This generator was the best Watt/Cost ratio. It has an easy pull start, you don't need a battery or worry about it being charged. I chose the gas only version over propane because unless you have a stationary tank, you still need to stop any generator in order to switch fuel type, you would need to take care of the additional propane tank, and running on propane reduces the maximum wattage. Other features included that other generators at this price don't have: roll cage, wheels, digital gauge with voltage, frequency, hours, and use timer. With a 5300 running watts limit, it runs with no problem my big fridge, a crockpot, 50" LCD TV, DVD player, 2 tablets, 2 cell phones, and a fan. Planning to add a window AC unit and when winter comes, a space heater. Also planning to add an interlock switch to run the lights and the furnace.

We bought this Westinghouse generator because we live in FL and we lived thru Hurricane Ian but had to borrow a friends generator for two weeks, as we’d lost power. We decided that it was time to purchase one for ourselves and we did our research and checked reviews. This generator got the best reviews and had all the features we needed. Now, we hope that we don’t have to use it, but at least we have piece of mind!

I just bought this a week and a half ago so this is what I know so far.The generator with the electric start(my husband really likes that)has been running very good so far.We plan to use it with our 5th wheel when leave in November and head for Tx.Our other generator disappeared last year when we were gone for the day.It has everything we wanted and it's nice looking so we're looking forward to our trip and going without electric when we stop.

Just unpacked and assembled the unit per clear instructions. Quite simple. added oil, and a little gas and it started, no problem. The only negative was a little damage to the generator end cap/vent. See photo. Since the box was not damaged, I assume it was damaged at the factory. I does not hinder the operation of the unit. It's a keeper. I would purchase this product again.

I bought this to replace a old generator. It has been working flawlessly for 4 straight days. I use the Transfer switch plug to run my whole house. Electric start is a major plus. Also is a nice looking unit and the foot print is smaller than my old generator. Will definitely fill my emergency needs!

This is the perfect small to mid-sized generator. Great value and all the features I needed to run 2 refrigerators, 2 portable air conditioners and 6 fans and some A/V equipment for 12 hours on a single tank of gas. I almost got the dual fuel for this location and that would have been great too.

I purchased the 5300c because of the push and remote start. When I tried it out to make sure it worked ok and it started on 2nd pull. Then tried the push start and it started immediately. Took 1 star off because I bought one earlier in the month and it was heavily damaged on delivery to my home so it had to be returned.

I purchased this generator as a back up generator for my home. I chose this brand due to its name and being that Westinghouse was from Pennsylvania. I like that this product is duel fuel and is a great brand to have. I’m very happy to have this generator!

Recently purchased the wgen5300s. Arrived in perfect condition and very promptly. Set up was easy and The instructions were clear. I gave it a test by plugging in two 1500 watt space heaters then added my miter saw. It worked as expected. Also tested the electric start as well as the manual pull cord. Both worked perfectly.

This was purchased as a back up power source for our off grid home in Mexico.it not only looks great, its also èasy to start which is very important for my mom and I. We are both senior citizens so simple instructions are very important to us' both.it has plenty of power to run our entire household if necessary.
