I have only ran the generator for about 2 hours to get started on the initial break in of the unit however I must say that set up and assembly of the wheels and stand was simple and straightforward. The unit cranked very easily and all the instructions were very clear. I hope that I don't have to use it however I am confident that if it is needed that it while provide more than sufficient power to run our 30' travel trailer with ease.

Although I haven't had any emergencies (yet) I feel secure that I shall have electric power for heat, lights and refrigerators in the event of power grid failures. My one regret is that I should have gotten the 7,000 watts or even the 9,000 watts unit. However, this one seems efficient and economical to run. Oh yeah, it's dual fuel to boot. Great for me in a rural environment.

I just bought the unit this week, but I ran it through set up and engine break-in. I also ran my shop vac off it after break-in and also tried both gas and propane fuels. Very easy to switch between fuels - you don't even have to stop the engine or interrupt the electrical generation.

From my research this generator fit the bill for what I was looking for. I wanted one that ran off of LP as well as gas for the mere reason LP doesn't go bad like gas when sitting for long periods of time. I bought it to use in power outages which doesn't happen often but it does and when on the hunting property working on shooting houses.

This is a great buy. I have used many generators over the years on Job sites, but I am really happy with this one. It is powerful enough to more than supply all my saws and tools, yet it rolls with only one person handling it. I really like the propane option. It has less fumes, it is less expensive to run, and I don't have to worry about draining gas out if I don't use it for a few months.

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

Easy and fast set up. Manual was great with good pictures to set up. The only thing wish the oil fill funnel was about 2 to 3 inches longer to make easier to put oil in. Have not run except for one hour with no load for break in period but cranked up on first pull.

just received generator 5300 dual fuel...trying to break it in now as per instructions.. removed it from box, read directions, added oil & gas..started on 2nd pull ...so far i like what i see...bringing it to my daughter who has no electricty thanks to hurricane IDA...will update later...thanks

Purchased this after we had a storm where we lost electricity for several days and almost lost all our freezer contents. We’ve ran it for non emergency and we’re impressed. Now, we are prepared and feel more secure in knowing that. Very nice features

I purchased this combination fuel gas/propane model primarily for backup during a power outage. I plan to use propane so I don't have to bother with gas, fuel stabilizer, etc. And having an extra propane tank around is handy for the grill too! I also chose this model because I plan to get an interlock installed on my electric panel and connect it right to the panel. I did start it up and let it run for 20 minutes or so on propane. It took several pulls for the initial startup. Note that you do need the choke on regardless of the fuel type :-) Only plugged a few small tools into the 120 receptacles just to try it out so haven't run it under much of a load yet, but it seemed to run fine/evenly.
