Ordered this generator to prepare for power loss this winter. Arrived as promised. Followed steps and easy to assemble by myself. A little heavy but able to turn over for assembly. Followed all instructions and started right up and ran well. Thankfully I haven't had to use it, but I'm sure it will do the job of keeping lights on and small appliances running.

Purchased this generator Aug 12/2023 assembled it with easy instructions, oil fill was very easy plus wheel assembly and battery plug in a breeze. Added some gas, ran it for 30 minutes with no problem. The manual gives great instructions on servicing the unit. Also, easy to move for a generator weighing 122 lbs. Fast shipping

I ordered this unit as part of my emergency preparedness for this coming storm season. Place the order on may 24th and it was promptly delivered via fed ex 9 days sooner than expected. The packaging was intact with minimal dings and such. Hardware was easy to assemble and instructions and for start up as well as the machines warranty info and manual were concise yet easy to read. Powerful for its size, it runs everything I need and could add more if we’re necessary.. I especially love the run time on such a small tank of fuel. I could not be more satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it

After my champion generator failed to produce power a flawed stator. I researched and came up with my westinghouse 5300. Reviews made this purchase a no brainer 4's and 5's across the board. Actually looking forward to my next power outage so I can run this thru it's paces. I'm happy.

I bought this generator after much Research and I’m very pleased with the way it started and with all the extras that it came with. It’s very well-made easy to put together and everything was in the box ready to be used at once. Very very happy with this product and hope to use it for many years.

We previously owned 3 generators, a Gentron 10,000, a Honda eu3000i, and Honda eu2000. This Wgen 5300c took the place of three and now we only have to maintain 1 power plant, it rins the entire house, the rv, and takes up very little space!!! Thank you Sooo much!

Just received this generator and it is perfect. I see many reviews saying the generator end cover being damaged in shipping however that is just how it looks. The 5300 is perfect to run almost everything in our house. Finally looking forward to our next power outage LOL!

The generator is well built and even has a nice solid wheel axle pin. The gas gauge feature will come in handy. The e-z start instructions label on top with the fuel capacity on the gas tank cap will come in handy if I need a helper that never has used the generator to assist. It is a good size for the power it delivers. I can only give 4 stars so far because I have not yet used it for the purpose I bought it for but I wanted to submit a review for the generator cover.

Bought this as back-up power in the event of power outage. We followed the instructions to quickly attach the wheels & handles. The oil was provided in the box, so added that and gas and she started right up. It has a battery for electric start, which makes it all the more easy to start. Happy with it so far!

I have never purchased a generator before. The packaging was excellent. The instructions were thorough and clear. It was easy to set up, run for an hour, and then try it. The generator worked great and the two wheels on the dolly made it easy for me to move it on both paved and shell driveways.
