Started immediately!

I bought this generator primarily for camping. It’s a little noisier than I might like but it’s good trade off for 5000+ watts. It’s well made and easy to set up. I also love the idea of propane. My truck is a diesel and I chose this model because I like the idea of using my propane tanks on the trailer to run the generator. Not a big fan of carrying a bunch of 5 gallon containers of gas and or diesel fuel.

EASY TO USE

This is the first generator I've purchased. I needed it following a hurricane and did not have time to complete a complicated setup/install. I simply followed the clear directions to add the wheels and the generator was ready to go. Everything I needed (except gasoline) was provided. I was impressed that the generator started on one pull - impressive. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

Very pleased with purchase!

Just received my generator. Out of the box and running in minutes. Wheels and pads went on very easily. The funnel for the oil is very convenient. Started after a couple pulls. I haven't had the gen very long, but I think it is going to work out great.

Amazing Product

I brought this a week ago for work that has to be done in my back yard. I had no issues and was able to get the job done successfully. The sound isn’t to loud so I didn’t disturb my neighbors. I’m very proud of the decision I made to purchase this product. Very highly recommended.

Very Little Assembly Ready to Go

The weatherman assured us that ice was not going to be our friend this weekend. We have debated for years about the need for a portable generator and decided it was time to stop flirting with danger (since we have 2 full deep freezers). Out of the box there was very little assembly. We decided to try both fuels. It started right up with our portable propane tank which was very encouraging. Several folks have told us that duel fuel is the way to go. Next we put in just a bit of premium gasoline. Again, it fired right up and we just let it run until it was empty. I don't know what the weekend may bring---but this generator is easy to operate and gives us the confidence we've been lacking in winter readiness! We have no reason to think that this generator is anything but amazing!

I Am Ready

I bought the Westinghouse 5300 dual fuel generator back in March of this year. I bought it because I wanted to be prepared for anything that could cause power disruption or if I needed it on the go. When I opened the box I noticed right away how impressive it looked and it was very easy to set up. I have used it a few times since and it still works perfectly. I am still in awe every time I look at it. Best of all is knowing it is there when I may need it the most especially since it can run off gas or propane.

RV Boondocking!

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!

Nice package

I bought this item recently, but based on initial impressions, and trial runs for both gasoline and propane, I think this generator is well thought out, and easy to operate. It also has a relatively low price compared to other generators with similar features and ratings. The engine starts easily, and the sound level is pretty low for a generator at this wattage rating. Extra features I appreciate include the dedicated breaker reset buttons for each output, the ease of switching between gasoline and propane, and the inclusion of a petcock that allows for easy drainage of the carburetor bowl when storing the unit.
