I bought this generator in anticipation of a winter power outage. It is exactly as advertised. It will be practical because it uses both propane and gasoline. And its relatively small size is space efficient. We hope we will never have to use it, but feel secure in having it, just in case.

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.

Easy to use with 5 gallon propane tanks. Have not used with gas and do not plan to because gas is a gross mess. Arrived dented. The oil dipstick is cheap plastic, trying to find a metal dipstick with a magnet. Used the same motor oil I use in my SUVs: 5-30 Ultra Platinum and a few squirts of Hyperlube Zinc Replacement. Bought for backup in case the electricity goes out in the winter I can still run heaters and a stove top burner. The noise would be obnoxious though if running at night.

The only issue with the generator was that during the time I used it it revved up twice (surged). However, after turning the generator off and restarting it, this resolved. Overall, the generator is reliable. It got me through two hurricanes. I highly recommend it!

I bought the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv generator for my 30ft RV camper. I love the Gas/Propane Duel fuel option it has. The generator works perfectly as hoped. Direct 30Amp TT plug, no need for any adapter. Plug it in start it up and roll on. Again, works great. Highly recommend this model.

Bought this unit to supply power in a horse trailer living quarters and as a back up for grid failures. Not the biggest unit but can be handled by wife and dual fuel is a plus. Had some initial regulator issues but techs were great and got the parts ordered ASAP. Quieter than anticipated and fingers crossed for durability.

The 5300 Dual Fuel generator is very user friendly with all controls being very easily identified as to what their function is, and operating instructions are very visible on the generator itself and easy to understand. The wheels are sturdy and of sufficient size to make moving the generator quite easy, and the folding handles allow the generator to occupy less storage space. I chose this generator with a pull-type starter so that I would not have to be concerned about keeping a battery charged on a generator with electric start. I follow the starting instructions and the generator has consistently started on the third pull, even when starting cold. I am pleased with my purchase.

Purchased about 2 months ago & have only used it 1 time, so my review is somewhat limited. Assembly was smooth except one hole for the wheel axle wasn't large enough. Had to drill it out slightly to fit. Runs smooth & am comforted knowing it will run on dual fuel. Like the number of options it has for outlets. I have purchased brand new gas powered items before & knew to add the engine oil before starting it, but felt like the assembly instructions SHOULD HAVE more clearly mentioned this for novice buyers. Also, instead of having to read through all 28 pages of the manual, include a "Quick Start" guide.

This is our first generator. We just bought our house and we live in Louisiana, so after last year's active hurricane season we knew we had to have one. This one is a great price for the system. Its loud but not as loud as some I've heard. It started right up. Ran perfect for the hour. Hopefully we won't need it this year,but I think if we do it will be great.

I bought this a few months ago and when our power went out I was able to get it going and turn on all the necessity items in the house with no problem. For example my refrigerator my stove, and almost all lights in my house. Would be nice if it had a remote start feature.
