- If you live in an area like South Texas, where hurricanes and tropical storms are normal, and electricity is lost each and every year during that season, then having a portable generator as a backup power source is a must.
Today we review the Westinghouse 5300 Portable Generator:

The Westinghouse 5300 Portable Generator, like most generators these days, comes with very detailed instructions on how to turn the generator off and on, that are “stuck” to the generator itself making it easy to locate and use.
Aaron used this generator to run his 5000 BTU Window AC unit, deep freezer, kitchen fridge and freezer, desktop computer, TV, cell, internet, fan, and his fish tank filter. The recommended capacity is to run it at 50% and the manual suggests you will get 12 hours of run time on 4.7 gallons of gas. Aaron ran it over 50% capacity, for a week, and still got about 8 hours on a full tank.
He has had his Westinghouse 5300 Portable Generator a little over a year and has used it twice now and it continues to run great and provide the backup power he needs.
Now let’s go out there and get the job done!

If you don’t want to worry about “installation” of an air condition unit, a portable option is a great way to go. They are a bit more, but the flexibility and easy to set up process may be worth it.

H to the Max, thanks for the encouraging words. We love that you get value and fun from our videos. Thanks for watching and commenting!😎
Hi. Thanks for the great video. Hey hope ok ask questions. I want to get the newest version of this one and was wondering, the one you have has if harmed any of your computer type sensitive type electrons or everything was ok? People keep telling me that unless I get an inverter generator that this one will make what they call dirty power where the electric wave can damage stuff that's sensitive, they said the THD was at a range of 25% or less. I don't know anything abt generators so just wanted know if your stuff you powered from generator was all ok and did you run it for a lot of hours with computers and sensitive stuff? I'd sure appreciate if everything turned out ok still. Enjoy your channel and subscribed. Thanks again
Great video guys! Thanks for sharing.
Glad y’all liked it, and thanks for making great portable generators!😎👍
Hey brothers, what all would the unit power at one time?
Aaron owns this one and he has run a small window ac unit, a deep freezer, and 2 full size fridge with no problem, for several days straight. Please let us know if you have any other questions and thanks for watching and commenting!😎👍
Any particular reason you went with Westinghouse Portable Generator vs. some of the other brands?
Aaron chose the Westinghouse Portable Generator because out of all the electric start options at the time, and for the size, 5300, it had the best ratings on Amazon and it fit into his budget that he was looking to spend. Thanks for watching and commenting, if you have any other questions don’t hesitate to ask!😎👍
