I bought this generator less than a month ago and was very pleased with the purchase. The 4800 Watt on propane has fulfilled my needs perfectly in my RV. My only complaints are that the manual says that 240 V us available at the 4 prong twist lock only but when I tried it I had the 120V standard connector to my RV plugged in and 240 V was sent thru that connector too! This blew out various motors in my RV (evaporative water pump, fan, microwave) as well as the inverter I had hooked to my solar battery. The statement in the manual is incorrect and was very costly to me.

I just bought this generator and did the break-in procedure, which I found on YouTube. So far it's been good. A draw back is where the oil change port is located. Being located above part of the frame makes an oil change a very messy job. Beyond that, it was easy to start up from cold.

I spent several weeks researching portable generators from different manufactures and for the price and the features I chose the Westinghouse WGEN5300, it has all the features I was looking for like the twin fuel options, and it was easy to put together and easy to move around.

I needed a dual fuel generator and after doing some research I found the 5300DFv. My use is the rare occasion during storm season. I have an 1,800 square foot house and I like to run most of it during outages. Having the dual fuel option enables me to use propane which means I don't have to deal with gasoline storage. I didn't buy a generator for years because I couldn't get past dealing with the gasoline logistics (I'll probably never need it now that I have it :-)) The initial investment in 20 lb tanks is higher but I'll have them forever and the propane won't go bad like gasoline. Yes I can use gas stabilizer but it will only last so long. Inevitably it will go bad. I suspect it will be easier to exchange or refill the tanks with propane during a hurricane event than waiting on line for gas. Propane exhaust stinks less than gasoline and there's much less risk of fire with propane vs gasoline. That said, if I were to use the generator on a regular basis, I would definitely use the gasoline option as it is a more cost effective fuel and I would use it up as needed. I did the break in process and it's not that loud compared to others I've heard in the neighborhood. Should have enough power to handle my house with periodic running of my central air to keep the humidity in check. Really happy with the purchase.

Received the generator today and easy to set up. Bolt on 2 wheels and lower guards, add oil that is provided and filled up with fuel. One pull and it started right up. Had it running in the back yard and ran some equipment from it with no issues. Sound is not too loud. Purchased this in case electricity goes out at home so hopefully will not need to use it. Great to have as insurance and saving food in our fridge/freezer. Glad we decided to purchase

I bought this generator as a main piece of my hurricane kit, and it has proven to be very useful. Obviously it does an excellent job for running power tools/pressure washers in the garage but it also worked great in power outages for running a refrigerator and a small ac unit. Overall I couldnt be happier with this unit.

We bought this generator in case we went through another winter where we lose power for an extended time. We busted it open an hour into no power and in about 30min we had heat again! Easy to assemble and then use. Cranked up after three strokes. Highly recommend.

I bought this generator to supply power to my water well while I waited for the power company to provide power to my property. I used it several times a week to run the well pump (240 volts, not sure of wattage) for up to an hour or 2 at a time. It was flawless in the middle of the coldest time of the year. Very easy starting on gasoline. I did not have a need or opportunity to try the propane option. The generator was also used to power some power tools as I had a shed built and performed without a hitch. And gas "mileage" was great too!

We bought this generator to help in case of power outages during storms, and as a backup power source for our RV. It was really simple to put into operation, and started right up in both gas and propane. The included toolkit kept me from digging through my toolbox, and it even includes a funnel to help pour the oil. Literally everything you need to start except the actual fuel. Haven’t used on our RV yet, but tested it on our household power items (heater, fridge, etc…) and it works great. Not as quiet as an inverter generator, but no louder than a lawnmower.

I bought this to power my travel trailer and really enjoy the ability to use propane and gasoline. The generator isn’t too quiet, but we use it for the air conditioning which pretty much covers it up. It is heavy and takes two people to unload. Overall, impressed with it so far.
