I bought the generator a day ago and looking at all the reviews on this particular generator I really like what I’ve seen. I don’t have too much time with this generator but it’s gonna run my trailer RV very well. It’s got all the power I need for my RV, love it

Started immediately!

I bought this generator primarily for camping. It’s a little noisier than I might like but it’s good trade off for 5000+ watts. It’s well made and easy to set up. I also love the idea of propane. My truck is a diesel and I chose this model because I like the idea of using my propane tanks on the trailer to run the generator. Not a big fan of carrying a bunch of 5 gallon containers of gas and or diesel fuel.

Love This Generator

We bought this in January, with New England winters upon us, we have lost power too many times, my wife who is the queen of research looked and looked, and found that this Westinghouse was the best bang for the buck, I love it, easy to use and love the dual gas feature, that is a big help, we absolutely recommend this generator, you will love it, we do.

Great generator

Used our Westinghouse 5300 for the first time after we lost power with hurricane Beryl. We opted to use the propane since we had several full tanks. Easy setup and startup. Very satisfied. It ran like a champ and powered our freezer and a couple fans in the house with no issues at all. One can of propane lasted about 10 hours.

As advertised

Bought a month ago and it works fine. Have not tried running it on propane yet. Reason I didn’t give a five star rating was because the way the oil drainage system is designed. 1 it is very difficult to drain with out getting oil on it and you must tip it to the side to drain all the oil out. The funnel needs to be several inches longer in order keep from becoming a mess while adding the oil. I’m my opinion they should have provided a box end wrench rather than the open end style to make removal of the over tightened drain plug. So other than that it’s serving it’s purpose well so far.

Very Little Assembly Ready to Go

The weatherman assured us that ice was not going to be our friend this weekend. We have debated for years about the need for a portable generator and decided it was time to stop flirting with danger (since we have 2 full deep freezers). Out of the box there was very little assembly. We decided to try both fuels. It started right up with our portable propane tank which was very encouraging. Several folks have told us that duel fuel is the way to go. Next we put in just a bit of premium gasoline. Again, it fired right up and we just let it run until it was empty. I don't know what the weekend may bring---but this generator is easy to operate and gives us the confidence we've been lacking in winter readiness! We have no reason to think that this generator is anything but amazing!

Great product - been working like a champ

Good machine and I'm happy with how it performs. Keeps two fans and a 5000k window unit running. Only used propane and was happy with the results. One issue that is somewhat irritating is cleaning the spark arrestor. The grill is too tight for a screwdriver to fit in the slot easily.

love the dual fuel feature

I bought this after going through an extended period of time without power which led to throwing out the contents of my refrigerator. if was easy to assemble the feet and legs. it ran well for the limited amount to time I tried it out using propane. I hope I won't need to use it very often but I'm glad I have it just in case. I was reasonably priced for the features.

Happy Customer

I bought this back before winter for dual purposes, first to have in case of a power outage and also to power our camper if we went to a site that didn't offer power. So far I have not used it much, just pulled out to run our camper a few times to run gas through the generator. I do like having the dual fuel (gas/propane) option because I typically have propane bottles sitting around full without the worry of gas going bad through the winter. Overall I think this generator is good for the money I spent to get it.

Smaller than expected

The only bad thing i have found so far is both of the blue covers (alternator and pull cord) definitely get beat up during packaging. the box looked perfect but both have some dents and paint chipping. other than that it's smaller than i expected and meets all of my requirements. if i have issues i'll update my review, but the setup was easy.
