                Great purchase and good to have dual fuel setup
                Love the fact that it’s dual fuel. The propane hookup is quick and easy. Assembly of tires and stabilizers were quick and easy. Came with the tools to assemble. It is louder than I expected but that’s pretty common

                          Bought a 5300 model duel fuel as my first generator. Very impressed with build quality and fit/finish - all around well quality, super simple straight forward assembly out of box and flawless performance!

                            Faulty Start Cord
                            I bought this and I'm having a issue with the pull start cord getting stuck when i try to start my generator. I haven't been able to start or use it due to that issue.

                              Plenty of power for emergency use
                              I bought this particular generator because I wanted to sell my wife’s daughter and her husband came to our house during a power outage a few years back because of a winter storm for a week. I was looking for a comparable generator equal to or more power than my RYOBI 3600/4500. I will also state this that RYOBI generator was a very good piece of equipment and still works very well. This Westinghouse is a lot quieter than the old one and has more capable power, plus I wanted one with at least two different gas types. The tri-fuel generators are a little more expensive. I wanted to be honest with the beginning to say I love this generator plenty of power available. It started quickly and I was able to power 2 portable A/C units I have in my work shed in backyard plus some extra items. Because we did have summer storm with high winds and lost power for a few days and I was not able to do that safely with the old generator. The only issue I have was I would have liked 4 AC-120 plugs instead of 2 but I can manage just as well. I would definitely recommend this generator to folks looking for one. Can’t wait to use this camping as I usually camp at remote areas the don’t have hookups.
