Picked up my generator today. Wow what a brut. I am very pleased with this generator. Well built and heavy. My opinion this unit is the best on the market for the price. I will be telling my friends about this baby for sure. Thanks Westinghouse for building a great generator.

I was looking for a gennie that would run pretty much the whole house, but without breaking the bank to buy. I ran across this great W'house 5300W gennie and said "That's the one!" I ordered it and the delivery was timely. I cut the box down the sides and pretty much laid the box out flat. I read the instructions and, 30 minutes later, it was completely put together (wheels and bottom braces were the only assembly items), oil put in, gas put in, battery connected and start button pressed 3X for ~1 second each time. It fired up on the 3rd press of the start button and ran great! I let it go for about 15 minutes, then turned it off. A couple of days later, I fired it up again......1 quick press of the start button was all it took. Before this generator, I had a manual start one that I essentially had to rebuild the carburetor on to get it to start. The W'house is a tremendous improvement and the set up was the easiest I have ever experienced on any outdoor tool. Thanks!!

Bought this due to severe weather and without power for days.I got this it was quickly delivered and easy to setup and run. It’s a pull start which started easy on the 1st pull. It was packaged sturdy for shipping. Manuals and everything you needed was in the both. Oil, spark plug & propane connectors. I definitely recommend Westinghouse. I’m a fan of old school companies that have been in business forever. That’s why I bought it. Along with the great price

My daughter and son-in-law were telling me how pleased they were with their recently purchased 5300SC generator. With the start of hurricane season here, I thought it was a good idea to have one of my own. As I am 96 years young, the electric start feature will definitely come in handy! It is ready to go should it be needed! Thank you. Westinghouse!

I've had the power go out at my house twice in the past 3 months. My sump pump runs constantly and my back up battery system could not handle the load. I researched portable generators and found the Westinghouse unit to have the highest ratings, wattage and value for the money. It was an easy assembly and the wheel and handle make it very easy to move around. With this unit I can run my sump pump and multiple other items anytime regardless of weather or utility power.

Bought the 5300 generator recently and liked the packaging. The generator is a nice clean design and clearly labeled parts. Only complaint is that the manual doesn’t clearly show how much oil to put in the generator before the first start. I will be adding oil and doing the first start within this week.

I bought this generator about 3 weeks ago. It was easy to assemble. Everything that was needed came in the box. The directions didn't tell you how much oil to add, but I used the entire bottle that was included. I haven't actually run this generator during a power outage but I did run it for about 10 minutes to make sure that it would run. Everything seems great so I can't wait to use it!

Received this generator this week and it cranked right up with electric start. I wanted electric start in case my wife had to start it. I have not connected it and used it yet. On reading instructions carefully, I discovered that I needed to remove a jumper wire connecting the neutral to chassis ground. That's because I am connecting to a transfer switch. I hope never to use it but it's there when I need it.

Once received at my this, I added the supplied oil and filled the gas tank. This generator started right up on the pull and ran like a champ for an hour until I shut it off. Even with a full tank of gas, it is extremely easy to move around due to the oversized folding handle and low profile. I am very pleased.

Started engine within 3-4 pulls & generator operates but after 1 minute engine shut down. No CV sensor indicators, unit is located15 feet from anything, even positioned exhaust downwind. Repeated startup procedure over 10 times. Contacted Customer Support suggestions have not changed operating issue. Could be fuel flow, when I last started with gas-valve off, engine runs for about 1 minute before stopping.
