Easy to use

This is the first generator I've had. It's super easy to use. Love that it can work off gas or propane. Easy to move with the wheels. During a winter storm, we powered a fridge, two space heaters, lamps, electric blankets, computer charging, etc. When we tried 3 space heaters, it did blow the circuit, but we were running them all on the regular 110 plug. Was able to find the special generator cord online only, but didn't get a change to use it yet.

Impressed so far

I have only ran the generator for about 2 hours to get started on the initial break in of the unit however I must say that set up and assembly of the wheels and stand was simple and straightforward. The unit cranked very easily and all the instructions were very clear. I hope that I don't have to use it however I am confident that if it is needed that it while provide more than sufficient power to run our 30' travel trailer with ease.

Worked great

We lost power during one of the many 2020 hurricanes to hit Louisiana. We were told the power would be out 3-4 days so we bought the generator for our refrigerator and freezer. It worked great but we only needed it 3-4 hours. Our power came back on much earlier than expected. Had I known I would have waited.

Dual power options are great!

We just bought three of these, and I haven't used mine yet. So, I can't speak on the performance of this yet. I will update after I use it. I am excited that I can use either gas or propane. One thing I didn't like though was that the big yellow warning tag that was on the other two generators we purchased was not on this one. That is dangerous to not have the warning tag on here, even though I know not to use it in the house.

A great generator at a great price

We just bought this today and have not used it yet. I love the options of multiple outlets since we own a 5th wheel trailer. Also, a little over a month ago we had a storm come thru that knocked power out. Some people had no electricity for over a week. What made it bad was it was still in the 100's ( I live in Arizona). Now, I won't have to worry about something like that.

great product JIC

Bought this generator to have in case we lost power due to storms. I assembled it when they were predicting severe cold weather and attached a tank of propane. Pulled the cord a few times and it fired right up. Never had to run it for any length of time but felt safe having it ready should we need it.

Easy and quick to set up and use

The generator was bought and needed to be used immediately. It is a great product. It probably took longer to take it out of the box and put the wheels on than it was to get it up and going. It ran continuously for about 6–8 hours and was easy to refuel.

New Dual Fuel Gen

Purchased a 5300DF generator after much research. Delivered on time with no visible damage, very clean. Appreciate the added oil, tools, tires, funnel and propane hookup. Filled with gas and starts up, used propane and works also. Have not had the opportunity to plug anything into it at this time so gave it 3 stars.

Great priced generator for residential use.

I purchased this generator last week and I am extremely happy. It runs on both Propane and Gasoline but Gasoline is more energy efficient. For 4.7 gallons of Gasoline the runtime was 14 hrs for 1 refrigerator, 2 laptops, 3 phone chargers, 3 lights. For 15 pounds of Propane the runtime was 8 hrs for 1 refrigerator, 2 laptops, 3 phone chargers, 3 lights.

Great Generator for Motorhome

I bought this generator to replace the Onan 5500 generator in my 1998 motorhome. The Westinghouse generator works well and can easily power my entire motorhome running both A/C units and other appliances at the same time. I like the multiple plug ins and the ability to run either 120 or 240v. Would be 5 Stars if started on the first pull every time, however it does start consistently on the second pull every time using gas for fuel. A primer button may help this. The way the unit is mounted creates very little vibration for a small engine.
