Westinghouse has a good reputation. I love that this can be powered with either gasoline or propane and it has a remote start. I tested it and it powers everything that I will need in an emergency.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Model for Home Backup & Emergencies
on April 1, 2021
Posted by: Oklahoma Outback
from Cross Timbers, OK
After the Oklahoma "Icenado" of Oct 2020 when we were w/o power for 4 days I determined to NEVER to BE a VICTIM & caught w/ my pants down. Thru heavy research I found the 5300DF (dual fuel) model the best match for our needs for a modest home w/ 5 people. It would be best for a large RV too. Westinghouse has the best ratio of Price Point, Power Output, best warranty, 1000s of 4+ star reviews & FREE delivery. Ordered it 1/12/21 & it was delivered 1/18/21. The setup is very easy. The nearest town is a 30min drive, so we're "out here". The Propane fuel option is really what sold me b/c it NEVER goes bad & you can hook the Generator to your home Propane tank by teeing off. I saw lots of people filling 5gal gas tanks to run generators at local stations. That ONLY works when the pumps have power. The Propane option is a no-brainer & is easier on my wife & daughters, esp. if you're using small 2gal tanks or a 100gal. The other PLUS is the REMOTE START FOB. You can turn it on from inside the safety of your home. It also has the push button start. I'm going to either install a transfer switch or install a breaker box interlock kit to run the generator directly into our house for emergency backup. We had neighbors w/o power & water for 10+ days in Oct. Family & friends in Texas were worse off during the Feb 2021 snow storm. The FACT that MOST of Texas was w/o power & H20 for 4-10 days is everyone's WAKE UP call that you're On your own. OYO. For my "off-grid" solar friends who were w/o power b/c of cloud cover & snow, the 5300DF will provide a better layer of confidence. You must be prepared cause we're in the Twilight Zone from now on. 2020 & 2021 was a trial-run.

I purchased in January 2022, followed recommendations for breaking in. Used twice and blew up on me spraying oil out the OHV cover. Really disappointed! This isn’t right!

Great piece of equipment

Researched several generators and decided the Westinghouse WGen5300DF would meet our most of our needs, except wish it had parallel ports to add an additional unit. Box was damaged when we picked it up from retailer, and unfortunately, the air filter case was damaged. We will be calling the manufacturer and hope the service will be good.

Used it twice and it does NOT WORK

Bought the generator the end of June. Upon the first use we had a problem with the carbon monoxide shut off out in an open field. On the second use in September it ran fine for two days shut it down to refuel and when I went to restart there was absolutely no power. Battery registered full charge but the generator would not start at all not even the manual start. We were reliant upon it in freezing temperatures for our heat source so had to cut our trip short. Would not recommend this item. Very disappointed in this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
