This is a lifesaver in storm-prone Florida. Power can be knocked out without warning, thunderstorms, hurricanes, or just maintenance issues. Protecting and maintaining refrigerators (2) water pumps and fans- air conditioning is a must in this Florida Heat. Westinghouse products have always delivered results for my family.

Ran generator for 8 hours attached to my house using the RV 240 receptical and wired it into the the compressor fuse box which made my electrical panel hot on both legs. Make sure you turn off the main breaker before doing this. It ran two refrigerators, computers, lights with no trouble.

Already assembled, just had to put on tires and mounting feet. Oil was provided, so put that in with some ethanol-free gas; followed easy instructions, and the generator started right up. We ran it for approximately 10 minutes on gas but have not tried propane yet. Excited to use it as backup power for home next time we need. So far, very pleased.

I bought it today and it fired right up and ran amazing. We were out of power and it made our life way easier. The packaging and stuff that came with it was awesome too. Generators don’t usually come with a little tool bag and kit. We love our generator

After searching for about a month, we finally decided to purchase the 5300DFv. Great decision - being in our 70s, we needed a generator we could manage to move around and to provide us with the power that we needed. The fact that it is dual fuel was a added bonus. Thanks!

Well contructed, easy to assemble had it up in running in less than 10 minutes and it started on 2nd pull. the features of this generator are very informative. I was able to switch from Propane to Gas with no disruption in service. Fantastic generator I would highly recommend purchasing this product.

I actually purchased this generator a little over a month ago. Have not had to use till February the 18th with our recent ice storm taking the power out from limbs acorss the lines. Had previously gased it up with ethanol free gas n the oil came from the factory which is a great bounus. It ran great n wasnt that loud once it was under the awning on the porch. But kept the inside frezzer n refrigator . Plus the TV and 2 lights. I have a secondary line to hook to the well if needed . But had prepared.

I have owned several generators—most of them smaller than this one. Sure they’re lighter, quieter, more portable, BUT, what good is all of that if they don’t have enough power?! This gennie has plenty of power to keep you in business in a storm, power outage or crap-hit-the-fan scenario. The dual fuel is a really nice feature. Run out of gas? Grab the propane tank off the ol’ BBQ and you’re back in business! I’m a fan! I’d trust this heavy duty dude in a bind!

Like the features of dual fuel. Intend on replacing gasoline only unit. This will be used as a household backup. Upon reading the user manual this unit has a 120v/240v switch. Meaning only one output or the other, not both at the same time, and user cannot switch the output while the unit is running. The other feature is the ground/neutral bonding strap inside the generator cover. The strap is in place and should be removed if connecting to a transfer switch for whole house 240v operation. Nice and compact unit, mostly assembled. I still have to hook it up to the propane and run for an hour unloaded to break in the engine.

I purchased this generator for use when my family and friends get together for parties. I have a commercial snow-cone maker, popcorn popper and cotton candy maker so this generator is very convenient. It’s very portable. But what I love most is that it’s has the dual power. I can use regular gasoline or propane. This was one of the reasons I purchased it. So glad I decided on this one and if you’re looking for a great generator, I say don’t hesitate you won’t regret it!
