Very easy set up and started right away!

Very easy set up started right away! The instructions were very straightforward! I’ve never owned a generator before and just followed the instructions and got everything set up with 1/2 hour. It started right up and I am ready to go to this winter! For you ladies out there who are looking for a generator, this is it you can do it yourself relatively easily...I needed my 16-year-old son to help me tip it over to get the wheels on but everything else I did myself!

Will not run Sensitive

I bought 2 of these (1 for my office and 1 for my house) They worked great on propane and better on Gas. They do have DIRTY power HZ was fluctuating from 58 - 62. Would not run my ups for my computers. Caution the box clearly said they would power computers and TV. There Tech support told me they should not be used for sensitive electronics. They need to FIX the boxes!!!

Efficient generator - Hurricane qualified

Just purchased this generator 4 days prior to Hurricane Ian affecting our state. Despite not having severe hurricane effects in our area, we did have a power outage for 2 days. Happy to say that this unit was able to provide power to the most basic appliances needed during this time, making our days easy to tolerate. Satisfied with the investment, despite the unplanned financial cost.

Westinghouse 5300dfv

We bought this generator today. So far seems to be doing great. So very easily set up and started. The price was unbelievable compared to what we had been seeing for brands ive never even heard of. Im excited to be able to have something I can depend on to be there if we need it.

Wonderful purchase

I bought this generator after a big storm came by and knocked down but I’ll ride at home put it together in about 30 minutes I had the fridges and the TV and lamps running he had no trouble keeping up easy to operate. Best purchase I’ve made in a long time it starts extremely easily not even loud when it’s running.

Love the dual fuel feature!

We purchased this generator ahead of the 2023 hurricane season but did not have to use it right away. However, 2024 brought two hurricanes to us back to back. We are so thankful we had this generator with the dual fuel option. Gas could be hard to find and the propane is so easy to use. It certainly saved our perishable foods , gave us phone charging capabilities and fans running.

Quiet and versatile!

I purchased this unit a few weeks ago as hurricane season is approaching. It was delivered in a timely manner. Instructions and manuals were very easy to read and understand. Everything is included that is needed to run the unit on gas or propane, minus the fuel. Very pleased with the product.

Fuel leak - Good generator for price

I got a chance to use this string a power outage. When I was done with the generator I turned it off and stored it in my garage. I didn’t shut off the fuel line. The next morning I work up to gas all over in my garage. Fuel leaked out of the carburetor and through the filter assembly all night. The rubber parts of the air filter swelled up and probably won’t fit back in the housing. Pretty annoying thing to happen after first use. The machine did fine powering my fridge and freezer. Started up easy. Haven’t run in lpg yet.

Shipping damage

After I took the generator out of the box I found it had been dropped somewhere during the shipping process - see attached photo. The supplied funnel for adding the oil is a poor design. Still ended up with oil leaking out while filling. The generator seems to be working ok but will give it a real workout later.

Does what it's supposed to

I am very pleased with this product. We needed it to ensure that my father's medical equipment was able to operate properly during the Texas winters. It's light enough for my mother to move around and the operating instructions are easily understandable. All in all I know that this helps my family sleep better. They know that we are taken care of and for that I thank you.
