Have not used it yet. Now that I have it the power probably won't go out again. This was purchased after an extended power outage but the power had come back on. You can use gas or propane, which is nice. It seems simple to use. Unfortunately though, the pull cord is not easy for a small female or small teen (with adult supervision) to get started. If I ever use it I'll re review. I'd still recommend it at this point though.

With all the hurricanes and uncertainty going on, I decided to buy a generator for personal use in case of a power outage. Wow! This generator has everything you need to power various electronics and appliances through an emergency. If you are in the market for a generator then look no further than the Westinghouse WGen5300DFV.

I tried to test the generator using propane, but it would not start. It tried, but backfired and would never start. I had my tank refilled, but I still had the same issue, so I switched to gasoline. I got a backfire again, but then it started. It did not run as smooth as I expected, but I did not have any load on it. Not sure if this is normal or not.

I live way up North so occasionally we loose power. I friend at work mentioned this type and I am so glad I went with it. Its perfect and easy to handle. I plan on putting it in a small shed out side for storage. Big plus with the RV hook up. Also with being dual fuel I plan on putting in a tee for our big propane take outside. Will never have to worry about going outside to check the fuel during a blizzard or thunderstorm.

Power was out and looked for a power generator that was on SCE’s list for a rebate. Thankfully the Westinghouse WGen5300DFv was on the list and in stock at a nearby Sam’s Club. Bought it and used it with propane gas to power up both our fridges and saved our food from spoiling.

Very Excited about this product in case of any longer than expected power outages due to storms in the area at times. Also the fact that its dual fuel insures we can adequately prepare ourselves more with multiple types of fuel in advance! Excited to begin using it as necessary!

We were without power for almost 2 weeks and this generator helped us save food in our refrigerator and freezer. We love the fact that it is dual fuel and we do not have to use ethanol gas in it. We were able to power it with clean burning propane and not gum up the interior components with ethanol gas.

After having two freezing winters where we lost power, I bought this generator. I love that it has two fuel sources. It generates enough power to operate all the necessary appliances and items for us to survive the outages. I plan to get it hooked up to the main breaker box for the house to be more beneficial to us.

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 have not gotten a chance to use this generator extensively yet, but I am mostly pleased thus far. For the price, I am very happy with the features and design. I would have given this 5 stars right off the bat, but unfortunately the fuel switch was leaking when I first got it. This is most likely a fluke, but it is hard to leave a full 5 stars after that disappointing start. If I can change the rating after a couple more flawless uses, I think it deserves it.
