I live in California. We know that means poor energy management and certain blackouts. I can't buy gasoline without alcohol in it, and it just doesn't store well. Answer? Westinghouse propane powered generator. This allows me to store fuel for an almost unlimited amount of time. This little powerhouse makes plenty of electricity to power my home, and ffor the first time in a few years, I have peace of mind. Thank you, Westinghouse!

Although I bought it in December of 2022, I really haven't had the need to fire it up yet, but should to have it ready on standby. I relish the fact that it can run on either gasoline or lp gas. A big advantage where I live. My only regret is that I didn't buy a bigger output unit but alas, I have enough to keep the lights, refrigerator, and HVAC going for short term outages. Happy camping.

I needed a dual fuel generator and after doing some research I found the 5300DFv. My use is the rare occasion during storm season. I have an 1,800 square foot house and I like to run most of it during outages. Having the dual fuel option enables me to use propane which means I don't have to deal with gasoline storage. I didn't buy a generator for years because I couldn't get past dealing with the gasoline logistics (I'll probably never need it now that I have it :-)) The initial investment in 20 lb tanks is higher but I'll have them forever and the propane won't go bad like gasoline. Yes I can use gas stabilizer but it will only last so long. Inevitably it will go bad. I suspect it will be easier to exchange or refill the tanks with propane during a hurricane event than waiting on line for gas. Propane exhaust stinks less than gasoline and there's much less risk of fire with propane vs gasoline. That said, if I were to use the generator on a regular basis, I would definitely use the gasoline option as it is a more cost effective fuel and I would use it up as needed. I did the break in process and it's not that loud compared to others I've heard in the neighborhood. Should have enough power to handle my house with periodic running of my central air to keep the humidity in check. Really happy with the purchase.

Arrived with no damage. Powers up what I need it to. I like the choices of plugs they give you. Dual fuel is a good feature. Although it doesn't seem to start on propane. Starts great on gas, then you can switch it over. Not a big deal. Still very happy with it.

An winter ice storm threat and possible power outages made me run out and buy this generator (based on other reviews). I got it home, unboxed it, put on the wheels, poured in the oil and a couple gallons of gas and it fired right up (and I'm 70 years old so if I can handle this generator a younger guy should have no problems). I plugged in a refrigerator and a couple lamps and everything worked fine. I'm ready for the ice storm.

This unit came in a few days late but Lowes has been having issues across the board with their trucks coming in anyways but no big deal! Came in in perfect condition. Got it assembled and ready to start up in maybe 20 minutes. Started right up on the 2nd pull! Very happy with it so far. Did a test run and it will run my tankless water heater(don’t have it hooked up the whole time just when we need to shower), ran both my deep freezer and refrigerator, along with tv/wifi and a nice fan we got from Sams Club. Did the job. Hopefully i wont need it anytime soon but when the time comes where our power goes out again, ill be ready!

I bought my unit back in November but have not had a chance to use it yet. I guess that's not a bad thing though. I did fill with oil and run for an hour and WIFE was surprised how quite it was. I wasn't far from the patio doors probably less than 15 feet and didn't have to change the volume on TV show we were watching. I would definitely recommend this product.

The reason I bought this generator is cause I had read they were very good. I do lots of hunting and our hunting camp needed a generator I liked the fact that It runs on gasoline or propane. I myself have already used it on propane and really liked it. I plan to use it at my house when electricity goes out.

My generator arrived earlier than the expected due date which was a plus for me. it was easy to assemble and maneuver around the garage. love the dimensions as it doesn't take up much space. After adding oil and gas it started on the first pull. very happy with it and it operates great.

I bought this for a huge rally / camping event. I was amazed at the ease of set up to first start. The directions make it easy to understand and literally brakes down maintenance how and when. The best part is at the event our generator was one of the quietest there. It was sitting next to a neighbors and you almost could not tell it was on. The fuel lasted throughout the night running a very large portable air conditioner. Yes I took an air conditioner camping. Movability was easy and over all super amazed with this product. A few of our camping buddies said they were going to get one themselves and one actually did the day after going home. Highly recommend.
