Great Buy!

We have been looking for a generator for a while. We decided on the Westinghouse because it would work for our needs. This generator is easy to use. The noise level is about the same as an air compressor which makes us happy.we will recommend it to our family and friends.

Good Dual fuel tranditional portable generator

Just purchased the 5300DFcv Dual fuel generator. It is very easy to setup. Comparing with another inverter generator that I have, this generator has all controls at easy access locations, It is easy to fill/remove the engine oil. Also it is very easy to drain the gas when put generator in long term storage. One of the reason that I purchased this item is that it can use BOTH gas and propane tank. It provides some redundancy. To use the generator for a short time, propane tank is very easy to hook up, and disconnect after use. You do not need to worry about draining the fuel when using gas. Using gas provide more power and is more suitable for power outage for an extended time.

Great Design

Just recently purchased due to the uncertainty of severe weather patterns. Although I have not had a power outage, I did test run this generator. It starts very easily and runs quietly. I tested the output & they are as specified. I like the gasoline/LP option. I always have both on hand. The RV option is also a great option. The stored handle makes it easy to move the generator to any location. I know I can count on this Westinghouse product as their products are well made and designed.

Very Quiet for a generator!!

I bought this not too long ago to run during hurricane season if needed. It is the duel fuel that runs off both propane and gas. On propane it is actually really quiet running. It works amazing and lasts a long time on one tank. It makes me a bit more comfortable knowing that I have it.

Dependable Company

Just bought it today and haven't used it yet. Westinghouse has been around for years and they have always been reliable. If I'm not mistaken they built the turbine generators on the submarine I was on during my tour in the Navy. I feel very comfortable purchasing their products.

Great Generator

I bought this for Hurricane Ian. I run it at a 40% load. I run it for a total of 10.5hrs on propane. When I took the 20lb bottle in to get it refilled it still had 2lbs of propane left in it. The books says 6.5hrs@50%. This is my experience only not saying they are wrong. This is a great generator. I recommend it

A really robust unit for the money

Had it shipped from Sam’s Club. Great price. Runs great and powers most things we have in a small mountain cabin when the power goes off. Have to pick and choose what you want powered but that’s what I wanted. Installing a power panel transfer switch is the way to go to take advantage of the 5300’s L14-30amp plug.

Dependable and easy to use

We bought this because we lost power of course and decided it was time to ensure we had some power to get by until power was restored. It was easy to assemble and before we knew it we had our fridge up and running with several other items. This was an investment that will surely pay off as this Westinghouse generator was easy to use and is dependable for years to come!

Good power at a great price

We bought this generator to help in case of power outages during storms, and as a backup power source for our RV. It was really simple to put into operation, and started right up in both gas and propane. The included toolkit kept me from digging through my toolbox, and it even includes a funnel to help pour the oil. Literally everything you need to start except the actual fuel. Haven’t used on our RV yet, but tested it on our household power items (heater, fridge, etc…) and it works great. Not as quiet as an inverter generator, but no louder than a lawnmower.

Not Assembled In China

I needed a standby generator as we frequently lose power, sometimes for days at a time. This is large enough to power the essentials and gas stingy enough that you don't need to keep barrels of gasoline on hand. The best part is, although it was not assembled in the USA, at least it wasn't made in CHINA. Best value I could find for the cost.
