110 plugs work good but could use 4 instead of 2, also can not get the whole house plug to work (L14-30). Bought one it didn't work so bought another and still doesn't work. also arrived with little dent in housing. will try customer service tomorrow

I decided to purchase a new generator as my other is very old. It was very easy to assemble wheels and fill with oil. Connected it to my 30 amp line connected to my power box , gassed it up hit the electric start button and it instantly started. It powers up my whole house. I let it run for an hour or so and Happy Happy Happy. However B 4 you purchase a generator talk to an electrician first about what wattage is good for your home . I would highly recommend a Westinghouse generator for home use.

Had a smaller version of the Westinghouse generator prior to this one (3600v). The 5300 is powerful enough to run my dryer, whereas the smaller one was not. The included wheels and pull handle are definitely a plus since it was kind of a pain to move the smaller one without them. Also the feet and wheels keep the 5300 from having the frame sit directly on the ground, so that keeps it out of the rain/snow. I use this as auxiliary power for an off-grid cabin. It has enough power to run a refrigerator, chest freezer, washer & dryer (LP gas), lights and water pump. The 3600 only had enough power to run some things - not everything at once (and not the dryer at all). Works great for my application, and I believe it would be a good choice for an RV or emergency power application as well. Only drawbacks vs the smaller version is that it burns more fuel (approx. one 4.7 gal. tank to power the above mentioned devices for about 12 hours) and it is a bit louder while running.

We have been experiencing PSPS outages every time the wind blows losing power for up to 60 hours at a time. This system is particularly nice because it has the electronic start so my wife can get it going if we lose power during the day. Easy to use, works great, a little loud but way better than no power for hours and hours.

I bought this because I am recent transplant to Florida and was unprepared for a hurricane caused extended power outage. I have not used this generator much yet but I did unbox it and get it all setup. It was all a snap. Minor assembly of attaching the wheel kit and stops and adding oil. It has electric start which is a real plus and it cranked right up on first try. I'm actually looking forward to our next power outage!

Generator is heavy (expected), so I highly recommend cutting the box at the corners. This will also make set up easier. Setup was very straight forward. Got it started and checked voltages with a multimeter to confirm proper operation. Compared to other generators that I have used, this one is on par with some of the more expensive ones regarding consistent power output. The power output for this one is more than we needed and even runs my domestic water heater (Rated @ 4500w) which is the largest load that I have to run (even if it is just by itself). Recommend it for house power during outages (intended use for me). Pros: Easy set up, easy maintenance, easy to use. Options for electronic start or manual start. Enough power to run almost anything, although not at the same time. Clear User Manual. Also, when you register it, Westinghouse sends you a cover for the generator. Cons: Noise level would be my only complaint. This is also expected of a running engine at 3600 rpm. Not recommend for camping due to the noise levels. Also, do not recommend running at night if living in a neighborhood. You will make your neighbors mad, unless you share the power (which this allows fairly easy with a regular extension cord).

It looks good with nice features like the electric start and no need for a battery charger since this unit charges as it runs just like your vehicle but even if you have to use the recoil pull option its really easy to pull n starts on about the 2nd pull so its easy enough for just about anyone to start it,not real loud either so if you have a shed or something to store n run it in you won't be bothered by noise,the digital read out is really nice feature to.

I just purchased this generator. It’s well built and well designed. It was very easy to assemble. All that was needed was to put on the wheels and front feet. About five minutes. The oil funnel is a nice feature. It screws into the oil fill so no oil is spilled. I’m pretty sure it will be a dependable long lasting generator but I won’t really know for 15 years

After ready many different reviews of other I made the choice to purchase a Westinghouse Generator. Very pleased with my purchase. It started with only 2 pulls on the first time. I love the handle and wheels, makes it so easy to move around. The noise level is average compared to my old generator. This will run everything in my camper including Microwave and AC. Great Purchase!

Great products i have bought my big dual fuel and it works great so i purchased a small portable gas powered generator and again it worked great very easy start. So i was so impressed that i bought a medium sized dual fuel generator and no surprise it works great on propane and gas. Great well known company and has been around for many years, I strongly recommend these generators to anyone who is looking for a great product. Also they have electric push and pull and best of all the medium and large generators come with REMOTE START so yeah great product highly recommended
