I bought this item due to recently buying a travel trailer, use it to help open the slide and power the trailer up when I’m not near a plug in works great. Not to heavily to lug around and works great with the 30 amp plug, would recommend this to only my Travel Trailer buddies

Nice generator. Simple to operate and I love the dual fuel feature so that I can be assured that it will always start when using propane. It’s a nice compact design and, unlike other generators I’ve had, you can get to the air filter easily on this one. The noise level is about what I expected and is on par with most portable generators of this size. The oil fill funnel is a nice added touch that will help prevent oil spills during oil changes down the road. I also appreciate the tires being solid so that flat tires aren’t an issue.

The power went out at my home, which meant no water from the Well or power to my 3 Freezers. Who knew how long the power would be out due to an ice storm. This generator powered my Well and Freezers giving me peace of mind. I had water access and the meat in the freezers did not ruin.

I was looking for a moderately priced dual fuel generator that I could hook up to our house electrical system. I needed a 4 wire 240 volt. This one is perfect! Easy assembly of wheels and rubber feet. Hooked up a propane tank and it started right up (after filling it with oil of course!). Not very loud either. All I need now is a power outage!

Generator was very simple to start and operate, on my second try. First one I was shipped to as a dud and would not start. Second one arrived just fine—started up with some minor oil burning off & leaking. After that, it worked just fine for a 30 min test run. Overall quality seems just OK, but it does it’s job for the price.

I received the unit and inspected all around and found an air cover clip broken off. There were some slight bends in the frame, but nothing to keep it from operating. I filled the generator with oil and gas and ran the 1 hour break-in and then plugged in a space heater that put a load on and no problems. I plan to store it until I have the house wired to accept generator power and that will be the test.

I bought this a few months ago for emergency house power for the frequent South Eastern storms. Recently, there was a major power outage in the neighborhood. I connected the generator to the house, fired it up on the first pull, and within minutes I had full power (2 refrigerators, microwave, lights, ceiling fans, internet). The wife was happy!

Just bought this for backing up some of the house appliances. Never know what weather or “other” situation may come up and would as least like keep what I got refrigerated or frozen…refrigerated and frozen. It appears to be well put together but will confirm operation soon. It had some of the best reviews for the price point around.

This is a great item to have especially if you have numerous power outages as we do.My wife and kids got me Westinghouse 5300 for Christmas, and like clockwork , after a big snow Christmas night our power went off. We popped the generator out of the box and had it fired up in less than 15 minutes and it did everything we needed it to do.Love the blue color and the Westinghouse brand has always been a trusted name in our family for decades.

It's difficult to ding a product 1 star when it could easily be a 5. But too many reviews and including my own experience, resulted in a slightly damaged frame upon delivery. A little sand paper and black Rust-Oleum will fix but should even have to do that. Everything else is great about this generator, from build to options, and cost. Overall, still happy I went with Westinghouse.
