Seems to be a good product however it arrived with damage to the crank cover. It was bent in and I had to pull it out to be able to check the crank. I will be contacting manufacturer to report this and ask for replacement part. I will review further after this request is made.

Quick and careful delivery. Opted for gas only to only handle fridges. Already have a solar/battery 1000w generator for inside. Easy to put together and working great out of the box by following the exact steps in the manual. Breaking it in as I type.

I bought the WGEN5300V about a week ago...it looks well made, compact and easy to use. With all the power outages lately this generator will be a life saver. It starts right away and is quite. The cost of unit is priced well in its category. I plan to get years of use out of it.

My neighbor has one of these. During Hurricane Sally last September, he was able to power so many items n his house. At that time I did not have a generator. He told me I would really regret not getting one. So I purchased it. Upon initial startup, it quickly fired up. I was able to power items quickly. This is going to be a purchase that I will not regret. Thanks Westinghouse.

We bought this to replace an old generator for the upcoming hurricane season and doing yard work far from the house with electric power tools. After the 1 hour unloaded break-in and then 30 minutes using light loads we went up on the roof with 2 large leaf blowers and it handled that easily. Tree pruning, Blowers, EChainsaw, no problem. Very tight power regulation and the unit is quiet enough once you go indoors you can’t hear it running. Comes with tools and the oil fill funnel is a nice touch. Great unit.

When I had purchased this online, I had no idea that it did not come with any power cables. This being the first generator I have ever purchased, I had no idea this was an additional purchase that needed to be made nor which cable I needed to get to go with it!

I just received the shipment and put together today easily. The only issue I would like to share with everyone is that the Electric Start may not work in the first time because the battery does not have power. You have to use Manual Start and let the engine run for a while to charge the battery. I hope the other models may not have such problem. In general, it works when I try today.

This gen is great! It’s built so well well fit and finish are great! Comes with extra tools and a full maintenance manual. This unit also has easy to read instructions and user friendly controls. Full protective cage and beefy handle. So happy with this purchase

The generator started OK the first day. It started up again when I refueled. But after the first day (2 hours running time) I haven't been able to start it. I would have waited until I got a new spark plug (or whatever else needs to be fixed) before writing a review, but they wanted a review as part of registering the warranty.

I bought this Gen 5300 a week ago. I already own a Gen 3600 I bought 2 years ago. Best and most dependable I ever had. Both of these generators always start the first pull of the recoil. The price of both was reasonable and competitive. I would recommend Westinghouse gens to any one. I love that Westinghouse pretexts their hens
