A good, solid, capable machine.

I haven't had a power outage yet where I needed it, but the generator appears to be very solid and well built. I like the digital display to tell the volts and hertz it is producing and the hours run. It needed some carburetor adjustment when I first got it and they promptly took care of it. Customer service was easy to contact and very helpful.

works great

I've used it for 30 hours so far. Nothing to complaint. Starts instantly, runs stably. Power output is very satisfying. I can use furnace, 2 fridge, microwave and all the lightings simultaneously. Only reason for 4 star instead of 5 is it is hard to get all the gas out of the tank for storage. Normally for all small engines, I let them run until out of gas. But this generator shut down automatically with some gas left in the tank. Took me a while to get all the gas out.

Westinghouse Generator 5300

I finally had an opportunity to use our 5300 for an extended amount of time and I was very pleased with how it stood up. We were using it with a blow up for a grandchild’s birthday party and it did the trick. The other thing that is awesome about this model is that you can use it with gas AND propane.

Saved my groceries!

I originally bought this generator during the winter when a bad storm was expected. As it turned out we didn't lose power with that storm. However, I had the chance to use this generator a few days ago when a bad thunderstorm rolled through and we were without power for 2 days. Assembly was super easy and the generator powered right up. We were able to keep taking hot showers and keep are of our just purchased groceries nice and cold in the fridge and freezer. We are very happy with our purchase and our first experience using it!

Great Generator for the price!

Dual fuel options. Mobile kit with wheels and pull bar included. Oil, screw-in oil filler funnel, a wrench for final assembly, spark plug wrench, everything needed to connect to propane, and a case for the tools - all included! Along with all its other features, what more could you ask for?

Works Great!

We bought this today. Easy and clear directions. We ran it for 4 hours. No issues! Works great with our Coleman Light 22ft. camper. All appliances and air conditioning was on and running. Can’t wait to go camping! It’s dark now. so my pics didn’t turn out good.

Easy to use

I bought this with absolutely no knowledge of anything mechanical. I was able to read through the instructions and put the wheels on very quickly. I was able to get it put together and running within 45 minutes or so, and that's just because I am brand new at it.

Great product offering peace of mind

I received my dual fuel generator and I am so excited to own this for peace of mind for many possible scenarios. This will run my refrigerator and freezer during a power outage and keep my food from spoiling. There are so many uses for this versatile product. I am proud to own it!

So far so good

Nothing was damaged in shipment, all parts were there, took 10 minutes to assemble and set up. I ran for an hour as recommended for break-in. A week later I lost power (first time in years) and ran it for 6 hours. I bought it to run on propane and will only use gasoline in an emergency, this will get used so infrequently I don't want to worry about the carburetor gumming up with gasoline. So far so good we will see how long it holds up, it seems to be fairly well built.

wow

This is exactly what I was needing. This is enough to run 75% of my 2700 SQ FT home during a power outage, run my Camper (Entire Camper) or provide power when I am using one of my secondary garages on my property. My friends and family have already asked how well it runs. It's great. Easy to set up. Takes a bit of time to get it started the first time, but that is to be expected. I hooked up a few items to break it in and let it run for a full 5 hours and changed the oil. This is a gem. Trust me, buy this if you are considering a generator. I will be hooking my camper up to it next (24 Ft camper, with stove, fridge, and lights) and I am sure it will run perfectly.
