This generator is smaller than the other generator I was using. It feels very solid. The motor is a little noisy, but not as loud as other generators. I really like the gauges on it that tell me the voltage and hours. This little thing is going to be an awesome addition to our house when the power goes out. It is certainly a workhorse. Very pleased so far!

Generator and parts arrived in excellent condition. Easy to assemble. Generator started easily. Needed to change plug from my services, very easily done. After reading directions (many times), Voltage Selector switch needed to be set on 240 volts to operate on my service, thinking it had only to be on 120 volts. Contacted my electrician and he verified setting was correct because he had installed same generator earlier.

Generator arrived a couple weeks longer than anticipated, but not surprising since it was ordered in December. Out of the box, there were a couple dents but nothing that should affect its operation. Assembled, added fluids, and it started right up on first pull. So far, very pleased.

I really like the directions for use. I like the electric start. The control panel is nicely laid out. The generator runs well and is great value for cost. It is a good light machine with the handle to move it about. I had no problems putting it together or starting it. I would recommend it to others.

After several weeks of research I decided on the WGen5300c. It has all the features I was looking for at a price I could afford. It has enough power to run everything I need, it.is light enough to move around fairly easily and it is surprisingly quite for an open frame generator. I unboxed it, set it up per the directions and it started right up. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.

We just bought this and haven’t had chance to use it yet. My son assembled it easily enough. I found it to be just as advertised. I hope we don't have to use it too soon, but if we do have a power outage, I have no doubt that it will provide what we expect with the 5300 running watts. I stressed about power outages every time a bad storm was coming, but now will be at east knowing we have the Westinghouse Generator.

Got it today, did the recommended break in. engine sputters from time to time,(governor thing I think), may need to be rejetted,waiting for support. After break in, seems to carry a load @ 120 volts ok. Need to get a plug to test 240 side.Instructions could be a little clearer in that you need to cut the zip tie on the battery connection and connect it.other than that it starts, it runs, it makes power, I'm happy!

Westinghouse has been around a long time for a good reason. Quality product that is affordable. This is my second Westinghouse generator. I have the WH7000E that I use at my home in California and it has worked flawless for the past 5 years plus. This one will be the backup and my travel generator.

This arrived a few days ago and it fired up with no problem. Before I could find a storage location a strong storm came through and knocked out power (Central Florida). I started the generator with no problem, outside of course, and was very happy to power fridge and lights. I connected the fridge, some lights and one small window A/C unit and all came on.

I've been looking for generator for years, read lots of reviews about different brands, then I found this one WGen5300V, the output 5300W is almost enough to power my whole house, and with very good price. Just take one pull to start it, and it works just as I expected.
