I bought this a couple years ago right after we had monthly (or more) power outages through a hot summer. Well, Murphy’s Law, once we bought it we never had a long outage that required a generator since. Today, we got to try out the generator because we lost power for hours! Lifesaver!! We kept our food cold so it didn’t spoil with the 90° heat in Michigan and were able to run fans to keep the already AC cooled house from getting too hot. Easy to set up and use!

I bought it 2 weeks ago to replace my old gas generator because I wanted to run on propane. I live at 7000' so I needed to order the high altitude kit. I installed it Saturday and broke in the generator. Sunday afternoon, the power was out. I fired it up and ran the cords. My next step is to install a transfer switch so I don't have to string cords through the house.

We had a power outage for 8hours. 8hours! The operation instructions were straightforward and made a stressful situation manageable. Westinghouse made it easy to get started by including everything in the box. We only needed the fuel source and voila. We had power. We didn’t run a full load; we powered the modem for internet and about four electronic devices. The generator performed efficiently and powerfully for hours on end. It’s portable so it was easy to place exactly where we needed to run the power cord. Thanks W for making our inconvenience, “comfortable” with your outstanding performance 5300/4800 generator. We’re confident this portable

I bought this product to prepare us for the upcoming hurricane season, to test it we powered it up and plugged in quite a few appliances and it was able to provide electricity to a lot more than we originally believed. It is a perfect size to store away while not in use.

We suffered a 14 hour outage last Sunday, which resulted in us losing everything in our refrigerator. I immediately ordered this generator the following day. We received the item 2 days later and within 48 hrs suffered another outage. The generator fired up in three pulls after following the start guide sticker on the fuel tank. It ran strong powering my refrigerator, sump pump, a table lamp, 2 laptops, and several phone chargers. I'm not sure why I never purchased a generator before, but glad I chose this one.

Excellent value. Great instructions. Went together easy (feet and wheels). Includes a screw-in funnel for adding the 10-30 oil (which is included). Started right up on propane. Ran the one-hour burn-in problem free. Will work perfectly in 240 volt mode (120 volts on L-1 and L-2) for our RV. Only negative is that the oil drain is located right over the frame, so to prevent a mess we will need to rig up some kind of "flume" (if you will) to direct used oil to a suitable container.

Like the features of dual fuel. Intend on replacing gasoline only unit. This will be used as a household backup. Upon reading the user manual this unit has a 120v/240v switch. Meaning only one output or the other, not both at the same time, and user cannot switch the output while the unit is running. The other feature is the ground/neutral bonding strap inside the generator cover. The strap is in place and should be removed if connecting to a transfer switch for whole house 240v operation. Nice and compact unit, mostly assembled. I still have to hook it up to the propane and run for an hour unloaded to break in the engine.

We ordered our generator on the 23rd of June this year and received it on the 28th. On July 5th it was called into service; We hadn't even put the oil in it! But we got it set up, got the extension cords out, and it worked like a champ for the full 4 hours that we needed it. We have a 5300, which is adequate for my wife and I to keep the fridge, TV, wi-fi router, and a few lamps going. If we need it in the morning, we can get the coffee maker plugged in as well.

I bought this to handle the load that I have with a fridge, upright freezer, medical needs, and to drive my electrical addiction because of my job. It was easy to get going and get my devices all hooked up! I’m glad I pulled the trigger to get this one.

Just purchased the 5300DFcv Dual fuel generator. It is very easy to setup. Comparing with another inverter generator that I have, this generator has all controls at easy access locations, It is easy to fill/remove the engine oil. Also it is very easy to drain the gas when put generator in long term storage. One of the reason that I purchased this item is that it can use BOTH gas and propane tank. It provides some redundancy. To use the generator for a short time, propane tank is very easy to hook up, and disconnect after use. You do not need to worry about draining the fuel when using gas. Using gas provide more power and is more suitable for power outage for an extended time.
