Needed a generator with 240 volt features along with 20A 120 volt features. During a four day power outage on my farm in Texas it keep my well and freezers running. At night we had electric heat in our bedroom. I have areas on my farm where I have no power at barns, and away from the main house where I have electrical power, a generator like this is a must.

I love that I can use gasoline or propane to fuel my generator. It is also very easy to move around with its handle and never flat tires. I also like the cool look it has. It starts easily and i feel great knowing back up power is always ready for an emergency.

I am ready to meet the next power outage. I like the dual fuel feature as leaving gas in a carburetor makes for work in the long run if you forget to drain the fuel. (be sure to get non ethanol fuel) I finally got around to testing this out. Started and ran great. For testing I plugged in two heaters and ran a circular saw. The generator responded to the saw well. Certainly not enough to max out generator, but around 3000 with propane. I might change to 5w30 synthetic oil as often power outages happen here at -20 deg F-- pull start hard. Long term-- we will see but so far so guide.

The generator functions as it should out of the box. Very easy operation on gas and propane, switching between the two is easy. The only complaint I have is a small one. Some of the paint on the frame was scratched off leaving bare metal behind. This is a minor cosmetic blemish in a non important area though.

This is a great item to have especially if you have numerous power outages as we do.My wife and kids got me Westinghouse 5300 for Christmas, and like clockwork , after a big snow Christmas night our power went off. We popped the generator out of the box and had it fired up in less than 15 minutes and it did everything we needed it to do.Love the blue color and the Westinghouse brand has always been a trusted name in our family for decades.

Gotas my first generator was impressed that it was dual fuel. Tried to start it with propane. Would not start .when you turn the propane off then turn the machine over. It seem like it wanted to start. Turn gas on. Wouldn't start. If it was just run on propane alone I would give it five stars

I tried to break-in the motor on propane but it wouldn't start so I just broke it in with Gas. I called customer service about this issue and they were prompt in getting on the issue. I haven't tried running the propane since breaking it in with gas but I know the warranty will fix it regardless so I'm not worried about it.

I have looked a a large number of generator brands with many different configurations. The two most important features were duel fuel and a AC/CA 120/240V 30A outlet. This generator has both of those features along with many others. The price was well in the range of our budget. It was clear that this generator was the perfect fit to provide emergency power to our small rural are condo. We will eventually have the wiring installed so we will be able to provide power anywhere in the condo as needed. I'm ready to give a shake down.

The only reason I am giving it 4 stars at this point is that we haven't actually had to use it yet. While we hope weather conditions never require that we use it we are so thankful to have found a generator built by a company with a wonderful reputation for quality. The Westinghouse brand came highly recommended and we can rest assured that should we have a power outage, we will have adequate backup power to maintain our water and other necessities. Thank you!

First tried it out today. I was concerned about its ability to handle the starting current for my 1.5HP well pump (240V). The generator "grunted" a bit but started the pump just fine. No problem at all with the running draw. A clamp on ammeter had the running current at just over 10A and the very short starting draw looked to be over 40A.
