The generator started on propane on the first pull, ran smoothly, and handled my test load easily. I plan to connect it to some of the circuits on my breaker panel and test it again later. When I started assembling the wheels I found that one wheel had the wrong axle diameter. Fortunately, I was able to contact Westinghouse online and submit the info on the problem with a photo and they very quickly sent me a new wheel which solved the problem.

I am a 30 year old woman and decided I wanted to be more prepared in case of an emergency. My dad helped me unbox and start this for the first time. I was nervous, but after doing it all once I feel comfortable enough with it now. I feel like I could get it started on my own when the time comes. It started up easily and quickly as expected. Instructions were clear and it came with the oil it requires. It also provided a maintenance schedule which I though was helpful. It's heavy, but the wheels help with that. No complaints so far.

Just bought this unit for those unexpected outages due to storms in the spring. Set it up and had it running in less than 20 minutes. Started on the 1st pull. Plugged in some tools to make sure it worked and it didn’t phase it. Ran like a champ.

Bought this generator recently so haven't had a chance to put it into practical use during an outage yet. Setup and assembly was easy, motor cranked easily with just a couple of pulls on both gasoline and propane fuel settings. Plugged light into generator to test power production. Ran generator for approximately 2 hours with no problems. Seems to work well and is easy to operate.

Had to replace a 12 year old generator and did my research. This model fit my needs and a great value! Dual fuel capability at a gas only price. Easy set up…wheels, legs, oil, gas, three pulls and up and running!! Loaded it up and ran very smoothly with multiple loads. A great decision !

The Westinghouse 5300 dual fuel is what I wanted. It was priced very reasonably for all of the features that it has. The directions were very good. It was very easy to assemble. I put the oil in the engine and install the propane line that was supplied. Hooked the 20 lb propane bottle to the line. Turned to fuel selector to propane and flipped the on/off switch to on. Opened the propane tank valve. Put the choke on start and the generator started on the 2nd pull of the engine pull start cord.

We expect this generator to serve our purposes well and chose it because of its fuel capabilities and good online reviews. Ours, however, did arrive with shipping damage; there is virtually nothing to protect the generator during shipment other than its own cage. Westinghouse did promptly mail out replacement parts, and our generator is in working order now. We think it will be powerful enough to provide occasional emergency power at our home and are now generally pleased with our purchase, as there seem to be a lot of features for the price.

I like how compact this unit is and still has room for maintenance of the unit, pretty easy to do all necessary maintenance. Easy start up on both Gas and Propane,2 easy pulls. So far this unit seems solid, doing the recommended break in. My buddy's liked the unit as well, Would recommend.

I finally had an opportunity to use our 5300 for an extended amount of time and I was very pleased with how it stood up. We were using it with a blow up for a grandchild’s birthday party and it did the trick. The other thing that is awesome about this model is that you can use it with gas AND propane.

The reason I bought this generator is cause I had read they were very good. I do lots of hunting and our hunting camp needed a generator I liked the fact that It runs on gasoline or propane. I myself have already used it on propane and really liked it. I plan to use it at my house when electricity goes out.
