Haven’t used this yet, but we bought it because we borrowed a Westinghouse 5300 just like it to get us through a power failure, and it worked really well. Ran two fridges, fans, TV & lights and still had power to spare. Easy to start and it ran 9 hours on a 20 lb. tank of propane. I highly recommend this machine.

I bought this generator a month ago after a lot of research and watching YouTube videos. This unit is quality built and I love the duel fuel option. Also, the various receptacles give this generator lots of flexibility from camping to home backup power. I now have peace of mind during a power outage.

I have always held off on getting a generator and finally decided to buy one after a large storm that left me without power for a few days. I am extremely happy with the ease of use and portability of this generator. Seems to be very high quality as well. Would highly recommend.

I bought this almost a year ago and I'm glad I did. It's a great unit. Used it on many camping trips and om many jobs that I had to do with no power. It powered everything I need to complete the work. I also like that I can switch from gas to propane.

I bought this model because of the Dual Fuel capability and plan to use w/propane and have gasoline as a backup. That eliminates any chance of carburetor and fuel line becoming clogged while in storage. In the event of a disaster, gasoline is one of the first necessities that becomes scarce or disappears all together. Also propane is easier and safer to store. I ran it with propane to test and it started on the third pull right out of the box.

Bought this as a home backup generator. Dual fuel is a great option considering during hurricane Sandy gas was not available in our area. Manual even includes part numbers and schematic. Just ran to according to brake in procedures and started up without a problem. Very happy with this purchase.

I bought this a month ago to prepare for the coming bad weather in Lawton ok. I was glad that I have the piece of mind in case electric went out ( blackout) which happen a couple of times. The good things in this generator is it runs in gas and propane.

I really love this generator. We seem to lose power mostly during Winter storms. I trust Westinghouse products. This unit provides a solid 5300 RUNNING watts on gas. I just have to plug in the L14-30 cable, flip the switch to 240V, start the engine and my whole house is powered up. No, we’re not able to run everything in the house all at the same time on 5300 watts, but during a power outage we are able to run almost everything in our house (stove, microwave, water heater, furnace, etc.) to keep our family and our home safe and comfortable. I like the fact we don’t have to trip over extension cords laying everywhere all over the floor, and no longer have to fish those cords through an open window while stuffing towels in trying to keep the cold air out. There’s no electric start, but my unit starts on the first pull. Dual fuel capability, built in cushioned folding transport handle, runtime/voltage/frequency meter for monitoring the electrical output – love these little added features. And it came with the wheel transport kit (something many other companies make you buy separately). I found it to be a dependable portable generator at a super great price. This unit truly makes life a LOT more “normal” when the power goes out!

I received the generator from UPS the outside of the package did not have any out of the ordinary damage. However, when I opened the package up I found that there was damage on the area that you pull the string to start the motor. I contacted customer support and they mailed me a new recoil and guard. I’ll pause to say that the level of support that I received from westing house customer service agent (once they called me back) was fantastic. The agent told me that it was very simple to install. And he told me that there would be directions in the box. Once I received the replacement part (there were no directions. And while it was pretty straight forward to do I know that my wife or mom could not have replaced the part. The replacement part had to be bent a little bit to fit correctly Once complete there generator powered up great. I ran it a while to break it in and hooked it up to the house and it ran all the necessary components. Only time will tell how the generator holds up. This will be used periodically to provide power in case of a power outage … and will also be used occasionally for my travel trailer. Thanks for an easy to use product My reason for the 3 star review is because there was damage but the shipping box was not damaged at all. This tells me that the damaged occurred prior to shipping. The quality department should not have let that go out the door.

We purchased this generator in March and was one of the best things we have done. We live in rural Arkansas and there are always power outages due to weather in winter and summer. On Saturday June 17th we had a small tornado and high winds that took out power lines and trees. We were with out power till Tuesday evening. With the help of the generator we were able to run the freezer and fridge and small appliances. What a great relief and a much necessary item we purchased.
