Very nice generator

I bought this generator to be ready in case there was another power outage in Texas like the one a couple of years ago. It was easy to get the wheels and get set up. So far we have not had to use it but feel confident it will do the job when we need it.

Lost power for 19 hours

Bought this now I'm ready for the next big storm. Just tried it out seems to be working fine. If you hate wasting money buy one of these generators for your house and have the peace of mind and food that you spent all your hard earned money on. This will pay for it self in a few years. Reasonable price as well

Bought yesterday -- have not used it

Bought yesterday, Weight is good -- I can actually move it around with the handle. Have not plugged it in yet. I am sure it will be great; hopefully, we will not have to use it. At least we won't lose our food. We just had a tornado and why we are purchasing it. We know Westinghouse is a great brand.

Awesome generator

We use the Westinghouse 5300dfv when we boondock at the lake or at a place where there is no power hookups. Works great to charge batteries and run the ac when needed. Also it is a great price point for what it is. It's not quiet but it's also not that loud from 25 feet away.

Really nice generator, perfect size and dual fuel

Purchased generator for backup and tool power. Runs any corded I own with ease, and also serves as home backup for power outages. Really like the dual fuel feature, can store propane almost indefinitely, takes the worry out of having to always have fresh gasoline handy. So far, very to easy start, could be a little quieter. Seems to be a very good value for the price.

Easy to use

I represent One Fellowship United Methodist Church. We were in need of a generator for our outdoor celebrations and festivals and Vacation Bible school. We were worried that it would be a complicated process to assemble and utilize the generator. But the instructions were so clear and easy to understand. We were able to power the outside lighting and (most importantly) the bouncy house for the kids!!! This generator is a great acquisition for our church.

Nice generator

I bought this generator for home use when the electricity goes off. I just needed something for my refrigerators, freezers, plus a tv and fan so this was a good size. I am 75 and was concerned about generators that weigh a lot (plus the weight of gas in the tank) but this one was just right and I can move it around very easy.

The generator saved the day! ..and our basement.

We were without power for what seemed forever. Our sump pump couldn't run and our basement started to take on water. Friends loaned us their Westinghouse generator; it was so quick and easy to prep and power things, that we immediately purchased one of our own.

Not Perfect but Good Enough

Completed the 1 hour breakin and tested under load, works as advertised. Good instructions for startup and operation. Wish they would explain why not to switch between 120/240 while running. I see nothing in the schematic that would hurt anything if there is no load (I'm an engineer). Only problem I have had is I can not get it started when on propane. Even after running on propane it will not restart on propane. Need to use ether starting fluid or switch to gasoline. Perhaps I am too much of a girley man to pull it hard enough. An electric start option would be good.

Easy Setup, Works Great

Easy to follow instruction manual. All tools provided (except for 19mm wrench if you use propane). I bought this to power my RV in case I upgrade to a second A/C unit. Powers everything easily. Starts on first pull with little effort. If you live at high altitude like I do, it requires a high altitude kit which I didn’t know when I bought it but still works without it no problem.
