Dual fuel 5300 Westinghouse

Easy set up out of the box. Started on propane with about 5 pulls after filling with oil and hooking up to bottle. Glad I went with the non electric start model to save the $150. Now after initial run it starts first or second pull every time on LP or gasoline. Seems like a solid unit for the money. Curious to see how it handles heavier power loads but seems to do well with the smaller things I’ve powered with it so far.

Pleased with purchase.

The generator did what I expected it would. I ran two refrigerators, a freezer and tv, lighting, internet along with Water heater. This is not the generator to power your whole house at the same time but it worked for me. This one does not come with cord so you will have to buy one.

Awesome deal on a very good generator!

Awesome buy! I have been wanting a generator for a while. After Helene came through and we were out of power for 5 days, we saw these at Sam's for a very good price. Easy to start and the benefit of dual fuel is a huge plus!

Great Buy

Great deal runs on either gas or propane. Husband tested and it started right away easy to move around. Love the drainage hose to remove any left over gas.

Worked great!

Worked great! This generator helped us get through days of outages from hurricanes Helene and Milton. It worked fantastic right out of the box after some simple assembly. I’m so grateful I purchased this item.

Plenty of power for emergency use

I bought this particular generator because I wanted to sell my wife’s daughter and her husband came to our house during a power outage a few years back because of a winter storm for a week. I was looking for a comparable generator equal to or more power than my RYOBI 3600/4500. I will also state this that RYOBI generator was a very good piece of equipment and still works very well. This Westinghouse is a lot quieter than the old one and has more capable power, plus I wanted one with at least two different gas types. The tri-fuel generators are a little more expensive. I wanted to be honest with the beginning to say I love this generator plenty of power available. It started quickly and I was able to power 2 portable A/C units I have in my work shed in backyard plus some extra items. Because we did have summer storm with high winds and lost power for a few days and I was not able to do that safely with the old generator. The only issue I have was I would have liked 4 AC-120 plugs instead of 2 but I can manage just as well. I would definitely recommend this generator to folks looking for one. Can’t wait to use this camping as I usually camp at remote areas the don’t have hookups.

I had been looking at generators for a while and when I saw the dual fuel that could keep my household going during a storm I bought this one. So happy I did. I feel safer knowing I can power my refrigerator, freezer and much more. I stocked up with lp gas cylinders and gas cans. Now I am ready for a storm or to go on job sites without any access to electricity - I am also in the trades.

Great Generator

This is a great generator with lots of great features. I love the fact that it is dual fuel. My only complaint is the instructions could be written better and in more detail. It took me just a few minutes to figure everything out. I ran it for an hour with no load when I first got it. Within three days our power went out and I easily ran two small freezers with no problems for three hours until the power came back on. I would highly recommend the generator.

Don’t waste your money!

Purchased to provide electricity for our home during the recent hurricanes. Ran for no more than 12 hours and stopped. Can’t return because box was opened! Customer service for Westinghouse is useless. Have to wait 7 - 10 days to have a technician call you back!

To be determined

Nice unit, however, followed the instructions and it does not start. Utilized the propane and no fire. Contacted Westinghouse and they too verified I followed the instructions. Still waiting on a decision as I requested a new unit from them. In theory, really cannot give a solid review then what I provided.
