Off to a great start!

I bought this generator to power my RV in case of a power outage like we had here in Texas in February (we were without electricity for 7 days)!. It was easy to unbox and there was very little assembly required. It was well packaged and was undamaged. It took less than an hour to put it together, put some oil in it, hook it up to a propane tank and fire it up. It started on the 2d pull and ran flawlessly. I ran it through the first hour of break-in and checked the the output with a outlet tester and it was working well. I'm looking forward to hooking it to the RV for a test run tomorrow - Thanks!

Great features!

This is a great item to have especially if you have numerous power outages as we do.My wife and kids got me Westinghouse 5300 for Christmas, and like clockwork , after a big snow Christmas night our power went off. We popped the generator out of the box and had it fired up in less than 15 minutes and it did everything we needed it to do.Love the blue color and the Westinghouse brand has always been a trusted name in our family for decades.

Perfect Size and ready to use

First time having a generator. Living in SC it is not often that we lose power due to storms but when we do, primarily due to ice storms, it could be up to 2 days before the snow/ice melts. The generator is compact but the feature I like the most is the ability to use either gas or propane. The unit is compact and very easy to operate. With a peak of 6400 watts, and normal running power of 5300 watts, there is enough power to go around for the essentials in times of need.

I LOVE THIS UNIT!

I received my unit today and immediately opened and used the unit. It was everything it said it was in description. It's NOT very loud and it runs great. The Dual Fuel is one of the BEST features on this unit and everything comes with it to use and set it up. Great Job ( Westinghouse ), you may want to focus on generators and nothing else. lol

Peace of Mind

In 2021, San Antonio had an “abnormal” winter, with as much as 8” of snow. There were serious power outage issues in the area. This generator give me peace of mind for the upcoming winter. The Farmer’s Almanac says this winter will be at least as bad.

This is a generator.

I haven't had an occasion to use it just yet, but it was easy to put together. It came with a cool little funnel thing for putting in the oil. It's nice to know that when the Trump supporters start wrecking more than the capitol, I'll have the ability to keep my insulin cool.

Great so far!

I bought this unit during a recent power outage. This one was the perfect size and offered the dual fuel option, which is critical for my purposes. I have so far put 30 hours on it and it has run flawlessly. I am only using propane at this time, but it was very easy to start and provided adequate power for all the items I needed to run. I got around 10-12 hours on a typical 20lb grill tank.

Couldn’t Ask For Anything Better

Bought as part of my birthday gifts. Quality finish. Quality features. Will run essential appliances to keep my family safe and comfortable next power outage. Due to my schedule, I have not started any break-in, but from the exhaustive research I’ve done and networking with other generator owners, and of course the price of this precision machine, I couldn’t be happier! I look forward to a solid relationship with Westinghouse.

Absolutely AWESOME!

Love this generator! Absolute beast! A must have as a back-up power source, just in-case the worst case scenario happens, even for black outs during the hot summer months, or a bad rain storm knocks out the power for a day or two, which never ever happened yet, living in Brooklyn New York City, but hey you never know! Heard things like someone attacking our infrastructure, this is a must have! It runs great, quite and always have power an extra tool or appliance!

Saved me during a tornado

I bought this after being without power after the recent tornado here in Houston. I am new to generators but needed to save my food and charge things. The setup was quick and simple (stoppers and wheels) and the instructions were clear on how to use it. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE!
