Beautiful machine, great quality build, my favorite part is how compact this generator is, it fits in the bed of my truck with the cover over the bed and has more than enough power to operate our jack hammer on the job or our house in a storm. 10/10!

Arrival as promised. No problems with getting out of the box. Battery started the unit very quickly and easily. I do a monthly start up and have not had to use the product during outages. (no outages so far here)... Very happy with the push button start.

I purchased on line after reviewing several generators. This model best meets our needs. It was packed securely; came with detailed instructions and was very easy to set up. I added oil (provided) gassed it up and with a push of a button it started up. Very pleased. Also appreciate the safety features. Great product.

I got this generator as a gift and it has worked great for odd jobs I need to get done and it runs the whole house when the power goes out! I love the push button start so no more hand cranking anything. This is a great generator and I would highly recommend this product.

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 needed a new generator for the occasional power outages in my rural locale. I bought this generator because of its good combination of compact size to power ratio and because of the electric start (with recoil backup) that would make my life easier.

just arrived and start up was a breeze. adding oil is a little messy and the oil drain plug is not in a good location as it drains on the frame and rubber feet. there is an issue however with packaging, with the wheel kit rubbing against the alternator cover and it gets damaged, not good. you spend money on a new item and you want it to be pristine out of the box! other than that it is well worth the money. being without power is not fun, and if it's extended like it was for me last year (19) -- expensive.

Just received my new Westinghouse generator, was delivered in 3 days, super fast shipping. Packed vary well, very easy to set up and get ready to run. Directions were easy to follow. Got it prepared to run, and it fired right up. Had it hooked up to the vacation house in half an hour. Worked great, just what we needed for backup. Would buy again!

The unit arrived at my door via FedEx. Like some other reviews, upon unboxing found the alternator end cap to be badly dented. Listening for noise while slowly pulling starter, then checking under the cap for any shorts or other damage all was good. Believe the damage occurred prior to being boxed as there was no damage to any of the shipping materials. Filled crankcase with the supplied oil and added recommended gasoline. Turned on fuel supply valve then let sit for a minute to prime the carburetor bowl and check for leaks, all good. Switched on engine control switch and set choke. One slow pull to find TDC, then a solid pull and the unit quickly came to life. Ran unloaded for the recommended one hour break in. At first the frequency regulation was marginal but now seems very good after the break in period. At present have run up to about half load with no issues. Good voltage regulation, no momentary glitches. Noise level is acceptable, not the absolute quietest but definitely much better than some others I have used. All in all believe this generator will work well for my emergency power needs. Will try to add to this review when I get a chance to really slam it!

After getting it all unboxed and oil put in I hooked up my propane tank and pulled maybe three times and ran for hours flawlessly has great features to it and it doesn't run to loud for this type on gen very pleased powered everything in my camper as it should have.
