It took me 10 minutes to install the wheels and "legs" which made it very easy to move. This is not a tiny generator, it is a mid-size and lifting it is really a two person job so the wheels are essential. The generator started up easily and I love the options to connect to a transfer switch, RV or to an ordinary extension cord. The dual fuel option makes this such a great value. It's an item I don't want to have to use, but I'm so happy with I found this gem.

Bought this generator i case of emergency due to the craziness and possible bad weather. Love the portability. Not too hard to move. . Just unboxed it and assembly was very easy. First start was 20 min after I opened the box. The startup was real fast. No dents dings or scratches anywhere as I did read in previous reviews. I would definitely recommend this I like the option of using gas or propane it allows me to have more fuel and I don't have to keep a bunch of gasoline cans. The ability to move it with the fold down handle and wheels make it easy for anyone to handle it

I purchased this unit especially due to its dual fuel capabilities. This unit to my surprise came with propane regulator and hoses ready for use and worked very well. The unit instructions for start up were very helpful and the generator started easily.

After months of research and debate I chose the Westinghouse 5300DVF ... And I am happy I did! The gen is everything i need to insure i can keep all my essentials running in an emergency. The dual fuel feature allows me to keep both gas and propane fuel on hand for use during an outage. I highly recommend this unit.

After thinking about getting a generator for years I finally decided to buy this unit. After putting it together and adding the oil I hooked it up to a propane tank and it started right up. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it was. I was expecting it to be louder. I just bought this unit in case the power goes out at my house for an extended time. Hopefully I will not use it much. At this price point it is worth it.

As for your example, it's more like we bought it, expecting delivery, 04/21/22! the generator arrived today, 04/14/22; just as we are facing extreme bad weather!! So, the generator is giving us "peace of mind"; not knowing what this weather forecast is going to bring us!!

Was looking for a mid-sized generator for emergency power outage situations. This duel fuel generator fit the bill. It seemed to have excellent features including decent power generation and adequate run times. The generator is easy to unpack and assemble out of the box. In less than 20 minutes I had the generator assembled, started and operating. Only ran it for a few minutes to make sure it worked. Based on that first test I give it a 4-star rating. A problem I found in my initial set up is related to adding oil to the engine. The small funnel provided for adding oil to the engine is not long enough to curve upward and has a reservoir that is just too small (see photos). It's almost impossible to add oil without making a mess all over the ground/floor. Also, the plastic threads on the funnel and dipstick/oil plug could be easily stripped so care needs to be taken when screwing them in. It probably is a little loud compared to some generators. Worth the price in mind though.

I bought this generator as a back up in case we lost power. It was easy Bought this generator as a back up in case we lost power. It was easy to us to assemble( not much needed) And easy to operate. We love that it is dual fuel, both gas and propane.

current runs a 100 gallon reef tank, 1000 gallon goldfish pond, 2 fridges, water heater, 9000 btu mini split, a small window unit, water heater and all my lights. And i can also use one other major appliance one at a time. ie dryer oven stove etc. everything but my 5 ton ac unit which would require closer to 16kw. Love the dual fuel option. I can run forever off a 30lb propane tank and not worry bout gunking up the carbeurator for next year. Run gas just when i need the extra 500 watts when trying to cook and clean clothes etc, otherwise propane is great. live in southeast tx with high humidity and hurricanes 2 of which hit near me. power was out for 5 days both times. generator ran solid. Only wish it had electric start for the wife, but its not too bad pull starting. usually within 2 pulls. removed the bonded jumper between ground and neutral like its says too in manual if supplying your breaker box. Meters shows 237 volts most of the time at 57-63 htz. I did not try to run computers or tvs on this one. Thinking of getting a small inverter genny at a later date for those items. Phone chargers and laptop chargers worked just fine though. Sure tvs would of been fine but did not take the chance.

I bought this in a hurry to save our frozen food after Zeta last year. Easy to set up and start. It ran two refrigerators via 12 gauge extensions and didn’t seem to break a sweat! If we get a storm this year I am ready. The price was reasonable and the size is manageable.
