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 !

I just moved to an area where the power goes out often and for several days at a time. I bought this WGen5300 generator and I love it. It supplies my entire home including my well pump and hot water heater. As an older woman living alone, this is a very easy generator to use. Electric start with backup pull just in case. This generator has made my life easier and more worry free. Thank you Westinghouse!

First time owning a generator. Did lots of research to see what I needed for the right price. Found the Wgen5300s to best fit my needs. Got it home and took out of box, filled with gas and oil, started on the first press of the switch! Shut it down and used the manual start just to test and started right up. Runs easy and way more power than I currently need which is what I wanted. Sturdy construction and still compact enough for easy mobility and storage.

Got this from Santa. Gorgeous looking machine. Started on the first try. Runs like a top, and performs beautifully. Can't wait to take it camping or to the family cabin. Hopefully I won't need it for a power outage, but I feel much better just knowing that I have a quality machine, just in case. .

This is a well built unit that is easy to set-up. Well written manual. Has start-up instruction right on the unit. Lots of power for it's size, more than adequate for an emergency back-up generator for a house with a generator interlock switch set up. Very happy with this purchase.

With the rolling blackouts, this is a great safety purchase for the house. Plenty of wattage, comes with wheels, well built/sturdy, and clear instructions on the maintenance. Very easy to use, built to last with regular maintenance. Love the thoughtful functional design and utility. Generator comes in clutch.

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.

Just got it after a long wait. Simple instructions. putting it together, adding oil and fuel. It started on the first push of the electric start and runs great. It will be a comfort to have with us on our 27 foot fifth wheel, to run everything we will need.

I purchased this product two days ago and it's here already. It seems smaller than my previous generator, but I like the style and color better; not to mention the initial setup and operation. It seems to run quieter and start easier. Time and use will tell. It is my power oasis during power failures, so I hope that I won't have to use it much. Using it to provide power for outdoor functions for break-in testing. Highly recommend his generator at this moment.

Needed a generator after our last died. As luck would have it, we didn't need it for over a year. Was really afraid that when I started it up for the first time after storing it for that long that it wouldn't start. Three easy pulls later (and I mean easy), it fired up and purred like a kitten. Vast improvement over my last generator.
