I recently bought this generator due to power outages in the winter. I needed one that would run my water pump, and this one can do that. Living in the country means our roads are the last to be plowed. Therefore, a generator with fuel options works well. The fuel in the propane doesn't go rancid like with Gasoline and can be stored easily. I also love the ease with which I can move this unit around. The folding handle and large wheels keep it off the cold ground, making it easy to move into place when I need to use it.

Electric start is great especially with key remote key fob. Unboxed, put on feet and wheels, added oil - started right up on propane - let run 45 minutes. Next tried gas, first start ran very rough and stalled. Started back up and ran rough for about 2 minutes then smoothed out. Have run a couple times now since and starts right up and runs well. Ran under 50% and 25% load - worked great. Compact and easy maneuver.

I think this generator has good features for the price! I am glad I chose a generator with duel fuel options. Last winter storm led to gas shortages, so having the option to use propane helps cover the bases. I was also draw to the feature of having a transfer switch will let you power things on your circuit breaker panel. Just wish this model came with push start as well.

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.

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.

We just bought this 5300DF a few days ago. Assembly was very easy. We used the remote start on the first start and it fired right up with no issues at all. The dual fuel is what sold me on this unit but the fact that I don't have to dislocated my shoulder to get it started was a bonus for me. I'm very happy with my purchase.

We received delivery at 2:42 this afternoon. After we checked that all the parts were included, my husband told me he wanted me to be very familiar with & comfortable using the generator. My husband handed me the instructions & asked me to assemble it. The instructions were very easy to understand. He stayed with me while I assembled it, gave me a hand when I needed a lift for the wheels. It was running like a dream by 4:30 that day. Like I said: Love it, love it, love it!

It was easy to assemble. It starts easy. The battery charger wasn't in the bag. I don't like the starter button-the old hold down until started is better. I don't like the remote. If you shutdown with the remote and don't go turn the gas off, the gas may leak while it's turned off.

Smaller than anticipated but that’s good in my opinion. Thrilled about the ability to use multiple energy sources if/when needed and the remote start function is awesome. I don’t plan on using much except for power outage back ups and hopefully those don’t arise much but if so I’ll be prepared

I purchased this generator in 2021, I just now saw that I could leave a review. The only problem I had with the generator was with the battery, eventually Westinghouse did send me a new battery to replace the one that was defective. All in all the generator has been very good to me and I'm very happy with it.
