this is a great generator. Wheels and handle make it more portable than my smaller generator. Oil and all the tools were included to get it going for the first use (only needed a 19mm Wrench to tighten the propane. Duel fuel is really helpful especially up here in the frozen North.

I PURCHASED THIS GENERATOR FOR AFTER HURRICANE LAURA, I WAS ABLE TO RUN 2 REFRIGERATOR 2 110 AIR CONDITIONERS, BIG TV AND LIGHTS. I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT AND THE PRICE WAS GREAT ALSO. I RAN IT FOR ALMOST 5 DAYS AND ONLY USED 5 GALONS OF GAS AND 1/2 OF A 100 LB PROPAIN BOTTLE. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS GENERATOR.

Extremely nice unit. Very clean very well put together, and the instruction manual is extraordinary. There's not much that can go wrong that it doesn't show you how to fix. I can't think of anything I would add except maybe a carbon monoxide detector.

We had hurricane Sally then we had hurricane Zeta pass through our area. We did not have power and needed a generator for light keeping our freezer and refrigerator cold. We purchased This Westinghouse 5300 dual fuel generator. We purchased dual fuel because gas was in short supply and figured that if gas was not available we could use our propane tanks we use for grilling. This saved our food in the freezer and refrigerator. The power from this generator also allowed us to use our TV which kept us informed in what was going on in our area.

I purchased this Westinghouse generator over a bunch of other well known name brands as this is my 3rd Westinghouse power product. My 1st was a super silent iGen2800c Inverter Generator with CO Sensor, which I was REALLY impressed with to run my jobsite power tools, and my 2nd was a iGen300s Portable Power Station with 100W solar panel for camping. I was so impressed with Westinghouse quality and price that when I needed to buy a bigger generator to run my office computers and lights after a hurricane, that I naturally went for Westinghouse again. I absolutely love the portability of the WGen5300DFcv, with the added bonus of running either normal gas, or propane on this generator. I like the variety and choice of the various style of power outlets on the generator, as well as the CO2 sensor, for safety. Easy to start, easy to run and so easy to move around and pack away with the wheeled frame. I don't think you can go wrong with this brand.

We did extensive research to decide which generator would be the best fit for us. Please understand we have not had to use the generator as a substitute for power yet. With that in mind, we purchased this for the most bang for our buck and agree with other reviewers to check for damage as ours arrived damaged from shipping…it could be a combination of manufacturer needing to improve the packing (since it’s a known issue) and the shipping companies handling them better. Looking forward to actually seeing how well it does for what it’s made to do!

I purchased this unit recently, It appears this generator is a perfect fit for my needs. I have been looking and comparing generators for the last six months to fulfill my needs. It came with everything needed, all I needed to supply was fuel. The unit started easier than previous units, I have had several in the past 30 years. I am well pleased. It is nice to have a generator made by a company that has been making generators for well over a 100 years. Ray

Purchased during a power outage. Very easy setup, with good quality tools included. Generator started on the first pull, and worked well for the 24 hours our power was out. Good sized fuel tank, giving long run times between fill ups. Being able to use propane as another fuel source is a great feature!

Have not had a power outage yet but have tested it and it worked my fine. My only issue the unit would not start on propane only.... The issue which I found in troubleshooting, not in the starting instructions, states you need to burn off the gas in the fuel line before switching over to propane, this addressed the issue and the generator started up on propane.

Bought this product for loss of power conditions. Glad I have it, small enough to store in my storage and big enough to run my 30A Travel trailer. Haven't had first use yet as I haven't needed it but I may in these next few days. Excited to have it for future camping use where there is no power hook up!
