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 bought this unit only a few days ago, was an easy setup process to do. I ran the unit for 1 hour under load and had no issues. This is a great light compact unit reasonably priced for the intended use for emergency use for me. I would say one improvement for future thought if the handle to transport could have a latch to make it able to pull or push unit, for pushing the handle does not stay in the upright position.

A long overdue purchase for hurricane season. I had it shipped to my home, and it arrived damage free. I chose my WGen5300V for its Wattage, and Warranty. The price was sweet, and I love the color also lol. Set up was no problem. Putting on the wheels and rubber feet was simple. I LOVE the threaded oil funnel! The supplied spark plug tool and wrench in a pouch are a nice touch. It has the look and feel of a sturdy, quality piece of equipment. It started right up, and ran flawlessly on it's unloaded first break-in hour. It is not whisper quiet, but is not any louder than any other small generator. It sounds nice too me. I love the overhead valve engine. The second part of the break-in was also uneventful. I used my 1200w smoker to vary the load, and keep under 50% as recommended. I hope I never have to use it out of necessity, but I know it will easily handle my fridge, chest freezer, tv and fans. Also, coffee pot, and micro as needed. It gives me peace of mind knowing that up to a week or two without grid power, will be less miserable now with my WGen5300v. John

I booth this 3 days ago, let me tell I have never been so happier of buying something in my life. This Generator has been able to run my refrigerator and window unit like nothing! I have use it for 1 day and night and has satisfied our family needs!! Thank you Westinghouse for making awesome generator that’s very affordable 🫡

Bought this in the PNW for the frequent power outages in our wooded area. I'm connecting to a transfer switch to our home, but taking the alternator cover off to remove the jumper wire (per the instructions, which are well-written!) was a challenge. It was stuck on there pretty good. Ended up scratching it a bit. Other than that, I am happy with it. May update this review once it's gets more use!

Needed a reliable portable generator for our LQ horse trailer as the onboard one quits when it's too hot. Living in AZ having an AC is crucial when traveling. Generator is lightweight to allow for portability but strong enough to power what is needed in the horse trailer.

This was purchased a couple of months ago. Settled on this after many positive reviews. Easy to set up, good instructions in the manual as well as many stickers on the generator. Started up with ease and supplied power as we tested it with the electrician.

With just a little work, this was ready to go as soon as the box opens. Love the different amp options, the long run time of 14.5 hours, the carbon monoxide sensor, and the peace of mind this machine offers. This is more than enough to run our essential items when (not if) the power is cut off because of inclement weather.

After using this product, I am convinced that I made the correct decision based off extent research and product review. If you are reading this, I would advise you to take the time to research your needs or wants and make a purchase. I am a proud owner of a Westinghouse 5300CV generator. Don't miss out on a good deal and fantastic product.

We just received our new WGen5300v. Everything seems to run well. I will know more when the power goes out for a day or more. We bought it for the price and the hours it says it will run ( 13.5) without having to refill every 3 hours like our old one. I gave 4 stars since we have not used it for a long period of time as of yet.
