Just what I was looking for. Just the right combination of power, features and noise level. 1/2 as loud as the next model up. For every 3 dB increase in noise level it is twice as loud! By running on propane you don't have to worry about draining fuel etc. Propane doesn't go stale like gas. If you were using it all the time Gas would be preferable but for random power outages propane is the best. Started with 1 or 2 pulls each time I have started it.

This is a nice and compact generator, and it does not take up much room in my garage. The generator is well-built, 5300 running watts is perfect for my needs. The reason we purchased this generator is because we lost power for 5 days due to Hurricane Milton.

For the price point, this is a really good purchase. Prior to purchase, I researched all of the generator models, watched a ton of YouTube video reviews, and found this model to be the best bang for the buck. There are a bunch of reviews of poor packaging with damaged parts upon arrival and mine arrived to my porch delivered, by Fedex, on it's side and I feared the worst. I drug it in my garage, opened the box and to my amazement, not a single scratch on my new power source (see pic). The unit is much quieter than I thought it would be and started on the first pull. I live at 7034' and I strongly recommend purchasing the high altitude kit when going much above 3000'. You need to reduce the amount of fuel going into the carburetor so as to arrive at the proper fuel/air ratio. A lot of generator owners skip this step. One cannot cheat this this lower oxygen level condition at higher elevation and the upgrade is critical to preventing the spark plug from fouling and for maximum efficiency. So far so good, Dave M.

We use the Westinghouse 5300dfv when we boondock at the lake or at a place where there is no power hookups. Works great to charge batteries and run the ac when needed. Also it is a great price point for what it is. It's not quiet but it's also not that loud from 25 feet away.

I purchased this for use during rolling blackouts that occur frequently during hurricane season. It is easy to move around with the included handle and wheels. I like the dual fuel capability since you can switch right over to propane if you run out of gas or there isn't any readily available. All of my appliances are natural gas so it has enough power to run everything but the central air, so I just use a portable ac for extended outages. Enough power to get the job done without being massive and a gas hog.

Love all the options with this Generator. Multiple plug types and optional fuel is great for our camper. We don't dry camp often but power was an issue one time when we almost ran out of gas. We left a day early to prevent this and having this unit could have got us enough time. One feature I wish these or any other generator had is a tube that routes draining the oil as it is always a mess. No matter how you try to prevent it, oil just seems to get on something and makes a mess but placement of the drain or a tube that routes to an open space would definitely help and be a big feature for someone to make the purchase.

Very happy with generator, when I looking to purchase a generator this one had a high rating now I understand why. The easy start quiet running is a seller, the duel fuel is plus for me. Being 63, Westinghouse and electric went together growing up. This is why I tried this generator, now I'm glad I did.

Purchased this generator due to multiple power outages. Unit was easy to setup and had this unit running in about 30 minutes. I chose the gasoline options, but this unit provides for both gasoline and propane. Sufficient power to run multiple units including freezer, refrigerator and most importantly my CPAP unit. Very pleased with this purchase.

Runs well, love the dual fuel capability, easy to get going. Will be a great emergency generator and won't have to store a can of gas or gas in it. Also great customer service. Got a wrong pin size with a wheel. Talked to a good customer service representative that seems to either work for them handles a lot of their calls. Part order confirmation was in my in box within 2 hours. Also another huge plus was finding a detailed parts break down with part numbers for any future needs in the manual.

We bought this generator on January 12, 2022, as we were getting ready for an ice storm to hit our area. The setup for this machine was easy and it fired right up with no problems at all. So far I'm loving our new generator. I would recommend this product to others!
