Gets the job done! No damage on arrival. Needed for the basics fridge and tv no problem. Being in Southern California wild fires and black outs becoming everyday this w5300v has been up to the task. Sound is tame comes with the basics wheels and oil. Thank you!

I bought this for emergency situations when our power goes out, which seems to be often where we live. It is very easy to start and operate. The only frustration that I had was attaching the feet to the bottom due to excessive paint on the threads of the nuts.

Straight out of the box I had it put together in 10 min, oiled up, gassed up, and used the electric start on a cold northern New York day. No pull string needed! Seems to be made very well and sturdy, no scuffs from shipping, and has a very nice deep black finish on the frame and a very nice navy blue paint job. Great product!

We researched portable generators online, and decided on Westinghouse based on the products rating and company reputation. We have not yet used the generator, and hopefully will not have a storm related power outage that necessitates it. But we are confident that this generator will take care of our needs should the occasion arise. When the product arrived, it was well packed, undamaged and very easy to assemble.

I just received this generator today. I performed the minimal assembly and introduced the lubricant provided. It started on the second crank and tested very well. I like that the wheels are not inflatable, that was a problem with the one that was stolen. It appears to be very well built, I like the fuel gauge.

My neighbor has one of these. During Hurricane Sally last September, he was able to power so many items n his house. At that time I did not have a generator. He told me I would really regret not getting one. So I purchased it. Upon initial startup, it quickly fired up. I was able to power items quickly. This is going to be a purchase that I will not regret. Thanks Westinghouse.

Bought this generator for my elderly mother. Working like a charm so far! Easy to set up, engine starts like a dream (using the electric start, which was a MUST for her, and which frequently doesn't work on most generators), and gives an amazing amount of runtime for its gas consumption. I've also heard that the customer service team is excellent, though luckily I have had no need to test that for myself. One minor issue: The exhaust pipe is covered, and surrounded by a spark arrestor frame. So while I really want to add an extension to funnel exhaust completely out of the shed, I don't have enough available pipe to clamp an extension onto. I get why the team capped and covered the pipe, but this is an issue for a generator that produces a *huge* amount of carbon monoxide - like, it will fill a small space instantly with fumes that can kill you quickly.

After getting it all unboxed and oil put in I hooked up my propane tank and pulled maybe three times and ran for hours flawlessly has great features to it and it doesn't run to loud for this type on gen very pleased powered everything in my camper as it should have.

Bought this for weather emergencies. Very easy assembly. Well built. Perfect balance of power, price, and portability. Not the quietest generator but that wasn’t high on my list. Enough power to keep essentials running for a few days if power is down.

I’m a huge fan of Westinghouse so I really wanted to like this, but I had no idea it was going to be this good! It’s everything I expect from Westinghouse plus way more. All the controls are very easy to use and read and they really have thought of everything. Cranked up 1st pull and ran solid. Much quieter than I thought it would be. This will be for emergencies only, and I trust it will keep my family and I safe during week long power outages.
