Purchased as a back up generator for storm outages living in the northern rockies. Really enjoy the ease of use and push button start capability. Noise isn't as loud as we thought it'd be, but it definitely helps having a 50ft cord to run the unit behind our garage. Hoping to not use this generator very much but glad we have it to power the essentials in our cabin during an emergency.

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.

We purchased this to replace a Generac 10,000 Watt unit that was just too big and heavy. This Westinghouse generator is compact, easy to maneuver, and has more than enough power. It was easy to assemble and started up on the first push of the starter button after we added oil and gas. Very happy with our purchase!

I purchased the 5300c because of the push and remote start. When I tried it out to make sure it worked ok and it started on 2nd pull. Then tried the push start and it started immediately. Took 1 star off because I bought one earlier in the month and it was heavily damaged on delivery to my home so it had to be returned.

Bought this for emergency use [with occasional use for away from building projects]. Haven't used it a great deal yet so I can't offer insight on reliability or longevity, but it seem to be all I'd hoped it would be for the moment. It is well-made, sturdy and easy to move. Very user-friendly controls with adequate receptacles for middle range power needs. For the price it seems it will well meet my needs!

Product arrived in good condition albeit a few days later than expected. Instructions were clear and assembly (filling crankcase with supplied oil, attaching wheels and rubber feet) was easy. After adding gasoline product started on 2nd pull, ran well (and relatively quietly), and generated electricity on both 5-20R 120V circuits tested. (Didn't test the L14-30R 120/240V or 120V TT-30R outlets yet). Unit is relatively light weight for this size generator and with attached handle and wheels is easy to move and to store.

This generator is a deluxe model compared to my previous generator. With the electric start to begin with! And all of the appliances that it will handle with no problem! Thank Goodness it comes with wheels that you attach to it. It's not a light weight. It can quickly become the heart beat of operating your home. I'm more than satisfied with this upgrade! I feel confident about firing up this 5300s the next time we loose power at my house.

Bought this before the winter hit the mountains. Decided to pick one up based on reviews. Easy to assemble and easy to start up. I had this ready go just in case power went out for the high winds or that once in awhile bad snow storm. Just having this generator gives me peace of mind.

Install wheels and feet with in 10 minutes. Exact amount of oil needed to fill generator no guessing. Funnel and tools needed to get ready to run. Has electric start but the recoil start is smooth and easy to pull start. Please with generator. Highly recommend. Thanks

Full disclosure, I have not used this generator yet. After a TON of research, this seemed to be the best option on the market. All the right hookups in the right quantities, smaller and less heavy than similar products, easy to wheel around, great option for both home back up and rv power. It also has great reviews and was a competitive price at home depot- speed right to my door for free. I can't wait until summer to use it!
