Reliable Power When The Utility Company Fails

After years of inconvenient storm related power outages I got fed up and had to get a generator. My 5300 Watts Westinghouse generator was delivered in perfect condition, very easy to setup and get started. I later installed a manual transfer switch for the generator which provides power directly to my most critical circuits. The complete installation was very easy and now I am prepared for the inevitable power outages. So far I am extremely satisfied with my generator and recommend it 100%.

WGen5300SC perfect

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!!

Excellent unit

I bought this a couple of day age, took home, read thru user manual, unboxed unit, attached wheels and vibration feet, filled with oil, put in gas and it cranked it up on third pull. In all it took about 30 minutes from unboxing to cranking it up. Great unit, not too loud. Next day let it run for about an hour to break in engine per instructions. Haven't attached any power cords yet. Will do at a later date.

Easy of Use

We bought this to help us thru the many power outages we experience due to living in a fire area. We haven't needed it yet, as it arrived after our power was restored. However, we did try it out to make sure it works. It will be great when we have our next outage!

Quiet and light weight

I just purchased this generator for home backup protection. I live near Houston and we have hurricanes and flooding issues. Went through the setup process and it started on first try. I noticed two thing right away. It was quieter and lighter than expected for a unit with this power rating. After running it for an hour, I hooked up several items and it seem to handle them with ease. Only item in question was the fuel gauge. It did not register any change at all. At this point I am assuming it did not register because I only put a half a gallon of gas in the tank for testing purposes. Next time I'll fill the tank up completely and increase the load. I'll update this post should I have any additional observations at that time.I am pleased with what I have seen so far.

Same idle issue others are having

Not off to a good start, everything was fine until I started the generator, started first pull but after turning off the choke it runs erratic. RPM’s go up and down all through break in period of an hour. Called support, said they will call me back lets see how this goes. Will update when I here back their solution.

Great little powerhouse

I bought this generator to use with our camper. It was easy to set up and is lighter and much quitter than our other generator. The electric start is quick and powerful. The generator fires right up without any hesitation. It puts out the same power as the generator I use at home during power outages so I know it will power everything I need it to when the power goes out.

Nice generator

We bought this generator as we thought it was time. Living on the coast we should of gotten one sooner. It comes with the wheels as well, a good plus as we are getting older:) After researching and reading about these, we chose this one. Medium priced, and perfect for what we need.

WGen5300. At first glance excellent product.

Received generator in a timely matter. Unpack and all parts and manuals were there. Installed wheels and feet per installations. Filled generator with oil and gas per instructions. Connected battery, choked and try to start. Would not not start with electric starter. Assume battery was dead. Used pull cord and started on first pull. Will read instructions on charging battery. One thing I noticed, draining oil could be a little messy. Need to add an extension tube to oil drain plug/hole. It seem to be made very well and should last a while with maintenance. Great product.
