Bought it 3 months ago. Tried starting it and was very impressed by how easily it started. Assuming it was good to go in all aspects, we never tried plugging anything into it until we took it to its 1st job. At that point, it was just a huge disappointment. Spent an hour trying to get it to produce power. Finally called the company, only to find out that we had to take our brand new generator to a service center to get it to work properly. Westinghouse dependability sucks to say the least.

My generator arrived at my door four days after I ordered it. Very impressive! The wheel kit and rubber feet were easy to install (took about 10 minutes). Filled with the included oil and some gasoline and gave it a test. Started right up. Electric push button start is wonderful and one of the reasons I bought this machine. Runs quieter than my older generator. Obviously, I haven't used it during a power outage, but I did test the outlets and it is ready to go. So far, I am very happy with my purchase.

Have had it for just one week. Everything seems to work as it should. It has all of the features that I think are important. Duel fuel, electric start, CO and low oil shutoff and, hopefully, enough power for my needs. I did not buy a larger unit because I wanted one that would be fuel thrifty and still have enough power to run critical units in my home.

I bought this unit because my wife was on a home oxygen machine 24 hrs a day. I was concerned that a power outage could be fatal for her. We did in fact have two power outages, and I was able to use the generator to power not only the oxygen machine, but for limited lighting, etc., as well. I was very pleased with all aspects of the unit ( i.e. - ease of assembly, ease of operation and over-all performance}).

Some box damage but OK when opened .mostly ready to go install wheels no tools ,stands 4 bolts 10m nuts in frame one wrench add oil with funnel sent with GEN : ] .connected battery and LP tank one wrench ¾ :] .power on push smart switch, spines once then twice and running . 30 min. brake in then electric power saw. Clearing limbs and trees driveway and yard from ZETA WINDS and RAINS: YES I’M happy runs very quit and smooth no gas fumes nice handle and wheels light easy to move. The revues were spot on good job GE thanks.

I just rercieved this and look forward to using it. I have a 100 gallon propane tank ordered so we don't have to mess with gas in a hot generator. I also have a electrician coming to install a transfer switch. Didn't receive the remote FOB in package

Day late and a dollar short.. lost power for nearly a week over Easter and knew THEN we needed a generator. The 5300 dual fuel fit the price point and the watts. Now we are prepared for the next outage, which will NOT come because we bought the generaltor.LOL

The generator arrived quickly in great shape practically ready to use. Every thing I needed to get it up and running came with it (except gas of course) It came with the oil and a handy funnel that screwed on the oil filler hole which made for an easy no mess job of adding the oil. It also came with the propane regulator valve if you choose to use propane as your fuel source. I'm going to keep gas and propane on hand. The wheels and feet were an easy installation with the handy wrench included. I also liked the fact that I didn't have to bolt on the cables to the battery like some I've purchased before. The positive and negative cables had a push connect that made for a fast and simple installation. The instructions are easy to follow. After getting it setup and adding fuel it cranked right up using the included remote fob. it ran a little rough for about a minute but after that she ran smooth as silk. It should be great for what I'll need it for. I just need to keep a freeze, refrigerator, a few lights and a TV going during a power outage.

CAUTION: Follow the directions! I'm not kidding. Get the manual out and follow the directions. The generator, once everything is followed, started immediately. I would recommend it to anyone. Bought this to power up my well and it does a fantastic job.

I shopped around for quite a while and prices do vary with retailers. Regardless, no other generator could touch the features of the wGen with the dual fuel and remote start. I’m using it for a whole house partial cutover box. Be careful if ordering a separate wheel kit, that you order the correct one, and print out assembly instructions for the wheel kit before it arrives.
