Westinghouse 5300 Dual Fuel

Needs better explanation of 120/240V switch... FYI 120V powers the two 120V receptacles and 30V RV receptacle only. The 240V switch powers the L14-30R only. Bracket that holds filter cover broken upon unpacking Time will tell on longevity, just purchased

So far so good

I've just started using this model and I'm loving the electric start and key fob. (I previously had a westinghouse with just a pull start) I use my generator alot because I'm off grid living and it's been amazing! I needed to upgrade to an electric start sense I'm by myself and sometimes it's difficult for me to use the pull start. So far, both generators have not let me down. I suggest purchasing another key fob though sense it only comes with one. Pairing them is pretty simple aswell. And sense I have 2 westinghouse generators, i know I'll always have a reliable backup just incase

Easiest pull start I’ve ever seen!

We’ve used this generator a couple of times now and it runs great. I was most impressed with how easy the pull start is! The very first time we started it, we added the gas and oil and expected it to take a few pulls to get going. Nope! It started on the first pull - easy as pie. Nice to have a generator that I can start by myself.

Excellent Features

Designed in USA, not made in China. After the initial set-up procedures, this generator started easily on the first pull and i ran flawlessly during break-in on both gasoline and propane. Much quieter than I anticipated. This was purchased as a power loss back-up during hurricane season. Hope I never have to use it but now I have peace of mind if there is a power loss. Not that it matters for functionality but this generator is a thing of beauty.

Great Generator for the $

I bought this generator after the Tornado storm in Houston in May 2024 from Sam’s Club. I used it the first time after Hurricane Beryl hit Houston in July 2024. It’s easy to assemble, sturdy and easy to start. I ran a deep freezer, refrigerator and portable dehumidifier with no issues at all. I am glad I bought this product. Now that I know that Westinghouse makes great generators, I will be buying a bigger triffuel electric start Westinghouse Generator so that I can run my home AC when there is a power outage.

Generator 5300

This was bought after knowing we were going to be without power for a few days. I was quite happy with the initial opening and setup (very easy). I got it up and running quickly with no issues. I had to work the following day and had to tell my wife how to stop and restart it and she was quite happy with the ease of it.

Great for 17 hrs…

Bought over the weekend for a small camping trip. Ran it for 17 hrs, not consecutively. It will run for about 30 seconds total now. Didn’t over power it. Tried troubleshooting… everything. Drained the oil and the fuel thinking it was that. It was neither. Do not recommend this product.

A well built generator

I purchased this over a month ago after a big wind storm knocked out the power to our house. Roughly 20 hours without power lead us to Westinghouse generators. It has not disappointed us and if there are any issues, the tech support at Westinghouse goes above and beyond for their customers.

Good generator an excellent price

Ability to run on either propane or gasoline is awesome. Easy to follow the start-up guide. Some of the other instructions are a bit confusing, but just read carefully and be patient. I found this generator to be very reliable and efficient on the use of fuel.

Good all around generator

I purchased this generator for a few reasons. First for home use during blackouts. Second for camping when there is no electric options. I have tested both the gasoline and propane options under loads for both my house (for 5 hrs) and the camper (for 2 hrs) and the generator handles all without issues. for
