runs great, the only reason I didnt give it a 5 star rating is that there was a pin hole leak in the fuel line when I started it the first time. This wasnt hard to fix as the fuel line was long enough to cut the hole out and reattach the hose, but something that quality control should have caught if these are given a test run.

As a female who is not very good at mechanical stuff, I would say this is fairly straightforward and so far so good. Assembly was easy although the model is hard to move until you get the wheels on. Adding oil is easy enough although the place to add the oil is kind of recessed and you will have to be careful to not strip the threads on the plastic funnel. Start up with the electric start was easy. The generator is loud but I believe they all are. I haven't used it yet in an actual power outage but this should have plenty of wattage to handle my frig, a few lights and my microwave. I will probably have to turn off the electric water heater but that 's okay. I do like that the box gives you the approx. wattage for different appliances. We have frequent power outages so I am excited to use this product.

Just recieved our 5300 and love it so far. Easy to service and appreciate the easy identifiable instructions printed ON the generator for an easy start/shutdown. Decently light for a portable mid size and has retractable hauling handle to pull generator around. Built sturdy and good quality. Look forward to using.

This was purchased as a back up power source for our off grid home in Mexico.it not only looks great, its also èasy to start which is very important for my mom and I. We are both senior citizens so simple instructions are very important to us' both.it has plenty of power to run our entire household if necessary.

We bought this generator 2 weeks ago because we lost power where we live. Great generator after using this one for almost 24 hours! Pretty easy to put the feet & 2 wheels on.. Takes probably 5 minutes to install. We used this generator about 2 hours after buying it had to add oil... Which it comes with & will take the entire bottle & gas. After adding all that & reading the book we let is run about 2 hours before adding any plugs or appliances to the generator. The book says to let it run for up to 25 hours before adding appliances but we crossed out fingers & ran it for 2 hours & worked great. No problems at all with this one. First time buyer & this one is worth it.

I have been shopping for a generator for a couple years. Westinghouse was one that appeared frequently in my searches. I did some research and decided to buy one. It is made with such quality features as well as a quality generator overall. The engine and design exceeded my expectations. The price was quit inexpensive for a generator, it is well worth it. I highly recommend it to anyone. It won't disappoint!

Just bought this item so haven't been able to really use it but set up was a breeze, it started on the 1st pull and ran the 1st hour of break in time without a hiccup. Only downfall I see is that you can't use the 240V plug and the 120V plug at the same time but not a huge issue for sure.

Got this in preparation for the coming dark winter, the globalist's great reset, agenda 21, civil war, UN takeover etc.... Should be enough to power some heaters, and even has 220v to get the hot water tank going. It's a great size, packs a lot of punch for something that isn't too difficult to get around.

I feel very prepared for a power outtage thanks to this generator. It is big heavy beast that you can hear from a great distance. The wheels are easy enough to put on and make transportation a one person job. Instructions are easy to follow but seem a bit picky. For the first time run for one hour without a load. The first 5 hours with a varied load of 1/2 or less of the generator's capacity. I did it of course. Comes with everything you need except gas.

Got the 5300s generator. The s is for electric start. Started on the first try. A break in period of one hour is suggested. It runs smooth and not as loud as our previous Generac 5000. One small complaint would be the short funner for adding in oil. I think they should add a couple fo inches to it.
