I love the easy push button start.

I'm getting older and I was having trouble using the rope pull starter on my old generator. And should I no longer be here my wife would definitely have problems. Now with the push button starter it's a piece of cake. And it is a quality piece of equipment.

Excellent quality

Last year hurricane Ian out of electricity almost 2 weeks, lost freezer goods, using candles flashlights, no fans really miserable. But not now this generator will make a difference if needed. Came boxed very good condition. Assembled wheels and front pads 15 minutes, added oil that came with it. Hooked up propane tank followed quick start reference guide and it fired right up. Hopefully I never need to use it but I’m now ready in case. A good feeling.

Good Decision!

I bought this last month and it is not installed yet. But, it arrived very quickly and I have been reading all about it for months and I know I will be satisfied with the performance. Have it out of the box waiting for install and everything looks fine. Even the installer said I have bought the best. Will give another review after it's installed.

Easy to handle.

I searched for months for a generator. I kept coming back to this 5300DF. Easy out of the box set up and start up even for a 67 year old. Remote start is great. I can wheel it around very easy to move it. I will recommend this product to my neighbors who are interested in a generator purchase.

Good backup for food storage power

I picked up one of these to keep the freezer and fridge running during the rare power outage that lasts more than a few hours, I hope to get several years of use out of it. I picked this one because of the small size and dual fuel options not to forget the remote start options as well.

Easy Start

The electric start was the best thing that came along. Right out of the box read up on the generator, installed the wheels and handle added the oil and was ready to go. Found a couple loose nuts on the mounts tightened them up and was good to go. Connected the propane tank tightened everything up hit the remote button and the generator started on the 2nd attempt. After warming up for a couple minutes plugged in some lights and everything worked. The real test will be when we lose power again .

Relieved to have this Generator!

Purchased this last month but haven't used it yet. I have been reading over the manual so I will know how to use it.This Feb ('23) and last Feb ('22) we were without power due to historical ice storms here in Texas. My 87 yr old husband is on Hospice care at home and I can't be without power again. I'm so relieved to have this generator now. I'm 82 and I think it will be easy for me to operate with the remote start feature. I also purchased some heavy-duty extension cords to use with it. Thank you Westinghouse for developing dependable products for the times we live in.

Compact, Quiet and Runs Smoothly

I am pleased with this purchase, and look forward running it on propane only for years to come. I have grown weary of having ICE engines ruined by gasoline varnishing the carburetor…and yes i use ethanol free gas, draining before storage. This thing is quiet, smooth and the electric start is a life saver for this 70-something year old body. Great purchase.

Peace of mind!

Hopefully I won't need this but now if the power goes out for any reason I won't have to worry about losing all the food in the deep freezer and two refrigerators! Love that it runs on either propane or gasoline. Its lighter than it's counterparts and a good value for the price!

Nice 5300Watt Generator

I needed a generator I can move. It was dual fuel which is a plus. So far propane companies don't want to hook up to it from a larger tank but haven't given that option up yet. I think they are just wanting a larger installation to sell to. It starts easy, on battery, a little manipulation of the choke position which is supposed to be automatic. Wish it had a voltage gauge to say what was being used. Also an hour meter to say when it needed oil changes and maintenance. They give u a puny oil funnel and tube that's bent up. They cud do better there. Tube is not long enuf. It's not noisy. Won't upset neighbors unless ur in an alley. It looks solid and well made, once running sounds smoothe. Set up instructions could be a lot clearer and not all different pages in the manual. One had to be intelligent to follow it all.But got there in the end and am quite happy after all the research I did that I bought one good for my needs. I would not put anyone off buying this make and model. Looks good to me so far.
