I bought this a few days ago, it should have been ready to go out of the box. However this one Had some damage, the cage around the recoil cord was pushed in preventing pull start, and the spring for the choke lever was damage. I called the support number on a Saturday, and the guy I talked to, not only started my warranty claim, but help me with a temp fix so I could use the generator that day.

This generator is built with quality in mind! You can tell Westinghouse is a quality dependable brand. I love the dual fuel feature and starting this up was a breeze. It’s Al’s really nice that oil and a funnel with threads at the end are provided too, very cool!

Just bought today in anticipation of wintery weather. Based on research, this looks like the best product for us. Hoping we don't HAVE to use it but in the event we do, we are looking forward to using the features of this product. The price was also great.

We bought the Generator for any emergency. We were able to put it together in less than 20 minutes and get it ready to start. The starting took a little time, the engine does not start right away like I am used to with other portable devices; however, once it started it run flawlessly. I run the break-in process and so far it has been very dependable.

I bought this unit 4 days ago.haven't been able to use it the did run it for and hour to break it in .machine quiet .not sure when I will run it with an load .well do a reveiw again then . but down south its hurricane season no I'm sure I'll get you running pretty soon.

After opening my package everything looked and felt good. I got everything install, and was ready to fire up my generator. But, it didn't happen. My recoil handle went limp, and I couldn't generate enough power to fire up my generator. I am highly disappointed with my product.

Ran generator for 8 hours attached to my house using the RV 240 receptical and wired it into the the compressor fuse box which made my electrical panel hot on both legs. Make sure you turn off the main breaker before doing this. It ran two refrigerators, computers, lights with no trouble.

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.

I bought this about two months ago and I’m so happy that I did, because when the power went out due to the winter storm in North Texas today, I have been able to have power when others haven’t. My house is nice and toasty, thanks to this amazing generator! I’m even hosting people without power! Having heat and charged cell phones saves lives! But this can power so much more than just a few heaters and cell phones! It can run the dryer if we needed it to! Good job Westinghouse!

Used our Westinghouse 5300 for the first time after we lost power with hurricane Beryl. We opted to use the propane since we had several full tanks. Easy setup and startup. Very satisfied. It ran like a champ and powered our freezer and a couple fans in the house with no issues at all. One can of propane lasted about 10 hours.
