Easy to set up

After much reviewing we choose this one for our family as a back up for emergencies. Very easy to follow the instructions and set it up. Pull starting worked better than we had expected. Hopefully we won't need it often but when we do need it we are prepared. We plan only to use propane but are happy to have gas as an option.

Great Value, Features, and Reviews!

Purchased just a few days ago; needed for remote power on the ranch; tools, welder, etc. Started with just a few pulls; propane, have not fueled with gas yet. Only used so far to power small appliances to fulfill "Break in period" before actually putting into the field. My initial impressions are: Appears well built, nicely organized control panel, minimal/easy assembly, easy start, and of course portable. So, at this point I have no significant complaints; base on other reviews, hoping to keep it that way! With that said, just one very minor gripe. It would be nice if the break in period could be performed at the factory under ideal/controlled conditions so the Gen. Set would be ready right out of the box!

nice unit

Ordered this on a Friday and was delivered on Monday. Setup / assembly was easy, filled with oil and gas and it started on second pull. (haven't run it with propane yet). Unit ran well through the break in procedure. Am confident this unit will power everything needed in my house the next time power goes out, which happens fairly frequently with storms here.

Easy to Move

Bought this last month after a major hurricane swept through our area. Key decision factor was the fact that it was a dual fuel. Gas was incredibly hard to source after the hurricane so having a generator that could run off of propane or gas was a must. Also, it was important that we could power something in our house, or take it on the road to power our camper. I will note that it does not have an electric start and my wife did have some issues getting it started on her own on the inital boot. Otherwise the unit works well! We also love having the fold out handle and oversized tires for easy maneuverability.

Good power and quiet

I'm heading back to my house damaged by Hurricane Ida with no electricity services. This machine powers my UPS and its not switching to battery so the power is clean enough to use it as an inverter and save some money. Much higher quality than Duromax from packaging and the manual to the paint job and outlet covers.

Westinghouse Generator 5300

I finally had an opportunity to use our 5300 for an extended amount of time and I was very pleased with how it stood up. We were using it with a blow up for a grandchild’s birthday party and it did the trick. The other thing that is awesome about this model is that you can use it with gas AND propane.

Fuel leak - Good generator for price

I got a chance to use this string a power outage. When I was done with the generator I turned it off and stored it in my garage. I didn’t shut off the fuel line. The next morning I work up to gas all over in my garage. Fuel leaked out of the carburetor and through the filter assembly all night. The rubber parts of the air filter swelled up and probably won’t fit back in the housing. Pretty annoying thing to happen after first use. The machine did fine powering my fridge and freezer. Started up easy. Haven’t run in lpg yet.

Worth the money

I purchased this generator for the peace of mind when our house loses power. We live in an area with really bad storms and tend to lose power quite frequently, last time a really bad storm hit we lost power for several days and lost was lost due to it. I feel so much better now that I have this generator. It was easy to assemble and the instructions are very well written and easy to follow along.

EXCELLENT GENERATOR FOR A GREAT PRICE

I couldn't be happier with my Westinghouse Generator. I live in Florida so between the hurricanes and electrical storms, our electricity goes off an average of five times a year if not more. This has been a life saver. My Mom is on a feeding tube and oxygen machine so it is important we have electricity to run these. This generator has been there time and again this year. We are very happy with it and recommend it highly to anyone who has doubts.

Fabulous Generator

I recently purchased a Westinghouse dual fuel generator. It performs exceptionally well and I particularly like the fact that I can fuel it using my propane tank vs having to accumulate and store gallons of gasoline. I highly recommend this generator.
