G5300W Portable Generator, Great Buy and Reliable

I bought this generator this week and love it. The price point compared to other brands was competitve and has a greater running and peak watt rate. Also love that it is dual gas and propane incase you do not have access to one. The wheels and handle make it very eay to roll around to get into a proper position for powering things up. Would buy again!

Leightweight but powerful

I bought this generator a week ago for an emergency power outage and I was able to get it shipped to me directly and quickly. It was easy to assemble and get ready to use. It came with oil and a funnel and some tools for spark plug replacement. I am happy with this purchase as it delivers the power I need to keep my house warm with hot water for showers.

Easy to operate!

I always wanted to own a back up for electrical black outs. After looking around, I discovered Westinghouse portable generator. The model 5300V had all the necessary functions and affordable price as well. This generator has a transfer switch ready for my home backup. It will also run for over 13 hours with one fill up.

Good solid generator with easy setup

Got this for house power if there's a storm that takes down power lines. Seems well-built, and easy to unbox and set up. Battery makes it easy to start. Has lots of flexibility on hookups, whether 110V standards plugs, plugin for 30A RV connection, or a 120/240V to hook into our house system through a lockout panel to provide power to all of our house appliances. Nice and compact, so easy to find a place to store it in the garage when not in use, but easy to pull out into the driveway when needed.

Perfect for Homeowner

A perfect generator for our home use. Plenty of start-up options that enable us to use either a manual or electric start. The size(Watts) handles all of our needs to ensure we stay comfortable during any power outages. It is also mobile enough for me to use while working in and around our barn. I use a lot of power tools and am transforming part of our barn to accommodate my wood shop tools (lathe, table saws etc.) The generator allows me to power them up during this transition time.

WGen5300c initial startup

What a great decision to purchase this generator. As I approach 60 years of age, I'm finding it difficult to pull start my 35 year old generator. After a fair amount of research, I bought this WGen5300c. The electric start was my main consideration. It's slightly more powerful than the old one, it's a smaller overall size and it has some nice added features such as fuel gauge, digital multifunction display and a wheel kit. Even the 220v is a higher amp. Almost looking forward to the next power outage.

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.

My first generator

I recently purchased this generator. After reading the instructions and watching a video , assembly was relatively easy. It started on the second pull . I attached my extension cords and powered up 2 devices. Generator ran flawlessly and was quieter than expected. So glad I bought this Westinghouse generator.

My WGen

I bought this one month ago, happy that I did. However, when I started it, which it did immediately, none of the power outlets provide me with power. I called Westinghouse and they helped me right away. I give this generator five stars even after not getting any power because issues do come up and I was helped immediately.

Needed bigger brother

I originally purchased a WGen3600 but discovered belatedly it could not connect directly to my circuit panel to provide backup house power because the little guy didn't put out 240 volts. My bad for not checking specs more closely when comparing different sizes and makes. So my new purchase is the WGen5300 that does put out 240v. I got another Westinghouse this time, rather than a competitor of comparable size, because I really like the small WGen. Like that one, the larger brother is rugged, easy to set up and operate. I especially like the electric start feature. Now, my power will never go out again.
