Easy to setup!

The unboxing and setup was fairly easy, and completed within 30 minutes. It's heavy, so plan on a second set of hands or cutting the box. It looks good and is "normal" noise level for a generator. I feel they are always too loud. Time will tell if it holds up, but i'm happy so far.

WGen5300s

Seems OK after starting and running for the break in period. 3stars because it did come with a large dent in the windings cover. They had to have packed it that way from the factory as the box wasn't even creased. It also appeared they painted it with the dent because it had no scratch, scrape, paint chip, nothing. Not great quality control.

Easy to setup & operate

This generator came and the only thing I had to do was put on the wheel kit (very simple). Super easy to move around with the handle and wheels. Added oil (provided) and gas then connect the battery (simple quick connect). Then push the button and it started right up. I would definitely recommend this product.

Excellent Generator

I purchased this unit about a month ago and could not be happier. It starts very easy and runs smooth. I especially like the handle for moving the unit as it is sturdy and extends to the right length. I highly recommend purchasing this generator as it is a great value and is very high quality.

Has all the features that I wanted

I bought this a month ago and haven't had to use it yet. I have started it by the battery start and also the pull start, both worked well. I'm in the process of adding a transfer switch to my load center. This generator is transfer switch ready, so it should work fine.

Quiet & easy to operate

Quiet compared to most generators this size. Easy to operate. Helped 6 neighbors with generator problems during 8-day power outage during Ian. Plus, my 22-year-old Champion that broke a piston. Picked Westinghouse because of the availability, online, of how to guides and manuals.

Disappointing

I bought this in the summer for this winter to assure that my animals and children including a baby would be kept warm and safe this winter when we loose power. We were extremely disappointed when we discovered that within a minute or less of being started it shuts off. Neighbors tried to help but to no avail, even someone who is good with small engine repairs tried to get it started. They suspect there may be an issue with the carburetor. This is brand new and with all the great reviews we are disappointed to be sitting here without power.

Started Right Up - Easy to Operate

Bought this for home to run sump pump during an extended power outtage. After outfitting the unit with the motor oil it came with and fresh gas, it started right up. Make sure you follow the initial break in instructions and run it without any load for 1-hour. Piece of mind with this unit.

Fantastic Value

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.
