Got this generator because it was on sale and on tax free weekend in Texas with hurricane season approaching. Great price and the fact I can run it on gas or propane was the clincher. Plus it will hook into my whole house system if power fails in a storm

Just unpacked the gen and set it up. No issues there, very straight forward instructions. The generator started right away. I purchased this for emergencies and I hope I don't need to use for that purposes only. I do have other uses for it. The oil fill method could be improved, it already has an attachment but it could be a little longer to be able to use it in a 90 degree angle. Another thing that needs improvement is the packaging, there are dents in the tubular frame but it is not affecting performance, all other components look fine.

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.

I bought this last year in case of power outages. I am so glad i did. It was affordable, lightweight and easy to use. My power went out last night and within an hour of opening up the box we had it up and running to serve my refgrigerator, lights, fans, etc.

Living in an all electric house (furnace, hot water heater, fireplace) this was a necessity when the power went out and we were experiencing below zero weather. Ran three space heaters, the fridge and a tv. Could have handled more, but my extension cords couldn’t. Emergency purchase, good product.

I bought this generator in case of a power outage in preparation of a winter storm. The dual fuel feature was something I required due to the flexibility of fuel source. The included oil and screw-in oil funnel along with the wrench pack made initial assembly out of the box quite easy. I chose to operate the generator with propane and it started within 3-4 pulls. I have only ran the generator for the initial break in period of one hour but during that time everything seemed to work properly and the sound level of the generator wasn’t too loud and very much tolerable while inside my home.

I bought this for the hurricane season to be ready just in case a storm knocks power out. The fact that it gives you multiple fuel options really helps in case you run out of one fuel. With the amount of wattage, you can power multiple high wattage items. As for noise, it's a generator. The only way to get a semi quiet one is to get the smaller lower wattage ones. I hope to never need it for a worst case scenario but it's good to be ready.

i bought this generator to supply power for my house essentials in case of a power outage i tryed it and am amazed how easy is to turn on how it operates and that it can power more than just the essentials am really happy with my purchase. "will definitely recomend"

First generator ever purchased. After much research decided to go for dual fuel model with basic features, reasonable price and good overall reviews versus more power and more convenience features like electric start, key fobs, etc. Unit was delivered a week earlier than expected, easy to set up, and started up on the propane tank just fine. Instruction manual suggested an hour engine break in with no load...no problem... then plugged in a leaf blower to test the built in plug receptacles. It all worked fine. Next test is to get a transfer switch installed and then hook up generator to the home to test out how it will handle a greater load and perform for longer periods of time and perform on gas.

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.
