Excellent Features

I bought this unit in November 2020 and have used it several times. Minimal assembly was required, it starts very quickly and the electric start is fantastic. I keep a battery maintainer on the battery and will run the unit once a month to ensure it's ready to go.

Easy to set up and use

I bought this unit a few weeks ago and it was so easy to set up. Slide the wheels on, plug in the battery connector, and add oil. Maybe 10 minutes. Started right up and now I'm ready for the next power outage. If it save the contents of my fridge one time it will have paid for itself!

So Far, So Good

Just received the 5300 with electric start, the quick setup instructions very easy to follow, includes everything -wheels, tool kit, oil and even a funnel ! Gassed it up - pushed the electric start ...... fired right up, average operating sound for a generator, ran smoothly, no leaks or drips ! Gave it a quick test with two 1875w hair dryers ..... no problem ! The WGen replaces a 3500w manual start , I can get spoiled with this electric start ! And like with anyone who buys a home generator "I hope I never use it" but in this New Normal , it will be getting it's use !

Easy pull start very please

I bought this dual generator due to winter storms and losing power for days. This generator came boxed securely and with everything in the box that you need to set it up and start it - except for the fuel. That’s on you. The build & quality of this machine is awesome. Starts on the first pull and works as it should I highly recommend this company- the reason I bought a Westinghouse was it’s been in business forever

Supereasy set-up and start-up

Assembly was quick. Pull-start worked on first attempt. Runs more quietly than any generator I have had. Doesn't strain under load. Will hopefully provide us with back-up power for many years to come. Great Product! (New England power outages are frequent. This summer we were without power for 9 days after Tropical Storm Isaias.)

So far so good, Bonus Gift never received

I’ve owned this unit for a year now and it worked great during a three day outage from a tropical storm in Florida. I was supposed to receive a cover for it, but I never received it. four stars for not receiving my cover after leaving a previous review per direction.

Solid Generator!

I bought this generator for home backup power and am very impressed with the quality. The generator arrived promptly and in good shape. Assembly is a breeze and the oil needed comes with the generator. The oil funnel included makes adding oil easy and mess free. After assembly I started it, which only took one pull on the cord. After following the break-in instructions, I load tested my generator and everything works as it should. The data center display is very clear and helpful, especially for the maintenance reminders. I also appreciate the manual being well made, with good information clearly laid out. Anyone who's dealt with poorly written or vague manuals will know how wonderful a good manual is. This generator has the quality you would expect from Westinghouse and I expect to have this product for many years to come.

Bang for buck!

Beautiful machine, great quality build, my favorite part is how compact this generator is, it fits in the bed of my truck with the cover over the bed and has more than enough power to operate our jack hammer on the job or our house in a storm. 10/10!
