Works great, simple to use, but some serious flaws

When I am able to move it outside, the generator does exactly what I need it to, however, the muffler is pointed directly at the wheel base, which makes the tires and wheels very hot. The wheel base is also not sturdy. The unit I have has the hub spot-welded to the frame. The vibration and heat caused the wheel base to collapse after 1 hour of use and I had to go buy a cart and get a buddy to help me wheel it back to the garage. Its also kind of loud.

Robust Generator

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.

Wow what an upgrade! You will love this machine!

I purchased this generator to replace a 22 year old generac. While the generac worked well for many years, it slowly, as expected, started to produce less and less amperage, and then just died. Being used to a crazy loud generator for years, starting and running this Westinghouse machine was such a pleasant surprise! Amazing how much quieter it is than the generac! Runs smooth as can be, ever under max load condition. I purchased a Westinghouse gas pressure washer last year, been loving that, so it was a natural choice to get this unit.

Great product

What great product. When I received his product, it was raining and the electric went off. I had it up and running in 15 minutes. I ran it for six hours and not a problem. It was so easy getting running for the first time. This Generator is a very quiet starts in one full and was well packaged. In that six hours, it ran more than I expected I was very happy with that.

Excellent generator for the money

I bought the WGen5300V generator after we had an ice storm. I know, too late but I had been shopping for one for years. I think I'll be ready for the next power outage as this generator works and sounds great. It was easy to set up. I installed the oil and some fresh gas to see it start the first pull. Hooked up some appliances to see them work. Can't say anything about longevity but I feel like I made a good investment. Fed-EX delivered it to my door in a pretty fast time.

Product arrived in good shape, well packaged.

Easy to put together with all parts included. Started on second pull. I thought it was a little noisy but didn't know what exactly to expect. Not sure if I'll be receiving bonus because of limited availability which will be a disappointment since the offer was included in the packet.

An asset

Appears to be well built with excellent features. It started immediately after adding oil. I have run it for only 10 hours and I am well pleased. I would like to have a remote start feature . Also would like rear mounts and rear wheels. I could then remove wheels which would reduce the foot print for using in a fixed location.

Very good value and features for price

Easy to assemble and start. Ran smoothly during the engine break in period. Arrived without damage! Ordered another brand and 2 units were damaged during shipping due to poor packaging. The Westinghouse unit had better packaging and was made with more solid materials than the competing brand.

Great features and easy to operate

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.
