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.

Purchased online for home delivery. It arrived timely. The bottom of the frame was quite noticeably bowed on the end near the muffler and spark arrester. However, it appeared to not interfere with how the generator performed. Time will tell. Everything else looked good to go straight out of the box. Easy assembly for the feet and wheels. Easy to access and fill both oil and gas. Super easy pull start! Looking forward to running many hours on this generator!

The construction and welding of the frame seem solid. But for the first time I put fuel in. Gasoline leaked at the fuel valve. It turned out that there was a crack on fuel hose. Instead of of returning to the store, I replaced the hose. Afterward, generator started up on the first pull. Everything seems to run fine, but so far, I ran the generator for only 1 hour with no load for breaking in.

Great unit able to power most of my house when we loose power. We use our generators a lot since we live in the woods. Unit works well and is fuel efficient. My only complaint about the unit itself is that the oil dip stick is in a strange spot and makes it a bit tricky to fill the oil without making a mess. Unit was damaged with it being shipped, but will works as it should (for now). 5 year warranty helps ease my worries.

I bought this generator to supply power at home for the occasional outage. Large refrigerator freezer, small refrigerator, microwave, internet for phone, and lights. As someone that has worked with machinery and engines most of my adult life, I appreciated the quality, sturdy construction, and fit and finish of this product. I have read the instructions (well written), added the oil and gasoline and proceeded to begin the break-in period. Easy start and runs strong. I have confidence this will meet my future needs

I caught this generator on sale right after the New Year. I had been meaning to get one for some time but held off. Luckily I bought this when I did because it came in two days prior to a major storm that knocked out our power for 12 hours. I put this baby to use right away! Worked great powering our fridge and some entertainment items, with plenty of wattage left over if we needed to plug anything else in. I am so glad I bought this when I did!!! It was super easy to set up (minus some oil funnel issues I had at the start but squared it away quickly) and worked well throughout the outage, providing reliable power where it was needed.

This is the perfect small to mid-sized generator. Great value and all the features I needed to run 2 refrigerators, 2 portable air conditioners and 6 fans and some A/V equipment for 12 hours on a single tank of gas. I almost got the dual fuel for this location and that would have been great too.

I purchased this unit after having lost power for five days during the Texas freeze in February 2020. I wanted something that could easily and efficiently power my refrigerator and deep freeze if the electricity went off again. I enjoy my Westinghouse Pressure Washer so choosing Westinghouse again for our generator made sense. The unit is well built and not too big that my wife couldn't move it around on the wheels if necessary. We hope to never have to use it but know we'll be able to depend on this generator if needed.

Gets the job done! No damage on arrival. Needed for the basics fridge and tv no problem. Being in Southern California wild fires and black outs becoming everyday this w5300v has been up to the task. Sound is tame comes with the basics wheels and oil. Thank you!

After reading the reviews and capabilities of the WGen5300v, I confidently purchased it to have piece of mind for coming severe weather. I know we will have reliable power. I will provide an update on this review after I've actually used the unit
