The generator is compact, well designed and reasonably easy to move around. Assembly was a snap as the unit can be rolled over (with no oil, etc.) on surrounding protective bars allowing wheel kit installation. Test run proved excellent. Bring on the next power failure!

I bought this after recent power outages. The old generator had a pull cord only and I was not able to use it. I had to rely on neighbors and family to start it. With this new generator and the electric start, I'll be able to take care of things myself.

After 2 hurricanes in less than a month, I felt I needed reliable backup power. This was a snap to setup. The pushbutton with remote is a great feature. Started first time and every time since. Great generator to keep the lights on and the refrigerator/freezers cold. I feel a lot better about facing future storms. Great job Westinghouse!

I bought this generator to replace a 15 yr old one that died just before our last power outage.Great instructions on assembly and operation, the only problem I had was the two nuts welded to the frame on the choke side were not lined up with the holes in the frame causing the bolts holding the foot on that side to cross thread( I was afraid I was going to break the bolts) but they eventually seated.Otherwise I would have given 5 stars. Started right up and after adjusting the choke it purred like a kitten ( my old one roared like a lion). I'm now ready for the next power outage up here in the cold northeast.

I am sooo excited about this Westinghouse WGEN5300V generator purchase. I bought a home here in Florida a few years back and fortunately there have been no serious hurricanes (power outages). If and when they come and I am ready! This generator is a perfect size for mobility by a mere female. I hope I never have to use it!

I purchased this Generator on 9/1/2023. I’ve only had to use it once (for 3 days) and was very impressed. It powered my Refrigerator, A/C unit, Furnace, 70 inch TV, several outlets and lights. I highly recommend this product. It powered all the necessities in my 1500 sq. ft. house.

Bought this generator to help out in case we lose power again in the winter. So far it seems to run well. Haven't hooked it up to the house or ran necessary items yet, so I can't give a full 5 stars yet. But so far I have no reason to think it will give me any trouble!

The cap on the motor, where the pulling cord is was bent during shipping. But other than that it starts and it works. My only concern is that the engine seems to stutter during the run, but the voltage output remains steady. I hope it is nothing serious.

The generator was easily assembled and started right up using the recoil starter. The generator holds a load and the electrician will install it today on the house transfer switch. I bought the 5300s because it has electric start and unfortunately the battery was dead on arrival. Working to resolve issue.

I bought this generator based on the recommendation of a friend who also purchased one. It was easy to set up and after putting in the oil and fuel was able to start it after two pulls of the cord. I haven't had to use it yet but I'm quite confident it will serve my needs when required.
