I purchased this WGen5300DFcv portable generator to use as a secondary power source during power outages. I unpackaged it from the box and followed the instructions for minor assembly, starting and operating. The instructions were easy to follow and understand. I hooked my generator up to propane and let it run for 45 minutes during that time cycling various electrical connections and items. Very pleased with this Westinghouse brand, this was my first purchase with this brand and based on my experience there will be future Westinghouse purchases made.

I purchased this WGen5300sc portable generator and I'm so glad I did. Here in Texas we have hurricanes and had some exceptionally freezing winters where we lost all power for days. No more worries now as to what we'll do for some heat, lights and to keep a few appliances running. I'm very impressed with the ease of plugging in my cords and the self start. And I knew I couldn't go wrong with Westinghouse made here in the USA.

I’m so glad we purchased this just before it was out of stock! We’ve been meaning to get one for about five years now. Finally did after a really bad storm hit and left thousands out of power for a few days. Runs smooth, portable and not too too noisy. We love it! We’ll be ready for the next power outage

This was a good price for all the features you get. It was easy to set up and this model came with a wheel kit. Many others don't. It seems sturdy and is heavy, so you need wheels to be able to move it. We had to cut the box just to get it out. We haven't run it yet but did a lot of research on portable generators and this has enough power for running our refrigerator and some minor appliances during a power outage. The blue and black color looks nice too.

To be upfront, this review is solicited by Westinghouse in exchange for a free generator cover, but I am being honest with what I'm about to type. It was easy to put together. It fired right up! The break-in period was simple to understand. It powered my tiny mig welder just fine out in the field. Furthermore, the price was a bargain for the amount of watts. I am eager to try out the 240v feature some day.

The generator started OK the first day. It started up again when I refueled. But after the first day (2 hours running time) I haven't been able to start it. I would have waited until I got a new spark plug (or whatever else needs to be fixed) before writing a review, but they wanted a review as part of registering the warranty.

With our power constantly going out and a total electric trailer, I knew I had to have backup power for heat this winter. This generator was within my price range and will provide the security I need during power outages. It was easy to set up and started right up. It’s light enough to move around. Haven’t actually needed it yet but I’m so glad I have it

Purchased late Dec. 2021. My new Wgen 5300s is everything I need for portable emergency power. Added gas and oil, it started on the first pull and purrs like a kitten. Very impressed with how quite it is too and the confidence of Westinghouse quality and great pricing!! Thanks for a fine product.

I ordered this unit as part of my emergency preparedness for this coming storm season. Place the order on may 24th and it was promptly delivered via fed ex 9 days sooner than expected. The packaging was intact with minimal dings and such. Hardware was easy to assemble and instructions and for start up as well as the machines warranty info and manual were concise yet easy to read. Powerful for its size, it runs everything I need and could add more if we’re necessary.. I especially love the run time on such a small tank of fuel. I could not be more satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it

I bought this as a power back up for my house. Well built, runs quieter than expected, very maneuverable and was delivered in a very timely fashion. I like the fact that the directions are straight forward and easy to follow and the price can't be beat. Put the enclosed wheels on it, added the enclosed oil, filled with gas and it started on the first pull. I would recommend this generator to anyone looking for a reasonably priced back up generator.
