We bought two generators last month after losing power from a series of tornadoes. The dual fuel made it easy to hook up our existing propane tanks. They are easy to start for my wife. Without the generators our sump pump would not have ran and our basement would have flooded. We were able to keep the fridge, freezer and some lights going too without any problem.

My wife and I bought this Westinghouse dual gas portable generator so that as we travel towing our RV and decide to stay at a RV park, we don't have to depend on a full hookup site to park our RV. Now we can reserve a site with either a full hookup or not. The generator was very easy to unpack and there was very little to do to power it up. It started the first time after using the choke and we tested both the gasoline and propane uses. We experienced no problems at all. Can't wait to try it out if full hookups are not available! We now are really Happy Campers!

I bought this generator last week during an unexpected power outage caused by freezing weather. I had this up and running within 30 mins . Managed to save all the food in my two deep freezers and my refrigerator. I did not exceed the 50% capacity of the unit as I did not have time to correctly break the unit in. I alternated appliance usage and Generator performed flawlessly for the 12 + hours I had it on . It started easily and was not as loud as my much older generator. It is lighter and much easier to move around . It has convenient 30amp RV hook up so I can use it when I go camping too.

Everything seems fine, Im running it through a break in period but I couldnt start it right out of the box because I recieved the unit with a caved in cover over the pull start mechanism. The blue grill that houses the pulling assembly was caved in to the point where I couldn't pull the cord at all. I had to remove it and cut it and reform it so it would spin freely. All in all the generator seems like its well built enough and there is attention to detail in its manufacture. I would like for someone from westinghouse to get back to me and send me a replacement cover and pull start assembly though.

I just bought this unit today as a backup to my Duromax 10,000. This Westinghouse unit was well packaged, easy to remove from carton, and the instructions are very well written and thorough. Got it running in no time flat. All the controls worked exactly as promised. The price was more than equitable as well. I am quite happy with this purchase and glad i made it! At least, i am til the wife gets home... haha! 😆 A worthwhile and valid purchase! J

Just a few simple assembly items and an easy start from the get go. Solidly built with very good fit and finish. Really like the dual fuel capabilities. Will adequately power my travel trailer for remote camping and also plan to use it as a stand-by for power outages at home.

I did get it started, but after about 5 minutes it just shut off. Started it again and after a few minutes it shut off again. I live in high altitude so I purchased the recommended high altitude kit and hopefully it will run better after installing the kit.

Overall the experience was great getting started. The box was a little beat up in shipping but the rugged frame seemed to protect the generator really well. Adding the feat and wheels to it was easier than I expected given the weight, but the compact size made it easy to manipulate. The controls and hardware are intuitive and the manual's documentation was helpful. The only feedback I have is to improve the documentation to make it very clear that only the L14-30 receptacle works when in 240V mode and the TT-30R and 5-20R receptacles only work in 120V mode. This is clear if you study the schematic in the manual or just try it out. Now that I know it's intuitive to why this was done, but it wasn't obvious to me when I was getting started.

Bought this generator recently so haven't had a chance to put it into practical use during an outage yet. Setup and assembly was easy, motor cranked easily with just a couple of pulls on both gasoline and propane fuel settings. Plugged light into generator to test power production. Ran generator for approximately 2 hours with no problems. Seems to work well and is easy to operate.

I had been putting off buying a generator for over a year because I thought they would be hard to start up and difficult to figure out how to hook up equipment. The Westinghouse Gen5300DFV washed all those fears away within the first few minutes. The instructions were easy to follow and starting up with propane was a breeze. I love the option to run on propane or fuel and starting was super easy on both. This will be a great generator for any emergency use!
