Arrived with broken parts. The air filter housing was damaged preventing it from closing. The frame was dented and had paint chipped off in several places. The shipping box was intact, undamaged, and in good condition. The damage was obviously done outside the container.

We just bought this and haven’t had chance to use it yet. My son assembled it easily enough. I found it to be just as advertised. I hope we don't have to use it too soon, but if we do have a power outage, I have no doubt that it will provide what we expect with the 5300 running watts. I stressed about power outages every time a bad storm was coming, but now will be at east knowing we have the Westinghouse Generator.

We had been looking for a generator since the last storm caused a power outage of 6 days. Checked a number of generators and this had the best features for the cost. After I unboxed, wheel assembly was easy, (and nice to see ball bearing in the wheels!) filled with oil as specified and it started right up! Happy with the product so far

I purchased this generator to run my house when we have frequent power outages due to storm damage in Southern Maine. This is simple to use and very user friendly!! I was impressed with fuel efficiency and how quiet it is compared to other generators I have run. The electric start is convenient and again very simple to use!!

I purchased this for emergency use. After looking at several different brands, models and prices, I decided to buy this one. I am happy that all I needed to assemble the legs and wheels. I find this to be very well constructed. For my trial run I started the generator up (easily), plugged in a 50ft. extension cord, plugged in my table saw and drill press, RAN GREAT! I am pleased. J.W.W.

I bought this unit after a 3day power outage from hurricane Zeta for the next emergency. the unit was easy to set up and cranked on the first pull. Ran it it for about one half hour and it was smooth and relatively quiet. I hope that having it will be insurance against future prolonged outages.

I've been looking for generator for years, read lots of reviews about different brands, then I found this one WGen5300V, the output 5300W is almost enough to power my whole house, and with very good price. Just take one pull to start it, and it works just as I expected.

I purchased the WGen5300CV a week ago. Very easy step by step instructions on how to assemble and prepare for use. Came well packaged with tools required to assemble. Operators instruction manual is very easy to follow with step by step instruction on proper use and start upp.

I purchased the WGEN 5300S based on the Westinghouse reputation and It did not disappoint. I'm thrilled I made this decision for back up power to my house. It arrived as expected and was easy to assemble with the included wheel kit and tools. I read through the manual to learn how to operate it for the first time. Once it was filled with oil and gas I followed the break in instructions by running it with no load for one hour then 30 min under load. It was easy to start using the push button toggle electric start and pull start as a back up. It started easily using both methods and ran flawlessly. I also felt it was much quieter than expected and compared to other brands I seen and heard running.

I purchased this in preparation for an ice storm because of all the great features, the good ratings, the power and the relative ease of moving it (as opposed to getting a true standby generator). It was a breeze to set up. Just working through the break-in period at the moment.
