I bought this 3 weeks ago, took 3 weeks to deliver, came well packed, easy to assemble. tested OK but have not run for a long period of time yet. I will run it through a test soon to make sure it works well. Could be quieter. So far so good Love the battery start.

I received my new WGen5300s Westinghouse generator this week. After installing the feet and wheels, adding oil and gas, and connecting the battery, it started on the first attempt. After some electrical work on my home was completed, this generator powered my entire home. This will be helpful for us since we live in a rural community with lots of trees. The last storm we had, our power was off for almost a whole day. We lost most of the food in our refrigerator. This generator will pay for itself if we have several outages. The directions are very well written and helpful.

Setup has been easy, and the instructions were very clear. We purchased the generator as a backup for our house, so I hope to not need it too often. I appreciate the recommendations included about how to keep things maintained and ready to go, even if the generator is in storage for several months at a time.

Our power was out for over a week and it was cold and miserable, I had enough and after thorough research I stumbled upon this gem of a generator, this is a total bang for your buck situation! This generator comes with everything you need and is powerful enough to run major equipment inside your home. Highly Recommend!!!

We purchased the Westinghouse 6600/5300 portable generator in December and just had an electrician install a generator transfer power breaker and an input connection today. He tested the generator (which started on the first push of a button) and it worked beautifully to provide back up power as we had hoped.

just purchased the Westinghouse wgen5300s generator. Up to this point it is the easiest generator that i have put together and the easiest to break in. i am an 80 year old male and the electric start is a super plus. i am giving it a 9 out of ten only for two reasons. number 1 i wish it had an on off on for the voltage switch so that you could just center off the switch rather that unplugging power cords before shutting down. number two the other thing is the oil plug needs to have a 90 degree elbow pointing away from mounting rail to keep oil from running down the rail. i would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a back up power supply Butch80

I bought my generator on 09/25/20. I love the electric start due to the fact I am a 70 year old female and do not have the strength I use to have to manually start it, however a male family member did on the first pull. I ran it for an hour with no load as instructed and it ran perfectly. I now have peace of mind that in an emergency I won't lose food in my freezer and have enough wattage to power everything I want.

I bought this WGen5300v to replace a smaller Predator generator now that I have an interlock on my home electrical panel with an exterior 30A plug. Now I’ll be able to use a few more items in the house if and when we lose power during the winter months. Easy assembly. Great features.

We originally bought the wgen3600. It was a pull start and had no wheels. It wouldn’t start, gunked carb from possibly a bit of gas left in it after testing. We decided to get a push start with wheels, the wgen5300s. Started right up! I think it will be perfect to have around for emergencies!

So far so good. Does what I need and no issues to report. Only observation is upon assembly, the flange bolt for the mounting foot extends into the angled metal of the foot, preventing a flush contact. I was still able to tighten down sufficiently however.
