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 bought my generator on 09/25/20. I love the electric start due to the fact I am a 70 year old female and do not have the strength I use to have to manually start it, however a male family member did on the first pull. I ran it for an hour with no load as instructed and it ran perfectly. I now have peace of mind that in an emergency I won't lose food in my freezer and have enough wattage to power everything I want.

After our deadly power outage last winter, we are determined to be ready next time. We researched the best bang for the buck, most reliable and easy to use- and with enough power to run heaters and fridge. The Westinghouse WGen5300V checked all the boxes! We just got it and it is a good size with ample outlets!

I bought this a couple of days ago and it works like a champ. It has been able to keep our freezer & fridge running with no issues. It is amazing how quite it is. I have used it up at our property to build a cabin. I have been able to keep the power tools going and charged.

Bought this generator as a back up after a storm to power a few household items. I was easy to unpack and add the wheels/legs. The product came damaged from shipping, but I contacted the customer service hotline and had a new piece sent to me immediately hassle free. I was very impressed on how great the customer service was and how responsive they were. I was kept in the loop throughout the process. I am glad I bought this generator!

Haven't had to use the generator yet, thankfully. Start it up on the first of each month and it always starts right up. It's easy to pull. As a smaller, and older, woman, I was happy that I can easily pull start it. Very much appreciate that. Thanks for a good product. MaryAnn Chapman

Impressed with shipping materials. Generator arrived in perfect condition. Installed wheels and feet easily. Added supplied oil and non-ethanol gas. Used the manual hand crank to gently cycle the engine and let the oil circulate. Then closed choke and manually started the engine on the first pull. After running for about a half hour, I turned it off and tried the electric start method. It started perfectly. I would definitely recommend this product. Very pleased.

I just got this as a Christmas present. It was really easy to assemble (very little assembly required) and easy to set-up. After a few pulls of the rope, the generator started right up. It’s not as loud as some generators I’ve heard. We are thankful that the next time a storm strikes we’ll be ready.

We bought this generator to replace an eleven-year-old Honda model that finally died. We live in a remote, heavily wooded area, and often lose power. My husband, 81 and I, 75, both a bit wobbly, managed to easily unpack and set this up on our own in about 30 minutes. The instructions are well written, extremely clear, and logical. The unit itself is logical, everything marked and instructions easy to understand. New features we are thrilled about: electric starter means I can start this by myself; the fuel gage makes it easier to determine fuel levels in the dark, and the CO2 shut off is a great safety feature. This generator runs our well pump, oil furnace, refrigerator, household lights, microwave, toaster oven, internet & WIFI, TVs etc. without a problem. Plus, it seems quieter and appears to run cleaner. After getting it all set up, we ran it for about 30 minutes without issue. We're quite happy with our purchase. Just read the instructions and follow each step as outlined and you won't have a problem.

We bought this generator as our first generator and so far we’ve impressed. Super easy assembly (wheels) and relatively lightweight (with no gas). Followed directions for first use, and after adding oil and gas, this was easy to fire up. We let it run for an hour as prescribed and we were pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was in relation to another generator we borrowed. Looking forward to hooking this up to the house to see how well it performs overall.
