential loads, which it did without issue.
Had a little trouble getting oil dipstick to line up and thread properly. Other than that, I'm happy with this purchase.

I haven't used it yet, but I researched what I wanted in a generator, and this had it all. Looking forward to putting it together and testing it out. I don't know how I've lived in Florida so long without a generator...I guess I've been lucky.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Model for Home Backup & Emergencies
on April 1, 2021
Posted by: Oklahoma Outback
from Cross Timbers, OK
After the Oklahoma "Icenado" of Oct 2020 when we were w/o power for 4 days I determined to NEVER to BE a VICTIM & caught w/ my pants down. Thru heavy research I found the 5300DF (dual fuel) model the best match for our needs for a modest home w/ 5 people. It would be best for a large RV too. Westinghouse has the best ratio of Price Point, Power Output, best warranty, 1000s of 4+ star reviews & FREE delivery. Ordered it 1/12/21 & it was delivered 1/18/21. The setup is very easy. The nearest town is a 30min drive, so we're "out here". The Propane fuel option is really what sold me b/c it NEVER goes bad & you can hook the Generator to your home Propane tank by teeing off. I saw lots of people filling 5gal gas tanks to run generators at local stations. That ONLY works when the pumps have power. The Propane option is a no-brainer & is easier on my wife & daughters, esp. if you're using small 2gal tanks or a 100gal. The other PLUS is the REMOTE START FOB. You can turn it on from inside the safety of your home. It also has the push button start. I'm going to either install a transfer switch or install a breaker box interlock kit to run the generator directly into our house for emergency backup. We had neighbors w/o power & water for 10+ days in Oct. Family & friends in Texas were worse off during the Feb 2021 snow storm. The FACT that MOST of Texas was w/o power & H20 for 4-10 days is everyone's WAKE UP call that you're On your own. OYO. For my "off-grid" solar friends who were w/o power b/c of cloud cover & snow, the 5300DF will provide a better layer of confidence. You must be prepared cause we're in the Twilight Zone from now on. 2020 & 2021 was a trial-run.
