Big bang for the price

Bought this a few months back. Had an interlock and a 30amp line wired to my panel. My whole house is electric and powers the whole house. Only thing I have to do is run either the hot water heater or furnace/AC seperate cant run them both at the same time. No deal breaker

Excellent value

Excellent value. Great instructions. Went together easy (feet and wheels). Includes a screw-in funnel for adding the 10-30 oil (which is included). Started right up on propane. Ran the one-hour burn-in problem free. Will work perfectly in 240 volt mode (120 volts on L-1 and L-2) for our RV. Only negative is that the oil drain is located right over the frame, so to prevent a mess we will need to rig up some kind of "flume" (if you will) to direct used oil to a suitable container.

Very easy set up and started right away!

Very easy set up started right away! The instructions were very straightforward! I’ve never owned a generator before and just followed the instructions and got everything set up with 1/2 hour. It started right up and I am ready to go to this winter! For you ladies out there who are looking for a generator, this is it you can do it yourself relatively easily...I needed my 16-year-old son to help me tip it over to get the wheels on but everything else I did myself!

Perfect For Hurricane Season

This is the perfect solution for hurricane preparedness. Last year we lost power for 4 days and gasoline was very hard to find without driving nearly an hour away to find it. The propane option now gives us twice the fuel source. Runs our free-standing A/C unit and our window unit to make it through the heat, as well as a few fans, a light or charge our electronic devices.

Almost perfect

I bought this generator a month ago. It has to be outside for obvious reasons, but also has to be covered from the elements. I have a well ventilated generator house that I’ve been using for years, but this generator won’t work in it. Very disappointing. If only there were the availability of a kit to add on exhaust, I’d give it five stars. As it is, I have to go out and turn it off and cover it up every time it rains. Makes no sense to have a piece of equipment that must be covered, and it not be able to be covered.

Great Generator for hurricane season/outages

I won this generator at a Hurricane Expo! The unit came inclusive with all the necessary extra parts. Very happy with the dual fuel option. Nice compact size and easy start for a female. Wheels make the unit easy to store and move when necessary. Instructions for operation/maintenance of the unit are very easy to follow. My portable generator is a GREAT relief for the upcoming hurricane season.

Good generator

I received the unit today and was pleased with it. It was well packed and easy to access. The instructions are plain and easy to read. I assembled it and started it at about a 10% load and was surprised by how quiet it is. The panel is well laid out and easy to use. Used it with gasoline today. My plans are to use it with propane when I can get it connected to my tank.

Westinghouse 5300DFv

I purchased this unit about 1.5 years ago and just recently opened the box due to lack of need. As an engineer I was impressed on the build of the machine from the packaging, the build, the thorough instructions, and the fact that it started right up after sitting in the box all this time.

Generator equals peace of mind

We received this generator as a Christmas present from our adult children. We live in mid-central Wisconsin in the country. We needed a backup generator for when the electricity goes out due to a blizzard, thunderstorm, suicidal squirrel, etc. We like this generator as it is easy to handle, easy to set up, will run on gasoline, or it can be connected to our propane gas tank. It gives us great peace of mind to know that the water pipes will not freeze in winter nor will our freezers not run in the summer.

Great generator P C

purchased this generator at my local club they had it in a great display area where it got my attention. the fact that it was dual fuel is a great advantage when R VING. the fuel being propane of choice because of safety. just a great product because of the fact that they build very large motors and electric Transformers and many others. The name WESTINGHOUSE IS WELL KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY AND ALL OVER THE WORLD
