We purchased this to replace a Generac 10,000 Watt unit that was just too big and heavy. This Westinghouse generator is compact, easy to maneuver, and has more than enough power. It was easy to assemble and started up on the first push of the starter button after we added oil and gas. Very happy with our purchase!

Had shipped to store and picked up last week. Saw multiple reviews about damaged items but had no problems. Got it running to test and seems to be OK. Only complaint so far is the location of the oil spout. Very hard to get to. Had to unconnected the battery wire to fit the oil funnel.

I am really happy with the Westinghouse 5300 duel fuel generator I purchased because dealing with propane power is very easy. With my last generator, I had to deal with harsh gasoline and thoroughly cleaning up the tiny spillage here and there upon refilling the thing with a gas can (which also permeats the air with fumes). The Westinghouse is great.

I purchased this Westinghouse generator because I was pleased with my Westinghouse power washer purchased within the last year. There is a reason Westinghouse products have 5 star ratings. Very impressed with Westinghouse. Also, I was very pleased with this machine. Easy assembly, started right up, runs smoothly. Also, it has a manual. WOW. Westinghouse is the best. I am a huge fan.

This is a nice generator. Wheel kit was easy to assemble. Added oil that was provided, made battery connection and added gas in and it started right up. Tested it out on drills, saws, compressors, etc. and works great, but I haven't used it on my house yet, and hope I never have to. So far, this is an excellent generator and a good price.

I am a senior widow woman. I needed something with ease so I can do this myself. I found this self start with a remote to boot! Did not even know they made them. It has no flat tires. One of the few that has rubber covers to go over all of the plugs. I think for a senior it is perfect!

I’ve been running the generator just to make sure it will work during a hurricane and it seems to run very well. I put a load on it and it ran like a champ. I really enjoy the push start, and I was very surprised how quiet it is compared to our older one.

Arrived three days after ordering. Well packaged, but heavy. Not a one man job wrangling it out of the box and assembling. I suspended it from my tractor’s forks, did the assembly, added oil, and transported to work site. Assembling the wheels and feet was a breeze, and the needed 0.7 q of oil was supplied along with a filling spout. I’m saving that bottle to measure out the 0.7 a in the future. I’ve only run the generator twice, and the first was just a brief test to confirm that Volts, Hz, and use duration display was working. Later I put it to work for a couple hours, and everything seemed fine. What a relief to have battery start. I’m too old to be yanking a cord only to have an engine refuse to start. The generator does have a built-in trickle charger, but I doubt that’s enough to maintain the battery, especially after short bouts of use. I’m getting a small solar charger to keep the battery topped off between uses.

I brought this generator after being without power for 2 1/2 days. I wanted one that could power my well pump and some other things in the house. I also like the fact I can use.it to power my camper if I ever need to. I tried on my camper and it runs great. Westinghouse has always made a reliable product.

We got this to run the refrigerator, window a/c unit and the WiFi router in case of a power outage. It’s easy to set up and start. This one is gasoline only. If you’d like one that runs on propane, look for a dual fuel generator. It will cost a little more and they put out less power when running on the propane, which is why we opted for the gasoline model. Remember you’ll need to calculate the starting wattage of the items you want to run. You’ll need to add the running wattage of all the items you plan to plug in, and add the starting wattage of the item with the highest starting wattage. This number must be less than the peak output wattage of this generator (6600 peak watts). The total running wattage of all the items you’ll be plugging in must be less than the running watts of this generator (5300 running watts). Remember you could alternate items that you plug in. So if I want to plug something else in that would add up to more than the running wattage, I can unplug the refrigerator for a while in order to run the other item. Remember to place the generator a minimum of 20 feet away from any door or window to avoid carbon monoxide entering your home. If you plan to run it in heavy rain or snow, there are running covers you can order. Westinghouse has a really nice one.
