Generator equals peace of mind

We received this generator as a Christmas present from our adult children. We live in mid-central Wisconsin in the country. We needed a backup generator for when the electricity goes out due to a blizzard, thunderstorm, suicidal squirrel, etc. We like this generator as it is easy to handle, easy to set up, will run on gasoline, or it can be connected to our propane gas tank. It gives us great peace of mind to know that the water pipes will not freeze in winter nor will our freezers not run in the summer.

Impressed

I was surprised at how much quieter this was versus my Predator unit. The wheel kit with this unit is great and easy to install. I'm very impressed with the propane efficiency on this unit too. The tank is the right size. Other companies go smaller. My only complaint is that the handle is on the opposite side of the exhaust, but that is a personal preference. The toolkit is a very nice touch. It helps with draining the carb bowl. I'm impressed.

Just what we needed

We bought this generator after the Texas Snow Storm of 2021. We have used it a couple of time for out travel travel. Nifty little thing, quiet and in our opinion worth every penny for what we have used it for. Now just waiting for either the next heat wave or snow storm to put it to the real test :)

Easy to understand

Haven't actually used the generator yet but so far so good. I like the features, ease of understanding, ease of assembly and dual fuel feature. I've tested it out for an upcoming freeze we're due to have in a couple of days and it seems like it's going to work just fine and as expected. I feel like it was reasonably priced for the quality of the machine.

good machine

Power went out the first month I owned the generator. I ran the unit on propane for 2.5 hrs. The unit was attached to the house through a transfer switch. The load included a 240v well pump, 2 gas boilers (hot water, hydronic heat w/circulation pumps), 2 refrigerators, lighting circuit and receptacle circuit. The generator worked well.

Great buy

Opened the box, slapped on the tires, filled it with oil, put some gas in and hooked up the propane. Took a few pulls and it cranked right up. Have put about seven hours on it. 3/4 of the time propane and about 1/4 gas. Runs like a champ! Purchased it for emergencies, after our deep freeze last February. Hopefully , won't need it but, just in case.

Feature packed for the price!

Living in Texas I've experienced 48 days of 100+ degree summers, and 2 consecutive winters with weeks of sub-freezing weather. In 2021 we lost power for 6 days in 8-10 degree cold. I won't face those conditions again without a power source, and this one checks all the boxes! no more freezing days or sweltering nights for my family!

Easy start and runs great!

I had been putting off buying a generator for over a year because I thought they would be hard to start up and difficult to figure out how to hook up equipment. The Westinghouse Gen5300DFV washed all those fears away within the first few minutes. The instructions were easy to follow and starting up with propane was a breeze. I love the option to run on propane or fuel and starting was super easy on both. This will be a great generator for any emergency use!

Easy set up and great instructions

Bought for backup during power failure, did not unpack for 2 months after receiving, came with no packaging issues, assumed all was good. When needed preformed the recommended set up and break in. Worked as expected, quieter than expected and would buy again or highly recommend.

very easy to start.

bought this generator last week Ive used it twice now. easy to start. and seem to run good on half power. love the dual fuel part.. only ran it on gas this time so hopping the propane runs as well as gasoline one small flaw is chock switch seems a bit flimsy hope it holds up but for the price great generator ..
