Have not used it yet. Now that I have it the power probably won't go out again. This was purchased after an extended power outage but the power had come back on. You can use gas or propane, which is nice. It seems simple to use. Unfortunately though, the pull cord is not easy for a small female or small teen (with adult supervision) to get started. If I ever use it I'll re review. I'd still recommend it at this point though.

The only issue with the generator was that during the time I used it it revved up twice (surged). However, after turning the generator off and restarting it, this resolved. Overall, the generator is reliable. It got me through two hurricanes. I highly recommend it!

Bought the Gen and had it shipped. arrived and box was in pretty bad shape but Gen was fine. WH has modified the packaging to minimize damage from shipping. unpacked and assembled wheels. Added oil and fuel and started on 2nd pull. followed break-in recommendations. Ran the unit the next day to power equipment and ran without an issue, Ran unit again the next day on LPG and no issues.

I just bought my WGen5300. So far everything has been very easy to use & self explanatory (but definitely read the directions). The wheels & legs were super easy to attach. My friend has one & it’s worked great for him. I like the ability to switch from propane to gas. I will be using natural gas.

I recently purchased this generator and it is just big enough to connect to my house with a L14-30 connection, and should run most of my house in an emergency. Dual fuel really helps as it is safer to store Propane but also provides flexibility to use either fuel. Insurance for storm outages.

I just bought this unit today as a backup to my Duromax 10,000. This Westinghouse unit was well packaged, easy to remove from carton, and the instructions are very well written and thorough. Got it running in no time flat. All the controls worked exactly as promised. The price was more than equitable as well. I am quite happy with this purchase and glad i made it! At least, i am til the wife gets home... haha! 😆 A worthwhile and valid purchase! J

I bought the Westinghouse 5300 series generator on the day before hurricane francine , the assembly was quick and easy even during the middle of a hurricane it was easy to startup and maintain especially with the dual function I have no issues Recommend 10/10

I bought this to use for my camper since it has dual fuel and i can use the same LP for it and my camper starts first pull and isnt that loud. i havent used it for my camper yet but did have to use it to run most of my house when the power was out worked great and one tank of gas lasted all night and into the morning

I just purchased this generator today. Was simple to assemble, Connected to propane tank after adding oil per the instructions. Started on the 2nd pull. Tested a couple of 120v electrical items. Working good. Was a bit louder than I thought it would be, but I guess that's expected with a generator. Looking forward to many years of operation.

Purchases dual fuel unit to replace an older generator. When putting the unit together, the wheels went on very easily. The two feet however had issues with the bolt that was welded onto the frame being misaligned with the holes on the feet. I wound up using a smaller bolt that would fit through without threading on one of the bolts. The second issue I came across was starting the unit for the first time using propane. I followed the detailed setup information but The unit would not start and the data center display would not illuminate. Hey call to support resolved botilluminateery quickly. The unit runs very well and will power virtually my entire house and appliances.
