I bought it when my area was threatened with a hurricane. Chose to be ready. Although storm shifted I was ready. This thing is heavy. Was easy to install tires and the attached handle made it easy to move. Oil filler spout could have been longer. I attempted to start the generator on propane at first. It started, sputtered and backfired several times. I then put gasoline and the generator started right up. After it was warm, I switched back over to propane and it worked fine. Don’t know why it didn’t initially start with propane.

I just bought this unit today as a backup to my Duromax 10,000. This Westinghouse unit was well packaged, easy to remove from carton, and the instructions are very well written and thorough. Got it running in no time flat. All the controls worked exactly as promised. The price was more than equitable as well. I am quite happy with this purchase and glad i made it! At least, i am til the wife gets home... haha! 😆 A worthwhile and valid purchase! J

We recently had a planned outage in my area due to changing of poles and I am currently working from home due to Covid and I used this two days for 4-8 hours and it worked perfectly. I was able to use my tv, my internet, and a lamp. I am looking forward to seeing how much juice it really has when we have to use it for longer!!

Worked great and easy to start up. Be aware that it is not a quiet or low noise generator. You can hear it inside the house. Not an issue for me but be aware if it is for you. The value is good, and it is made in Vietnam. This was the selling point for me.

So glad I got this generator. After hurricane Beryl went through Katy Tx, We were without power for 5 days. Our local shell station ran out of gas, so i used my 2 propane tanks which powered my house for a day and a half until we got to fill up our gas tanks!.

Just bought and it took several pulls to get it started. After running it for a while every time l tried to turn choke down it started running rough. I hope this will remedy itself after break in time.Just tried generator and it works fine but still runs rough when I turn choke off.

I already own a 2200 inverter (IGEN) that I have used for camping. I bought this one for the house. It has a enough juice to run most things- just not all at once. I wanted to get an even larger one but the weight of generators in general made lifting a 220 pound generator into a pickup a non starter. So the weight of this is manageable.

Purchased a 5300DF generator after much research. Delivered on time with no visible damage, very clean. Appreciate the added oil, tools, tires, funnel and propane hookup. Filled with gas and starts up, used propane and works also. Have not had the opportunity to plug anything into it at this time so gave it 3 stars.

I purchased this generator just over a month ago and have used it several times. I needed a way to power my RV while boondocking in southern California. While running, this generator will charge my batteries, power the A/C unit, heat my water, run my fridge and power my 120v devices at the same time using the 30A plug. I run it on a 20lb propane tank before switching over to the gas tank. The generator will run for most of the day on 20lb of propane and slightly longer on the 4.7gal tank of gasoline. The generator certainly isn't quiet, but it is essential for powering my devices when I don't have an electrical hookup. It was also reasonably affordable compared to similarly sized models by other brands. One feature I would have liked was an electronic starter so that my battery inverter could automatically start the generator when my battery level falls below a certain threshold, but for the tradeoff in cost, I can handle turning it on and off manually. It only takes 2-3 pulls of the cord to start on both propane and gasoline, with a large knob to easily switch between the two. I run the generator in the bed of my truck making sure to put it in the center to give it as much clearance as possible. It does put out a lot of heat, but doesn't appear to harm my truck bed. It would probably be better to run the generator on the ground, but it's a little too heavy for me to be lifting in and out of the truck bed when I need to use it. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase.

I bought this generator for emergencies and enjoy the ease in starting and love that it is dual fuel can use gas for home use and propane for camping needs . Also love that it comes with wheels and handle to easily move . The only issue i have its that it is heavy to load in truck but it is a big generator so its not works great and easily starts and am very happy that i purchased this generator . it is my first generator and i am very happy.
