Awesome Generator, Bad Shipping

I received this generator, works great, the only issue I had is the frame was bent when I received it. It didn't affect the way it runs, but I was unable to lower the handle all the way down. I disassembled the generator, and once I had everything removed from the frame, I straightened it. After reassembly, it still works great.

WGen5300s

I bought this for the many power outages that we have in our area. When the generator arrived it was very easy to set up! After I put the supplied oil in and some fuel, It started right up! The electric start is a must! Product seems to be very well built in fit and finish. Now I'll be ready for that next wind storm!

Portable generator for average home use

Our new Westinghouse portable generator arrived on time, as scheduled. The generator is complete with out damage. All pertinent paperwork is with the generator, including a simple but thorough User Manual, including a maintenance guide. Tools, a funnel and a quart of 4-stroke engine oil are included. I haven't powered it up yet but given Westinghouse reputation I am confident this will be fine. I'm happy with the generator!

Just got it!

Just received the generator. Very easy to assemble (even sent tool kit). Added oil, connected battery, added gas and started it up. Love the electric start with compression backup. Started within 5 seconds on first try. Runs like a champ, provides power and will provide for our safety and make my life much easier. Thank you!

6600-watt Unit is an excellent choice

I purchased this 6600-watt generator to back up my home during storms and power outages, and it has exceeded expectations. Right out of the box, the setup was straightforward with clear instructions. It started on the first pull and runs smoothly every time. Noise levels are reasonable for a generator of this size — not silent, but quieter than others I’ve heard. The build quality is solid, and the wheels make it easier to move around considering its weight. Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable, durable, and powerful generator for home backup or job sites, this 6600-watt unit is an excellent choice. It offers peace of mind when the power goes out.

Runs Great when it runs

We bought in May of this year, started using 3 times a week with no problems for about three weeks, then the problems started ..first little things, the spring in the carberator sprung, the pull start assembly broke, the arm on the choke adjustment broke, little things that make it really hard for the generator to run correctly. Normal wear and tear I understand, but not replacing carberator in 3 weeks time, or pull start assembly twice in as many months and still no response from westinghouse support about the warranty that all this should be covered under ..but when the generator is 100%, it's amazingly quiet, handles well and easy to use, great on gas too! If you didn't get a lemon as I believe we have u will have a great generator

Easy to get started, minor installation kinks

Overall very easy to assemble and get started. But several minor kinks noticed: 1. When installing the two feet, one of the nuts is not aligned well, making it impossible to screw the flange bolt in. I had to screw the bold in from the other direction to force it through (kind of opening up the threads), then screw the bolt out and install as illustrated in the manual. 2. In Page 18, step 5 of "Starting the generator," I was looking for the breakers on the generator originally. After finding on such buttons, then realized this step means breakers on my circuit panel, etc. So please make this clear to minimize confusion. For standard-alone operation (e.g., on the road), this step is not needed.

Solid Generator Package

Overall solid generator for the frame size. We purchased this one over the next step up due to the big jump in weight. My wife didn't like the idea of moving a generator almost 200 lbs. This one has good power, easy to move around, and the electric start makes it a snap to get up an running. Only took 10 minutes to install the feet/wheels, put the oil in (funnel & oil included, thank you), and connect the battery. The only reason for not giving this 5 stars is due to a couple minor non-functional/cosmetic issues. There a scratch on the blue front panel that was touched up with non-matching paint and the rubber feet are not at the same level so one pad is off the ground. On one of the feet the metal bend seemed off and when torqueing the bolt down it interfered with bend likely causing the whole foot to move when torqued down. Again, very minor.

Started on first pull!

I bought this 6 weeks ago to help with the regular power outages that occur where I live. I have had the opportunity lately to use it. I took it out of the box prepped it and it started up on the first pull! ...Wow! I never have had a gas engine power tool do that do that! ....Awesome!

Easy to assemble

I have not used this as yet, but it is ready to go. Was easy to assemble and instructions are easy to follow. The only thing I found difficult was filling the oil. To fill it requires putting the funnel at an odd angle and the oil flows very slowly and backs up.
