Bought this generator in preparation for emergency situations at my house. Lost power within weeks of getting it. Filled it with oil, hooked up my 100lb propane tank, filled it with gas and started right up. Powers everything necessary in my house, and love that I can run it on gas and propane, runs for a long time. Fairly quiet as well. I’ve already recommended this model to 3 family and friends.

Just unboxed our new 5300DFv and am pleased so far. It was packaged well and included tools for mounting the rubber feet as well as a funnel for easy filling of the oil, very nice. Only reason for 4stars for me is I think it should include some sort of grounding wire. A grounding rod would be nice but that is asking a bit much. A grounding wire is a realistic and necessary request or expectation. Maybe I will come back and update after I run it a bit.

We bought this during an ice storm when we lost power for a few days. We were surprised that this was in stock at the time and snatched one up. We immediately brought it home and set it up in no time at all. We were able to plug in our two refrigerators, a freezer, portable heater, electric blanket, some lamps, etc. Worked perfectly! We ran ours with propane, although gas can be used with an easy switch. We will look into hooking it up to our main breaker for future use. Highly recommend!!

Just bought this generator and took it out of the box. Don’t everything you need is included! Don’t forget to add the oil before starting. Once started, it cranked up on the first try and ran no problem. Going to use as a backup power generator. Glad I bought this brand!!!

Outstanding product, delivered on time in perfect condition. Excellent size, price and reviews made this the generator for me. Perfect so far, easy to set up and use, no complaints. This is an outstanding generator with all the features I need plus some extras. I am very very happy with this generator!

Bought the unit a week ago. It’s still in the break in period, so I can’t keep my expectations too high. Unfortunately, it’s been a bit difficult to start while using propane. I followed the instruction manual to a T. It’s required many, many pull starts to fire up. I haven’t tried gas yet, and have intention to do so soon. Once going, it powers everything I need it to, primarily the deep freezer if my power goes out. This thing is a powerhouse! Max wattage on my large deep freezer is only about 1:10th of the max wattage of the generator. I’ve got plenty of room to use on other appliances if needed. I never want our power to go out, but I know this Westinghouse generator will power our critical items during such times.

I haven't used our generator yet but have confidence that it will work great when we need it. We bought it for a great price to have on hand incase our electricity goes out. We don't want to use it yet but we have all the parts necessary to do so. It helps me sleep a little bit easier at night knowing we have this stashed away and are better prepared.

I got this for two reasons, to run tools and to run my camper about a month ago. When I first started it up it took me only 2 pulls. That has been the case every time since when cold. When warm it is only ever one pull. It is louder than my quiet generator, but still much quieter than most other generators that compare in size. Operation is very simple and I love the ability to change from 120-240. Instructions were great as well. When I put this generator under load it hardly even seems to bog down at all. It has run for 11 hours and I can't wait to keep using it. It is too heavy to load by yourself, but that's to be expected.

After reviewing several generators, we chose this one because of the durability of the brand and customer reviews. We started it and it ran fine and it was not as loud as some of the others. Since then we have used it several times and it has not failed us yet. We plan to use it for years to come.

We lost power during one of the many 2020 hurricanes to hit Louisiana. We were told the power would be out 3-4 days so we bought the generator for our refrigerator and freezer. It worked great but we only needed it 3-4 hours. Our power came back on much earlier than expected. Had I known I would have waited.
