I purchased this Westinghouse generator because I was pleased with my Westinghouse power washer purchased within the last year. There is a reason Westinghouse products have 5 star ratings. Very impressed with Westinghouse. Also, I was very pleased with this machine. Easy assembly, started right up, runs smoothly. Also, it has a manual. WOW. Westinghouse is the best. I am a huge fan.

With just a little work, this was ready to go as soon as the box opens. Love the different amp options, the long run time of 14.5 hours, the carbon monoxide sensor, and the peace of mind this machine offers. This is more than enough to run our essential items when (not if) the power is cut off because of inclement weather.

I bought this a month ago and am finally got a friend to help me set it up. It is very sturdy and easy to put together, but too heavy for a female. It is easy to start and has the features I need. I am having an electric company install a switch so it will be easter to run the appliances I need during a power outage.

Just finished my 1 hour break in period. Alternator cover was bent in slightly, I straightened it back out with no difficulty. I liked that break in was only 1 hour. Will change oil at 25 hours per manual. Nice that it came with oil and funnel. Started right up. Everything good so far.

This thing is a beast right out of the box! Very sturdy and just feels like it has great quality. Started it up and it’s not as loud as I thought my would be, and so far the power is pretty consistent on a 25% load. Assembly was a breeze! Not bad so far!

Simple to assemble. Started right up! Great product, but it’s one you hope you never have to use, but brings nice peace of mind with it! Battery connection at start up is a little tough to put together if your hands are a little arthritic like mine! Just takes a little more effort.

I just received this generator two days ago and today I assembled it, added oil and gas and tested it. It looks well made and ran good. The one disappointment was that one of the locking clips on the air filter assembly #50030057 will not latch. It was like that when I took it out of the box. How did QC miss that ? Cal

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 purchased this in preparation for an ice storm because of all the great features, the good ratings, the power and the relative ease of moving it (as opposed to getting a true standby generator). It was a breeze to set up. Just working through the break-in period at the moment.

I purchased my Westinghouse Wgen5300s generator in Oct 2020. I is everything I expected. I appreciate the wheels and handle included in the price. My wife can even roll this unit around. It started right up the first time and everytime there after. I can fully load the house on this unit. I have a well for water and during a long power outage no water. So this unit has everything I need during an emergency.
