I bought this to replace a generator that I have had for many years that finally stopped working. Since I could no longer get the parts to repair it I looked for another. I selected this one because of the reviews and the price. It was more compact, runs quieter, has more capacity and the output voltage was much more stable than the old one.

I bought this Gen 5300 a week ago. I already own a Gen 3600 I bought 2 years ago. Best and most dependable I ever had. Both of these generators always start the first pull of the recoil. The price of both was reasonable and competitive. I would recommend Westinghouse gens to any one. I love that Westinghouse pretexts their hens

Just finished my 1 hour break in period. Alternator cover was bent in slightly, I straightened it back out with no difficulty. I liked that break in was only 1 hour. Will change oil at 25 hours per manual. Nice that it came with oil and funnel. Started right up. Everything good so far.

We bought this to power the house. Living in the woods we do lose power and need to work from home and keep the fridge and freezer running. This generator was easy to use and quiet enough to run without all the noise. With the wheels we are able to move around without a second person. We are buying another for a family member.

Purchased this generator to replace an older unit. Was extremely easy and quick to unpack and set up, had it up and running in less than 30 minutes. Instructions are easy to understand and the battery start makes it easy to start for a senior citizen. A great addition to our hurricane kit.

Due to all of our storms in the area recently, I thought it would be good to upgrade my generator. Thank goodness I haven't had to use this yet, however it appears to be very user friendly, especially with the process to start the generator on the unit itself.

I PURCHASED THIS GENERATOR A WEEK AGO AND IT WAS RIGHT ON TIME. WE HAD A RAIN & WINDSTORM EARLIER THIS EVENING & OUR POWER WENT OUT AT HOME. I WAS ABLE TO USE THE GENERATOR FOR BASIC NECESSITIES (LIGHTS, FRIDGE, HEATER, & CELL PHONES) & THIS GENERTOR PERFORMED GREAT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR EMERGENCY OR RECREATIONAL USE.

I bought this after reading many generator reviews. Westinghouse was highly rated and I see why. It has a lot of features and is well designed and put together very well. I picked this size for a balance between fuel economy and power. I appreciate its mobility and reasonable weight (135 pounds). And the auto start is a great feature for us older folks.

I bought this 7/2/2025, arrived 7/8/2025 after 3 day shipper delay. I unpacked, added wheels and footpads, put in oil, connected battery plug. Ready to go in about 20 minutes. Just need to get fuel and should be good to go. It took longer to register product than assembly! Now, if it works as good as it looks... BTW, bought this because of the 240v outlet for my 50amp RV. Standard 120v was not much less $, and others didn't have electric start or wheels. No brainer.

The construction and welding of the frame seem solid. But for the first time I put fuel in. Gasoline leaked at the fuel valve. It turned out that there was a crack on fuel hose. Instead of of returning to the store, I replaced the hose. Afterward, generator started up on the first pull. Everything seems to run fine, but so far, I ran the generator for only 1 hour with no load for breaking in.
