BACK UP and running!
By Larry W
Texas
Review Posted 01/30/2025
Looked at a lot of generators and for the (PPP) power, price and peace of mind this was the best option. Just enough power for temporary electrical outages, priced low enough to have money for dual fuel choice and peace of mind we won't lose all our refrigerated foods and stay comfortable until the power comes back on. Thanks Westinghouse.

Like This Generator But Disappointed For One Thing
By Alex

Review Posted 01/18/2025
Still working on the break in prosses and getting to know all the features. But disappointed that I can't use the 120 ac outlets while in the 240 volt mode When connected to my transfer switch box

READ THIS New, doesn’t work, awful WH tech support
By Susan C

Purchased 10/23/2024 |
Review Posted 11/15/2024
I read many of the positive reviews for this generator and they were great. Good price, good features, etc. I didn’t read the negative reviews because there weren’t that many. The generator I received from Westinghouse while it looks brand new has probably been sitting on a shelf for years, and therefore doesn’t work. Westinghouse customer support is terrible. They want you to troubleshoot it and do things like add gas to the spark plug chamber, or take it to a service center that’s miles away. My husband is mechanical engineer so I told them what he thought the problem was, which is not fixable on our end. I’m still in the middle of this fiasco so I don’t have a final outcome yet. It irks me that I spent hundreds of dollars for a product that doesn’t work and they won’t just take it back and give me a new one.

5300 What Duel Fuel Generator
By Joseph G.
Georgia
Purchased 10/10/2024 |
Review Posted 11/05/2024
Upgrade after Helene. Easy to assemble, set up and run. I power 10 circuits and on gas it runs everything great, on propane I do have to manage power to run the well pump. But that's "MY" setup. YMMV. All 3 plug types work well. Looks nice and not to loud. Easy to start, easy to move around. I'm happy.

Generator Review
By Billy K

Purchased 10/01/2024 |
Review Posted 10/23/2024
After replacing spark plug engine fired right up! Runs very quiet and puts out plenty of power. I like that it is advertised as the running power versus the startup power. Most show the startup wattage first in bold print and the running wattage second with smaller print.

Review Posted 07/10/2024
I have this generator, and I use it alot. Starts everytime, very fuel efficient. I get 13 hours on a tank easily. Noise is low, and I can depend on this gen to power what I need during a power outage. I highly recommend this generator to anyone looking for a low end cheaper gen that will do the job.
