Great Features

I bought the dual fuel generator to make sure I was prepared for hurricane Francine. I love the fact that it can run off of either gasoline or propane. The advantage of using propane is that it runs quiet and there's no gas fumes. The only issue I had was that it didn't want to run at first. Until I downloaded the quick start manual and read it everything else was history.

Great Features for Price

Love the fact that it is both duel fuel and transfer switch ready. Great features such as digital display. It's obviously not as nearly quiet or fuel economic as an inverter but I bought this as a cheap way to power multiple large household devices. If powering sensitive electronic devices get an inverter or at least a UPS since this thing has a much higher distortion level than those. Overall it starts right up and just works! Best bang for the buck. Pleased with purchase.

This was a life saver!!!

I bought this hoping to never use it, I hadn't for a while then I got a message that in the middle of April the electric company would be doing service and turning off the power for 3 hours!!! This is during the spring thaw, so my sump pump runs every 30 seconds!!! Thankfully I had the generator, and it saved my home and my sanity!! It was absolutely worth every penny!!

Just opened

It appears to be well built and sturdy. It has a strong metal frame. Good wheels. The labeling on the user controls are visible and easy to understand. It also came with its own little tool kit. After a couple of primer pulls it fired right up. I am pleased with this purchase.

Excellent Features, Easy Setup and Use

I bought the generator for emergency use to protect our daughter's home and swimming pool in Dallas. This generator has sufficient capacity to power the pool pump as well as some home circuits including refrigerator, gas furnace, internet, and some lights. It is a dual fuel model, which allows us to set it up for primary use with propane, with the option to go to gasoline if necessary. The information provided is extensive and adequate, and setup was straightforward.

Getting ready for Hurricane Season

We bought this to be prepared for hurricane season in south Alabama. The only thing we noticed was the oil fill plug/dipstick is made of plastic and it was hard to rethread it into the metal oil fill spout. It started with the first pull of the cord!!

Great Capacity& Dual Fuel

Generator has adequate dual circuit selection of 240/120volt 30amp/20 amp with great choice of dual fuel use. Propane choice is exceptional allowing a clean burn, no gunking up, especially with the choices of unleaded fuel supplied today. added wheel assembly and enhancement for easy mobility. Generation functions well under load couldn't be a better buy at the price. Would recommend this purchase for just in case needs during storm outages and portable uses.

Started on first pull

The generator started on propane on the first pull, ran smoothly, and handled my test load easily. I plan to connect it to some of the circuits on my breaker panel and test it again later. When I started assembling the wheels I found that one wheel had the wrong axle diameter. Fortunately, I was able to contact Westinghouse online and submit the info on the problem with a photo and they very quickly sent me a new wheel which solved the problem.

Westinghouse Generator 5300DFv

I purchased the generator in August. Very easy to get get operational; add provided oil, and put in some gasoline. The generator usually starts on the first pull, after engaging the choke. The choke can be disengaged after a few seconds. I have been using the generator for up to 8 hours at one time, in 90 degree heat, with no issues. I am very pleased with the Westinghouse generator and I highly recommend the generator.
