I bought it 2 weeks ago to go with the travel trailer we are using. An electrical engineer friend of mine taught me that "Amps X Voltage = watts drawn....With a 30 AMP plug, that means my trailer has a maximum draw of 3600 watts. This unit has 4800 running watts on propane so we can run both the air conditioner and the micro and not tax the generator!!!!!. The unit started the first time and it has a 30 Amp plug that fits right into our trailer plug.. I would suggest the following:1. On the first time, run the unit without a load for 1 1/2 hours and then change the oil. This assures that any assembly particles in the engine gets removed at the outset. 2. If you use propane (I recommend for a whole alotta reasons), get some teflon tape from your hardware store and use it on the male connectors for the propane hoses. Makes screwing on much easier and assures no leaks . All in All, I am very satisfied :-)

I had problems right away as the generator would not start with the battery. I had to have the charger hooked up then it would start. I finally found the problem as a 10 amp fuse holder on a red wire from the battery was wedged between the front panel and the motor. The fuse was missing and was in the shipping bag cover. I replaced the and it started right up. I bought a wheel set for it also and made a thinner washer for one wheel. As I was pushing it back into the garage the whole unit tipped over because the handle does not lock in the up position and it landed on my foot and smashed my right foot. Very poor design!!! Other then that it runs great

There are must haves when choosing a generator and this unit has them all. Duel fuel - check...240 volt for well pump and hot water - check....electric start for 105 lb wife - check. It even has push button remote start. As far as outlets go, it has one of each of the most popular types, 1 standard 120v wall type outlet, one 120v travel trailer outlet, and one twist lock 240v transfer switch outlet. It can run everything in my house - hot water, well pump, stove, fridge, deep freeze - just not at the same time. Sound-wise, it's a bit on the deeper side and doesn't seem to be that loud. Running it in the driveway 20 feet from the house and you could hear it faintly when inside. It does not seem overly loud to me. Would I run it late nite in a packed campground - no, but that's not really it's intended purpose. It's a great general purpose generator with 240 volt capabilities. Make sure to look at some YouTube videos on break in procedures as it really does make a difference. Overall, I really like the generator and recommend it.

I bought this back In June 2023 and Im glad I did.I just got a chance too use it this month August,this generator is amazing and it is duel fuel or propane the cool thing about this generator is it has a remote control that you can stand inside while the generator is outside 20 feet from your house, it's suppose too be from your house and still use the remote too start the generator and it has a charger plug in too charge the battery.Iam so happy with my purchase and it works EXCELLENT.

I am so happy with this purchase. The option to run the unit on gas or propane is wonderful. When we have power outages in our area the gas station lines become very long, so having the ability to simply hook up the propane tank to the unit will be fantastic.

Good Generator. Have the gasoline only 5300 and it rocks along - just change the oil as required. This one will provide more redundancy by running on LP also. Westinghouse - whoever delivers to HD damages your generators. I had to remove the manual start shroud as the cover was bent into the fan blades and shaved off a good 1cm.

The wife and I bought a home last year in Oklahoma, which is known for a lot of stormy weather in Fall and Spring. Power outages are fairly common here during these times of the year, so we figured that we'd need a generator for those times. The Westinghouse we got was a lovely blue (wife's words :-) with a control panel logically set-up. After putting the initial motor oil in it, the machine started right away using all 3 methods (pull-start, push button, and key fob.) Broke it in using just gasoline as fuel, and it ran beautifully. Haven't bought a propane tank for it yet, but that's on my next home center list.

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.

After researching for a generator to connect to my Energy Storage System and power my house when there is an outage. The max I can use is 3000 KW, so this is perfect at about 60-70 percent load. The dual fuel is useful as use propane ad the main and non-ethanol gas if needed for extended outage.

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.
