I purchased this item because I'm working on a shed an needed power. it started up right out of box on first pull i was shocked. but after running for awhile i turned off and tried to restart an nothing then i read book and it said, that if it was warmed up i didn't need to have choke on when i turned off choke it started right up. WOW was so happy didn't have to stress out over this.

So glad to be more prepared for MO ice storms. Really like the set up of this model. All the components are easily accessed and the panel is well marked and easy to read. The owners manual is detailed and easy to understand. A lot of power in a small but solid package.

The electric start is easy to use. I filled oil and gas and follow instructions and generator started after two or three pauses, I practiced on my furnace, small freezer and refrig and it handle all three. Now I am waiting for power to go out and then she will become very valuable. Naturally, we have named her "Genny"

Westinghouse generator review I put off getting a generator for too long… Several months ago, we lost power and were without power for two days – not long but long enough to worry about when the power would be restored and potential problems of pipes freezing throughout the house including our heating system (hot water baseboard heat). I searched the internet for reviews and product information. Based on favorable reviews along with good pricing, I chose the Westinghouse WGen5300 to power my house for essential service items in the event of an extended power outage. The unit was delivered on time, undamaged and the installation instructions made easy work for the setup and testing. We have yet to use this during an emergency but were ready to go. No worries for the next power outage ….

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.

I bought this generator after my 22 year old generator finally died. I cannot believe how upgraded generators have become with all their nice features. I haven't had a chance to use it yet but from what I've read in the users manual it will suit my needs to run my household in a power outage. Thank you

Just bought it, had it put together in minutes, Great instruction. Hard to find Dual fuel. I hooked it up to a LP tank and fired it up. Ran great and wasn't near a loud as my other generator.Very Happy with this purchase You need to let more people know about it, Dual Fuel

I bought the WGEN5300V about a week ago...it looks well made, compact and easy to use. With all the power outages lately this generator will be a life saver. It starts right away and is quite. The cost of unit is priced well in its category. I plan to get years of use out of it.

we purchased this generator for peace of mind in case we had a loss of electricity to be able to run our well pump and a few other electronic devices. It turns out that we can operate almost everything we need and more than we thought we would be able to. We are very please with it

The generator is compact, well designed and reasonably easy to move around. Assembly was a snap as the unit can be rolled over (with no oil, etc.) on surrounding protective bars allowing wheel kit installation. Test run proved excellent. Bring on the next power failure!
