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 began set-up today with professional assistance, an electrician was initiating all procedures in the manual. Unfortunately, there was an updated manual that we didn't have. The setup process caused a small part to malfunction making the generator inoperable. Hoping that the small part will make a difference and it will eventually function.

I recently purchased the Westinghouse dual fuel generator in May of 2023 and have been quite impressed so far with it. The fact that it can run on both gas and propane is a major advantage, providing flexibility and options depending on fuel availability. The remote start feature is a fantastic addition, making it convenient to start the generator from a distance. Setting up the generator was a breeze, as it came with everything needed to get started. This attention to detail by Westinghouse is commendable, as it saves time and ensures a smooth setup process. It’s always frustrating when you have to hunt down additional components or accessories. When I fired up the generator, it started without any issues. The reliable starting mechanism gives me confidence that it will consistently perform when needed. Whether it’s for powering appliances during a power outage or for outdoor activities, this generator seems reliable and capable. I would definitely recommend this generator to others.

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.

Incredible generator very well designed and a very capable machine packaged extremely well and very easy to understand instructions I would recommend this generator to everyone I researched many generators and I'm so glad I chose this one extremely well built

Replaced my old generator and will be ready for the next storm. Added oil, gas and hooked up battery. Started right up without hesitation. Super simple to operate. A little heavier than I expected and needed a dolly to move by myself. Thought the remote was missing but found it clipped on the pull start cord. Would recommend without hesitation.

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.

Easy assembly and start up only took about 20 minutes. Started right up, and runs like a champ. Has all the features I was looking for; Dual fuel, 240 volt output, a 30 amp NEMA L14-30 4 wire plug receptacle to connect the generator to the house breaker box via a standard transfer switch and cable, plus electric start to boot. Running off propane was my biggest concern... I've had problems in the past with gasoline generators gumming up from fuel going bad, but propane basically will last indefinitely. I keep 4 full tanks ready to go when I need them, and never stress about the fuel. The generator came with everything needed to get going, including the regulator and hose to connect to a standard propane tank.

I bought this to back up our 1500 squarefoot home in conjuction with a mechanical interlock. I love being able to use propane which can be stored much longer and more conveniently than gasoline. I use propane already for our BBQ so now I will just have a couple more containers.....just in case. Great product, hopefully it will stand the test of time.

This looks like an excellent purchase. Well built. Clear instructions. Started right up first try. Haven't used it that much and hope not to -- it's a backup purchase. But I suspect it will be great. Delivered very quickly and packaging protected it well. Heavy, but with handle and large wheels moves easily.
