Dual fuel, Gasoline and Propane power Max 5300w

I have been Now using this machine for about 2 days and I have put it through various tests using both gasoline on one and then propane as well for another. I love that it came with a switch for 120v and 240v. I usually use it with the 120 V 20 amp four common uses. I also have used this on a welder and I can say I did not disappoint. Just so you know propane has a max output of 4800 running Watts with 5800 Peak Watts. And gasoline has 5300 running watts and 6500 Peak Watts. For anyone who wants to know if you specs. It does come with tripped breakers so don't worry about overdoing the machine. There is also a ground connection screw in case you want to ground something. Coming straight out of the box I had no issues whatsoever getting a machine started. As far as the noise level he was surprisingly a little quieter than then I assumed. I bought this for emergency uses just in case the power went out as well as remote use when I need my welder and have no additional power supply. I can safely say that this machine does not disappoint.

Works well right out of the box

I received it today, set it up, and ran a load test. I use it as a backup power supply at my home. I hooked it to my home electrical panel and it powered 3 freezers, 2 refrigerators, home lighting, and 2 window a/c units. Worked as described. Now I’m ready for hurricane season.

Easy to use

I bought this generator for a backup supply of electricity. With the storms we are having this year 2023. I feel it was a wise thing to be prepared for any events that may occur. The package came earlier than promised. and putting the wheels and legs on the generator was very easy. I filled it with oil and put gas in it and a half a pull on the cord and started right up. If you are looking for a temporary power to your home in a emergency this will work for you.

Dual fuel and useful features

I bought this generator last week during an unexpected power outage caused by freezing weather. I had this up and running within 30 mins . Managed to save all the food in my two deep freezers and my refrigerator. I did not exceed the 50% capacity of the unit as I did not have time to correctly break the unit in. I alternated appliance usage and Generator performed flawlessly for the 12 + hours I had it on . It started easily and was not as loud as my much older generator. It is lighter and much easier to move around . It has convenient 30amp RV hook up so I can use it when I go camping too.

Easy to set up and use

I had this unit up and running within 30 minutes of delivery. packaging was good. Unit build quality seems very good. I used LPG for the 30 minute test run. I also used an L14 cord that splits the power to four separate 110 outlets. Everything worked flawlessly. I will test the unit with gas just to make sure it works. I do not plan on using gas as the primary fuel source as it does not store as well as LP. This unit is for emergency backup of critical items in my home during power outages. The unit ran very smoothly and showed no vibration issues.

Dual power options are great!

We just bought three of these, and I haven't used mine yet. So, I can't speak on the performance of this yet. I will update after I use it. I am excited that I can use either gas or propane. One thing I didn't like though was that the big yellow warning tag that was on the other two generators we purchased was not on this one. That is dangerous to not have the warning tag on here, even though I know not to use it in the house.

Dual fuel is great feature

After experiencing the power outages in Texas in February of 2021 a generator is a necessity to be prepared for future outages. Having the propane feature allows the safe storage of fuel and mitigates the unavailability of gasoline during power outages. This unit is quiet and powerful enough to keep the lights on and the food cold when the power is out.

I Am Ready

I bought the Westinghouse 5300 dual fuel generator back in March of this year. I bought it because I wanted to be prepared for anything that could cause power disruption or if I needed it on the go. When I opened the box I noticed right away how impressive it looked and it was very easy to set up. I have used it a few times since and it still works perfectly. I am still in awe every time I look at it. Best of all is knowing it is there when I may need it the most especially since it can run off gas or propane.

I love the Dual Fuel capability.

I bought this model because of the Dual Fuel capability and plan to use w/propane and have gasoline as a backup. That eliminates any chance of carburetor and fuel line becoming clogged while in storage. In the event of a disaster, gasoline is one of the first necessities that becomes scarce or disappears all together. Also propane is easier and safer to store. I ran it with propane to test and it started on the third pull right out of the box.

We have had to use this at least 3 times since we bought it and it is awesome runs a good amount of time on propane. It works great and is quiet for a generator. Runs 2 refrigerators, kitchen plugs and a large fan. It will probably do more but haven't needed it yet.
