I purchased this item due to the many storms in my area that causes power outages. As I am elderly and live alone, this item seemed ideal due to the size and the apparent ease in getting it started with the push of a button. I love the features on it also.

I bought this for Western NY power outages. My electric goes out frequently where I live due to strong winds, heavy snow and drunk drivers hitting poles! Well, an occasional misfit city flatlander shooting aimlessly into the dark and hitting power lines can't be ruled out either... Product even comes with a manual for easy to understand instructions for delinquents such as my neighbor who no longer drives.

Bought to replace my worn out Coleman generator that was 20 years old. This one has lots of bells and whistles my old one didn't have. Love the fuel gauge and readout of the volts, kw, and other info. Easy to start and so far runs great. Only had a few days but if as good as my Westinghouse pressure washer, should last a long time. So far very impressed.

Purchased the WGen5300 for this coming winter. The set-up/instructions were easy. Once all oiled and fueled, it took one push of the button for it to start. Simple instructions to pair the remote to the generator. “Looking forward” to use it when the power goes out.

Living through hurricanes without a generator can be difficult and stressful, if you live in areas where they can knock power out for weeks at a time, you need a generator. I picked this generator because of the name and price point, a Black Friday purchase. I can power the necessities in my house with this generator, we are now prepared for the weather come what may. It was easy to set up, too.

This generator was the highest power generator that I could find in this price range -- the best bang for your buck. It not only comes with a handle and wheels, is easy to operate, and has a battery for electric start (in addition to the manual start option).

This generator has everything you need to operate Items to your needs and to maintain the unit to keep it running for many years. I received the unit via UPS and after assembling the unit with a few items such as the wheel, mounting feet, oil and gas I connected the battery and the unit started right up and ran smoothly. I found the unit to run much quieter then I expected. Remember folks to run the unit for 1 hour with no load (nothing plugged into it) this is an important step in the break in of the generators gas motor. I'm very happy with my purchace.

So i bought this due to losing power iv used it nonestop and has giving me no problems the price was great in my opinion looked into company and saw they stand behind there product and i like that and they have ben around for a very long long time happy overall thanks westinghouse.

Generator and parts arrived in excellent condition. Easy to assemble. Generator started easily. Needed to change plug from my services, very easily done. After reading directions (many times), Voltage Selector switch needed to be set on 240 volts to operate on my service, thinking it had only to be on 120 volts. Contacted my electrician and he verified setting was correct because he had installed same generator earlier.

I purchased this for emergency use. After looking at several different brands, models and prices, I decided to buy this one. I am happy that all I needed to assemble the legs and wheels. I find this to be very well constructed. For my trial run I started the generator up (easily), plugged in a 50ft. extension cord, plugged in my table saw and drill press, RAN GREAT! I am pleased.
