So far so good

I cannot provide a full review yet. The unit was damaged in shipping. The air box and choke lever were broken. I contacted Westinghouse and their support team were helping to fix the situation from minute one. I had to send in pics of the damage and the machines info and the replacement parts were being shipped to me. we bought 2 units and the other was just fine. The unit is smaller than other brands of the same and looks to be built very well. I cannot run it at this time so i cannot comment on that. I have watched and read many reviews on this same unit and was sold on this unit because of them. My only negative rating so far would be the packaging could be better. A lot of the reviews that I read also had suffered some kind of damage in shipping.. I believed its a chance worth taking. Service is hands down great, I hope there generator is the same. I will try to provide a full review once the unit is ready.

Well built!

We just purchased this generator for our new RV! After the last snow storm we just had I thought it would be a good idea to have one, just in case! Glad we did! It's very well put together and easy to set up! I was amazed at how quiet it is compared to other generators in the park! I think we made a good purchase! TY!

Westinghouse 5300 Dual Fuel

Needs better explanation of 120/240V switch... FYI 120V powers the two 120V receptacles and 30V RV receptacle only. The 240V switch powers the L14-30R only. Bracket that holds filter cover broken upon unpacking Time will tell on longevity, just purchased

Great for the price.

This generator was better than expected for what I paid. Plenty of power to run what I needed. It was a life saver to keep my refrigerator, and window A/C running when the power went out in 100 degree weather. Not to mention the convenience of being able to use gas or propane to run it. Definitely no regrets with this purchase.

Best purchase made

I purchased the generator in case of emergency and to my surprise, a high winds storm nocked out the power in my area. The house was getting colder and I was afraid the water pipes will freeze. I took the generator out of the box and followed the super easy instructions to assemble the wheels and rubber feet. I was getting ready to fill with oil and start using it when the power was restored and no longer need the generator. I'm glad because I read in the instructions about the break in period for the first hour.

JUST PURCHASED

I just bought this to replace a 20 year old champion have not used yet. Read a lot of reviews and almost all gave a good review so I figured I would give it a try. Cannot recommend yet as I have not used but will use within the next couple days to see how well it works

Great Features

I bought this generator a couple of weeks ago and waiting for electrician to install a manual transfer switch to properly use in case of a prolonged power outage. So this review is prior to my actual usage. However, by profession I am a Director of R&D where I get to oversee design and development of numerous consumer products including portable welding generators. Will add a few preliminary comments: - I like the rolling bars on all sides as they really protect the generator. - the handle is foldable so that's a space-saver. - the engine oil filling spout is oddly placed and westinghouse engineers sure could improve it to avoid any spills. They also need to add an oil level indicator to avoid guessing. My only indication was the size of oil bottle that came with the generator. - Installing the castors is a little pain as have to tilt generator on its side to access the mounting hole. - Mine is a pull start instead of battery start. It started quickly but it is new and I worry when the generator becomes a little older and start requiring multiple pulls. In general, the design and look is very similar to some other on market but Westinghouse is a big name and that swayed my decision to purchase a portable generator rom them.

Quiet

I just received the generator via FedEx. There was a little damage from shipping but only superficial. After filling it with gas, oil and chocking it, the first pull started it and it purred like a kitten. I think it runs quieter than most of the other generators I’ve seen.

Very nice for the price!

After the 5th power outage in our area, and our basement flooding due to our sump pump not working during the power outage, we decided it was time to get a generator for emergency situations. So far, very pleased with this product. It will also come in handy when we are doing work that requires power tools on our horse farm (that has no electricity).

Powering our transfer switch during an outage

Bought this two years ago and using it for the first time during a power outage. It’s been going for 24 hours solid. We have it hooked up to a transfer switch that runs several things in the home, including the refrigerator, the well water pump, master bedroom, lights, and so much more. It has been a powerhouse so far and a lifesaver during a power outage. Highly recommend!
