I bought this about 1 month ago, yet haven't tested it out. It was bought as an "insurance policy" after the last power outage we experienced lasted 4 days. I picked this model because of it sufficient power output, battery start, and display meter for monitoring usage hours and generator output. Hopefully I will never have to use it, but hope it will work if I actually need it.

I bought this because I live in Florida.As soon as I opened the box you could tell this a very well made generator.Very compact and a lot better design than the one I used to have.Before I bought this model I reviewed it thoroughly and this Westinghouse generator had rave reviews. More than happy with it.

I have been seriously looking for generators ever since I lost power this summer for 4 days. Never again, and when I saw all of the features on this Westinghouse unit I had to have it. It was very affordable and knowing that this unit can power all of my house power demands puts me at ease. I'm sure that I will especially love the electric start.

We just bought this portable generator and it is our first one ever. We found it easy to operate and understand. It is light enough to carry up the 14 stairs of our beach house for my husband and myself. We feel more secure should we lose power again this winter.

The generator was delivered today. Easy assembly of the wheel/pad kit, added oil and gas, plug in the battery - ready to go. The only negative is that one of the two air filter brackets had a bent hook and a broken latch. It started easily - the battery had a good charge - I tested by powering a refrigerator - no change in the motor speed when the compressor kicked in.

I just received this generator two days ago and today I assembled it, added oil and gas and tested it. It looks well made and ran good. The one disappointment was that one of the locking clips on the air filter assembly #50030057 will not latch. It was like that when I took it out of the box. How did QC miss that ? Cal

Bought it just in time before Hurricane Beryl arrived! Served us very well during the multi-day power outage. Starting it up was very easy. We were able to power up a deep/chest freezer, side-by-side refrigerator, two fans, workstation (laptop, modem/router, two monitors), portable electric cooktop, rice cooker, and device chargers (phones and tablets) all at the same time! And when we disconnected the cooktop and rice cooker, we were even able to use our washing machine! A full tank of gas lasted over 15 hours for us. Only thing that can be improved is the shipping. Should have more protection against damages. This generator is heavy, so people handling it during delivery might not be as careful. Mine came with some dents on the protective metal framing of the generator. Nevertheless, this generator worked great and as advertised!

I am sooo excited about this Westinghouse WGEN5300V generator purchase. I bought a home here in Florida a few years back and fortunately there have been no serious hurricanes (power outages). If and when they come and I am ready! This generator is a perfect size for mobility by a mere female. I hope I never have to use it!

Very little assembly required. I was able to get it running very quickly and I'm very glad to have it available for emergencies. It moves around with the handle very easily and it folds away nicely. Gas gauge is useful but the vibration when running does make it harder to read.

This model has all the features I needed for backup power for my home and power for my RV trailer. Having just going through a hurricane, I wish I would have purchased a tri fuel generator utilizing natural gas for home power and gasoline for RV trailer.
