I bought this a month ago and traveled to AZ in my new Travel Trailer. I used it only a few times. I last used it in Monticello UT on 4-11-23 . I tried to start it Monday 4/12/23 in a tire shop parking lot waiting for the next morning opening. It wouldn't turn over AT ALL. I've tried a couple of times since I made it to the RV Park on 4-13-23, it will not start. Yes: GAS INSIDE, CHOKE ON, START BUTTON ON, MAIN DIAL ON GAS NOT PROPANE!! Still won't start?

Living through hurricanes without a generator can be difficult and stressful, if you live in areas where they can knock power out for weeks at a time, you need a generator. I picked this generator because of the name and price point, a Black Friday purchase. I can power the necessities in my house with this generator, we are now prepared for the weather come what may. It was easy to set up, too.

I had this generator for less than 2 weeks and it started to mess up. It would not run using push to start. If i hand craked it, it would run for 10-30 seconds and shut off. The spark pulg burnt up within a few runs. When it runs, it works great. It has a long battery life and holds all my equipment well. However it is one of the loudest generators that i have had/heard. Not too heavy to pickup if there are 2 people. Easy to move around with the handle and tires.

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.

I’m a huge fan of Westinghouse so I really wanted to like this, but I had no idea it was going to be this good! It’s everything I expect from Westinghouse plus way more. All the controls are very easy to use and read and they really have thought of everything. Cranked up 1st pull and ran solid. Much quieter than I thought it would be. This will be for emergencies only, and I trust it will keep my family and I safe during week long power outages.

We purchased this generator with the power intention to use it for our house and portable BBQ-ing. The noise level is super acceptable and quiet for a generator this size, and it’s super comfortable inside whilst it’s running outside. Would be cool if it had electric start but it’s definitely not a dealbreaker.

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.

Started on third pull after adding oil and fuel. Ran for 1 hour break-in period with no problems. Easy to maneuver. Bought it as back up to a Westinghouse 7000e that is 9 years old that I just replaced the fuel line and spark plug on. The 5300v will work with my Generlink device for home emergency power.

Bought this after having yet another power outage that lasted multiple days. Have only just broke this unit in but it was a breeze to setup and get running. Provides plenty of power for a smaller until. For an open frame generator it is pretty quite. Was able to talk withy wife right next to the unit while it was running without having to raise my voice.

This is a really good generator and I am pleased with the purchase. This is our second unit and we use it for power outage. It has enough power for a freezer, 2 fridges, lights, two fans and lasts 9-10 hours on a full gas tank. The noise level is not bad - much better than our old unit. Highly recommended.
