Nice Generator

No dislikes, Did not run correctly first time I started it. There was a spring on the carb governor that was not connected. I attached it and all is good. runs good and provides plenty of power where I need it. Nice generator at a nice price. Coupled with a transfer switch I can run all but the electric tankless water heater in my house.

Westinghouse Portable Generator Wgen5300SC

Great Product, easy to set up for all family members, not complicated to operate. Very good supply of power, enough to keep critical items energized and avoid losing the capability 100% in a black out. Good to use also in outdoors event!! Very Happy with this purchase

1 min after Engine starts & Generator operates

Started engine within 3-4 pulls & generator operates but after 1 minute engine shut down. No CV sensor indicators, unit is located15 feet from anything, even positioned exhaust downwind. Repeated startup procedure over 10 times. Contacted Customer Support suggestions have not changed operating issue. Could be fuel flow, when I last started with gas-valve off, engine runs for about 1 minute before stopping.

Great Product

I bought this Westinghouse Generator a month ago and after looking at all the competitors this Generator fits my needs. We live in a hurricane state and this will provide our home with the ample power to my essential appliances. Refrigerator, freezer and floor fan. A quiet efficient power source that gives us piece of mind.

So far so good....

We've only had this a month and so far things are going well. It was very easy to put together and get it up and running. I'm glad I read the directions because I almost just stored it away and then realized there is a burn in period, so read the manual. But we are happy with the purchase so far!

Great Value and Performance

The Generator arrived with slight damage from shipping. For the most part, the generator was ready to go from the box. Installed the rubber feet, wheels, and oil very quickly. I was happy that the oil and a funnel was supplied. My model has electric start and came with its own battery that already had a charge. The battery connection is fool proof. Once I added premium fuel, start up was easy. I was not sure what to expect with noise level. This generator is not extremely quiet like an inverter but is much more quiet than other generators of similar power that I've owned and used. My cabin is off the grid and this has provided plenty of power. It has not shown any struggle to power the cabin along with some power tools. No opinion on longevity yet. I just wish this model had a remote start option.

Excellent Generator

I purchased this unit about a month ago and could not be happier. It starts very easy and runs smooth. I especially like the handle for moving the unit as it is sturdy and extends to the right length. I highly recommend purchasing this generator as it is a great value and is very high quality.

Quiet and smaller than I expected.

It's a very good generator. Smaller and quieter than I expected. It arrived quickly. It had simple instructions to follow. It started right up without any trouble. I tested it with a power saw and it works great. It's fairly priced and I think it's a good buy.

Good Unit

Assembly was easy although the hairpin keepers for wheels were missing. I utilized cotter pins instead so no harm no foul. The supplied oil container is sized so you cannot overfill engine crankcase when you change oil! The oil fill funnel was a big plus too. Filled with gas and it started on third pull. Ran two gallons of fuel under load and performed flawlessly!

Westinghouse has been around a while for a reason

Westinghouse has been around a long time for a good reason. Quality product that is affordable. This is my second Westinghouse generator. I have the WH7000E that I use at my home in California and it has worked flawless for the past 5 years plus. This one will be the backup and my travel generator.
