Easy to set up and great features!

I purchased on line after reviewing several generators. This model best meets our needs. It was packed securely; came with detailed instructions and was very easy to set up. I added oil (provided) gassed it up and with a push of a button it started up. Very pleased. Also appreciate the safety features. Great product.

Easy to setup!

The unboxing and setup was fairly easy, and completed within 30 minutes. It's heavy, so plan on a second set of hands or cutting the box. It looks good and is "normal" noise level for a generator. I feel they are always too loud. Time will tell if it holds up, but i'm happy so far.

Great Generator

We upgraded a 30 yr. old pull start generator to this one after a 2-day power outage in July. Assembled quickly and started right up. Very nice and compact unit, smaller than the old one with a little more power. The push button start is wonderful. My wife can even set this one up and start it if needed. Since then, had another 24-hr. power outage and this unit got a work out. No issues at all. Even uses less gas than the old one.

Great Choice for medium power generator

I received and installed the wheels and foot of the generator chassis. The installation process was smoothly and straightforward. I like the reasonable weight of this model, WGen5300sc. For occasional power outages, I expect this generator to provide adequate power supply for the essential appliances, e.g. refrigerator

Great price Lots of features

I have just started using this generator and right out of the box it worked great. After adding oil and gas it took two pulls on the cord and it started right up. I would highly recommend this generator price and value for your money is excellent. My son has had a Westinghouse generator for four years and has never had any problems with it.

Wgen5300v generator

Just received it , assembly was easy, read the book completely to make sure I understand everything about it, put oil and gas, pull a few times, knowing first start take a few pulls to get gas to the carb. Started great. So far it runs great, haven’t had chance to really use it yet but I will.

Easy Setup

I bought this WGen5300 yesterday which was one week after Hurricane Helene hit the upstate of South Carolina. We were without power for 5 days and had to rely on borrowed generators from family members. I have completed putting the parts together and the instructions were very thorough and correct. I have read the instructions and find them easy to understand. I am very confident that I will be ready for the next power outage. I have complete confidence in the operation of this generator.

Nice Generator

I purchased this generator at the end of last month, shortly after after loosing power. We had recently been experiencing heavy rain and our sump pump was working overtime; the short power outage was not fun, manually pumping the sump! I'm prepared now! It did arrive a little later than predicted and a little beat-up (recoil starter cover bent from hit to box). But happy to have purchase this.

Portable Generator

We found ourselves having to purchase a generator because our electricity provider struggles to keep their client serviced. So we bought this generator so that when we lose power, the generator can power up the entire house. We just got it today. It fired right up and we are having the House wired for it next week. Very excited. I have another Westinghouse portable generator that I have been extremely happy with. I highly recommend this company.

Excellent generator

I purchased this generator as part of my hurricane preparedness kit, and I’m extremely satisfied with its performance and reliability. It started right up out of the box and provides enough power to keep essential appliances running during an outage. The build quality feels solid, great generator all around.
