This is a handy generator to have!

For the price this is a good generator! The 240 volts part is great to have as on rare occasions I need that. Not the loudest or the quietest but about the middle. The dual fuel is a great thing to have! Was able to plumb it to a 40 and 100lbs tank.c9mes in very handy when away from conventional power!

AMAZING

this was a gift for Christmas and I'm absolutely blown away. I've had many generators before, never a dual fuel generator and this is by far the best. very impressed with the quality and way its built as well as the way it functions. could not be happier.

Excellent value

Excellent value. Great instructions. Went together easy (feet and wheels). Includes a screw-in funnel for adding the 10-30 oil (which is included). Started right up on propane. Ran the one-hour burn-in problem free. Will work perfectly in 240 volt mode (120 volts on L-1 and L-2) for our RV. Only negative is that the oil drain is located right over the frame, so to prevent a mess we will need to rig up some kind of "flume" (if you will) to direct used oil to a suitable container.

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.

User friendly

I waited for this generator to come back in stock and I'm glad I did. Put the wheels and feet on, filled with oil, hooked it up to a propane bottle and it fired off on the fourth pull. Ran quieter than I was expecting. Great layout and user friendly. You can't go wrong on this one. Tool kit and oil funnel shows they care about their customers. Warranty was the best I saw. Quality product.

looks like it has a lot of good features.

I bought this generator over a month ago and it went together very easy. Instructions were clear and easy to understand. It had all the features that I would need for a generator and the dual fuel was a plus. I only started it for now, but will be using it a lot this summer and should get many years of service with it, because it appeared to be very well made.

Easy Setup

Bought this and was very pleased to see how easy the setup was. Runs great, haven't had to use it yet other than just testing it out upon arrival. Only complaint I have is the funnel they provided. Makes it hard to get the oil in the reservoir due to its length and shape. Other than that, very pleased so far.

Good so far but...

Everything seems fine, Im running it through a break in period but I couldnt start it right out of the box because I recieved the unit with a caved in cover over the pull start mechanism. The blue grill that houses the pulling assembly was caved in to the point where I couldn't pull the cord at all. I had to remove it and cut it and reform it so it would spin freely. All in all the generator seems like its well built enough and there is attention to detail in its manufacture. I would like for someone from westinghouse to get back to me and send me a replacement cover and pull start assembly though.

SUPER BUY!

I just bought this dual fuel Westinghouse 5300DFv portable generator for an amazing price, considering all it's many features! It also was a breeze to assemble and the manual is easy to understand as well. Fast start, too! Make sure to do a proper break in on this beauty and it will serve you for years to come!
