I bought this after researching so many generators. I found this one by mistake and immediately bought it. I wanted the duel fuel just in case there was an emergency and gasoline wasn't easily obtainable plus you can store propane forever unlike gas. It does not have push start which is kind of a bummer however I got to thinking how often I will use this and if will only be for emergencies so that luxury is just that a luxury. I'm happy to have this for emergencies. It makes me feel comfortable and makes me feel safety for my family especially living in Florida with hurricanes. I've been through so many and have gone without power for over a month multiple times. Now I have this to save my food and run a window unit. Better safe than sorry

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.

After Hurricane Helene we decided to buy this generator and I’m very satisfied with a purchase other than the fact that the wheels do not come with the generator. There are also are no instructions on how to buy them. Wheels shouldn’t be that expensive that they should be added into the price of this product.

Just bought as hurricane Ian was approaching SWFL and has been working flawlessly ! Duel fuel which will be good to run on propane to end service before storing so the gasoline won’t sludge the carburetor. You can run on propane but it doesn’t run as long and a little less kw. Would highly recommend.

I bought this after a horrible storm hit us for 3.5 days! I was fortunate to have electricity when others didn't. So I thought it would be hard for me to learn how to operate since I'm a single 57 year old woman. Piece of cake! I chose to use propane. It was so quiet and no worries on leaving stored for carborater problems later. I didn't have problems connecting the tank either! Just read the instructions guys!

Shipped very timely packed well in excellent condition. Oil for the equipment was remeasured which was a nice touch as well as funnel supplied. Serviced as indicated and use the remote to start. Very nice started right up ran smoothly Set the breaker and generator to 130 plug a fan in and it powered it just fine not laboring by the motor at all. Purchased this for an off grid configuration due to the remote start and 220 feature to hook directly to my electric panel. Also like the very economical run time on 50% load, 3 year warranty and cast iron block sleeve. Looking forward to many years of service with the unit.

I bought January 2024 used only at hunting camp. Generator motor surged off an on. Used 2 weeks in January. Then started using again in Late October. First of December it quit powering the 2 30amp outlet. Only double 110 outlet works. Unable to find receipt.

This generator has fantastic features and the longest run time I believe in it's class. Setup is easy and intuitive. Best buy for the money. My only complaint would be the oil plug. It's plastic and in a hard to reach spot so I found it difficult to screw back in.

The dual fuel option is great! I don't have to worry about gasoline left in the tank going bad after a few months and clogging up the carburetor. Instead, if there's a power outage I can just run it as needed from my BBQ LP gas tank and usually that will suffice for normally short power outages in our locale. If they are longer than expected, I can then easily switch to gasoline and add a fuel stabilizer after use. Easy to set up. Goes faster and easier after I read the manual. The extra time, I found was worth it. I am very mechanically adept and able to repair almost anything, but I learned a lot from the excellently written manual.

I picked this up today, and so far, I'm testing it out using only propane. My wife insisted on purchasing a model with an electric start. I'm glad that she did because I can't start it using the recoil handle. I have tried it with and without the choke. I cut grass weekly with a lawn mower that only has a recoil handle, so I'm surprised that I am unable to start the generator using that method. Using the electric start with propane seems to be providing the correct voltage to the outlets that I have tested. I will contact Westinghouse technical assistance about the recoil issue. Also, the generator seems a lot louder than I expected it to be. I will recommend this generator to a friend, if I can work out the recoil issue.
