Expert opinion

The Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment WGen5300DFcv Dual Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator is a fantastic product that I have been using for the past few months and have had an incredibly positive experience with. This generator has a unique ability to run on both gasoline and propane, so you don t need to worry about running out of either fuel source.

The WGen5300DFcv has an impressive output wattage of up to 6,600 watts, which can easily power a wide range of home appliances and electronics. The generator also has four total power outlets, including one 5 20R 120V household duplex receptacle, one RV Ready TT 30R 30 amp receptacle, and one transfer switch ready L14 30R 30 amp receptacle. All outlets have rubber covers for added safety.

It is powered by a 274 CC Westinghouse 4 Stroke OHV engine featuring a long lasting cast iron sleeve with automatic low oil and carbon monoxide CO shutdown. It also comes preloaded with oil, an oil funnel, propane hose, tool kit, wheel kit and user s manual so you can get started right out of the box minimal assembly required .

This product is great for those who need a portable generator for home backup or recreational use such as camping or tailgating. It has a 4.7 gallon fuel tank with fuel gauge so you can keep track of how much fuel you have left. It also runs for up to 14.5 hours on 120/240V voltage selector switch. The generator is EPA and CARB compliant and backed by 3 year limited service labor and parts coverage plus nationwide customer service network in case you ever need assistance with your purchase.

Overall, I am very impressed with the Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment WGen5300DFcv Dual Fuel Home Backup Portable Generator. It offers reliable power generation in both gasoline and propane fuels, making it very versatile in its usage scenarios. This generator also features multiple safety features such as overload protection and automatic voltage regulation as well as minimal assembly required right out of the box so that anyone can easily set it up without difficulty. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and powerful home backup portable generator!
