Review: Solid generator - Purchased to provide temporary power for refrigerator, small portable AC, and a few portable electronics for occasional outages. Because I'm not a heavy user, I was mainly looking for good value - I did not need to pay for something that was going to run 100 hours a week for years on end. It just needs to work when I need it. While Westinghouse is a old name in electrical (most of the western world's big nuclear reactors are built by Westinghouse and George Westinghouse invented alternating current) the brand name has been sold a few times for different applications and for this one is now retained by a company owned by an investment group, so I tend to be skeptical of applicability of "130 years of experience". Claim is this generator is designed in the US and manufactured overseas (mine was made in Vietnam). So far, happy with the purchase. desertcart delivered it right up to my garage which was nice. Took 10 minutes to install the wheels and fill it with oil. The unit is certainly well built, very solid frame and motor. Fired right up on a propane tank. I'll tend to run it on propane for shorter durations so I do not have to worry about emptying gasoline out of the tank for longer term storage. That being said, stated gasoline usage rates (about 10 gallons a day at 50% load) are manageable for a multi day event and one of the reasons I purchased this size of generator (I need to be able to store a few days worth of gasoline for this to be useful). There is not an hour meter on the unit to track usage. Would suggest buying one (they are very inexpensive) to stick on the unit to track usage so you do your maintenance on time. Quite easy to push around on the wheels, relatively small footprint for garage storage (about the size of a cooler). Was pleased with the noise level - no open frame generator is quiet but running this 20 feet away from my house it's barely noticeable inside and not at a level where it will rattle my neighbors home. All in all, happy with the unit - really good buy.
Review: Great Quality - Easy set up, Works as expected. Great product

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know what's the difference between the c and cv models? Thanks**
A: Not sure.  However, the 5300 DFc does not have an electric start but the 5300 DFcv does.  The 5300 DFcv has a push button electric start, the other does not.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Is it safe for electronics such as computers and TVs?**
A: This generator has a THD of up to ≤23%. Consult with the manufacturer of your electronic devices to figure out maximum permissible THD levels for operation.

**Q: does this genearator have a 50 amp recepticle. If not what do you do for an RV with 50 Amp?**
A: I bought the Westinghouse 5300/6600 and it did not have a 50A receptacle either. What I did was buy a dog-bone adapter for the 30A receptacle I had on mine and it worked great.

**Q: Can i use the wgen5300dfcv generator to power computer electronics and tv?  thanks**
A: Most electronics communications devices and computers do not like generator power. Mine were connecter through a UPS to the generator and the UPS' were not happy with the generator power. Inverters are better suited for sensitive electronics devices and communications. Most electronics communications devices designed and built today have electronic line noise filters integrated into the power supply circuitry and they may work just fine on generator. I did not attempt to run the computers straight from the generator power during my initial test run. My main concern at that time was two full refrigerators and a full stand alone freezer. Hope this help you out some.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Quality
*by C***N on January 24, 2026*

Easy set up, Works as expected. Great product

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ First use, Worked great
*by J***A on December 19, 2025*

Recently had a big storm go through our area. We lost power for approx 19 hours. It was easy to move the generator from our shed to the house and get set up. It fired up right away and we were back in business. Easy to use and worked great to power up our house. We couldn't even hear it in the house so the noise wasn't bad at all. Great product.
