Excellent for Camping RV Power

I have been keeping an eye out for a dual fuel Generator, have looked at many and found this choice to fill my needs perfectly. I will be going on a long RV trip and expect to boondock several places and the ability to use either propane or petrol is an added plus since I travel with a 100lb propane tank and spare gasoline. I should be all set and will submit additional reviews along the way.

Fuel leak - Good generator for price

I got a chance to use this string a power outage. When I was done with the generator I turned it off and stored it in my garage. I didn’t shut off the fuel line. The next morning I work up to gas all over in my garage. Fuel leaked out of the carburetor and through the filter assembly all night. The rubber parts of the air filter swelled up and probably won’t fit back in the housing. Pretty annoying thing to happen after first use. The machine did fine powering my fridge and freezer. Started up easy. Haven’t run in lpg yet.

Happy with purchase.

Just bought this due to an approaching winter storm. It was the last one at the store. We live in the south so our power lines don’t like ice and snow. The set up was easy to understand and though it took a few pulls to start on propane, it started easily enough. We really appreciate the detailed instructions on maintenance. Should be an easy process to keep maintained.

Generator - Terrific!!

We bought this product several months ago and it has never l Let me down I!!!!! My husband is on the road a lot and I am able to use the pull start on my own...old lady-ish and all!! lol The peace of mind I have now is so reassuring, especially when I'm home alone. We live in an RV and the power goes out quite often, unfortunately. Thank you Westinghouse!! I will be purchasing an upgrade from you!!

Great features!

This is a great item to have especially if you have numerous power outages as we do.My wife and kids got me Westinghouse 5300 for Christmas, and like clockwork , after a big snow Christmas night our power went off. We popped the generator out of the box and had it fired up in less than 15 minutes and it did everything we needed it to do.Love the blue color and the Westinghouse brand has always been a trusted name in our family for decades.

PRETTY QUIET, GREAT POWER

BOUGHT this generator last month (December 2022) for our camper when the power goes out. Had a big snow storm and power was out for over 24 hrs. This powered our camper (41ft Montana) like the power wasn’t out, could barely hear it running while sitting inside. In 24 hrs we burned about 6 gallons of gas. Very easy to set up, started right up after a few pulls to plumb the fuel lines. After that a could start fires up first pull.

My 2nd Westinghouse Generator

Well built. Bought it for the dual fuel capability, gas & propane. After opening box I found no power extension cable like I had with my first Westinghouse Generator? Have not powered up this generator yet. Added oil but waiting for a power extension cable.

Having Some Troubles

Out of the box it was easy to assemble and started up right away. I ran the generator off and on for about 5 hours to break in. Now it will only run for about 30 to 40 minutes and shuts down. It starts again, but cycles up and down and then shuts off again in about 2 to 3 minutes. I have started the process of getting service to see what the problem is.

Dependable

Bought this generator over a year ago and kept it in the box until today in preparation for a possible hurricane. After adding fuel and oil, the generator started up right away. After the break in period, I tested the generator, and everything works great.

Runs my well pump

I bought this yesterday to upgrade from a smaller generator. My house is on a transfer switch and my old generator didn't have enough power to run the well pump, so in an outage we had no water. This runs pretty much the whole house (3 refrigerators, laundry, ground floor and basement) except HVAC (only because HVAC isn't on the transfer switch). Best investment in a while. Definitely more comfortable going into NC storm season.
