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!

Haven't used it yet, but finally got it to turn on using propane only. The choke seems tricky to get it right. We ended up flooding it while trying to start it so many times, but it finally started by turning the propane completely off, but then it died again. We got it started three times by playing with the choke feature. Unfortunately, I am an older female and I do not have the strength to pull the "lawn mower" type start cord strong enough to start it. If it weren't for the two gentlemen who helped me set it up, it would have never gotten started with just me. Otherwise, it looks like a nice model. It's super loud, though. I will need to have a man come over to start it in case of a hurricane, and to move it away from the back of the house.

Box was a little beat up but the generator was perfect, It took 5 min to unbox install wheels connect batter and hook it up to propane, It started right up using the push button electric start and powered a few things in the garage, it is much quieter than my old unit and I look forward to many years of service from it. duel fuel feature is a must for me and I would recommend it to anyone needing a new one. Buy American whenever Possible IMO

We just had a 12-hour power outage thanks to hurricane Zeta and I'd finally had enough of hoping our fridge and chest freezer full of food wouldn't spoil every time we have a major outage so I shopped around and selected this Westinghouse. I especially like the dual fuel so I can get started with my spare propane tanks which never spoil. For long outages, I can go get gas or use the 20 gallons from my truck. It's not as large or heavy as I expected which is great. The fold-out handle makes it much easier to move than I thought it would be. Very easy to set up, filled with oil, connected battery, hooked up to LP tank and it fired right up. Much quieter than I expected as well, though certainly far from silent. I like all the options 120/240V, transfer switch ready, push-button start/stop, remote start/stop. I do NOT look forward to using it during the next power outage, but I do feel much better knowing I have a solid power source for when it does happen.

I bought this generator for camping and for the potential to power my house in an emergency. I have used it camping and it easily powered my AC cooling unit and all my other 120v needs. The generator noise is about what I expected for this size. I used it with both gasoline and propane, which was a nice option.

So far I love this generator it has the best features. It started on the first try with the remote control and with the push button. That was one of the reasons I choose this model. Its more than enough power to run the things I need to when the power is out. Where I live the power goes out a lot with every storm. The last time was the last straw so I decide to get this generator. So if you're looking for something that is easy to start, plenty of power, and duel gas this is the one for you without breaking the bank

Have used this several times now after power outages and it starts every time. Large fuel tank allow us to sleep all night without needing a refill. Our last one was smaller. Used propane tank too although it doesn't last as long as the gas tank it's still acceptable.

Had all features we were wanting. Gas and propane, #3 and #4 plug-ins. Had problems with the first, was damaged. But they handled the problem, sent another and it started on first pull. Runs quieter then we thought, another plus. We are happy with it. We also bought the extended warranty.

The main reason I bought this was because of the duel Fuel. I wanted something in the event of a power outage that would be large enough to run the essential things needed in the house. It Also make a nice addition when working out on the property, allowing me to use my corded tools when I need them. Propane is easy to store, transport and has a long shelf life. One downfall was the mounting brackets for the wheels were bent when I received it. I had read other reviews and notice this to be a problem, maybe not on the manufacture but for sure on the shipping company. When you pay this type of money for a product you expect it to be in perfect shape when you receive it. In all I am satisfied with the generator and would recommend it.

I had been comparing dual fuel generators for quite awhile, and the 5300 ticked all the boxes for us: dual fuel, electric start (we're getting older.....), able to hook up to house via transfer switch if we choose, and price in our budget. It arrived in perfect shape, and we had feet and wheels attached in no time. We're excited to test it out in a "pretend power outage" in the near future.
