As a female who is not very good at mechanical stuff, I would say this is fairly straightforward and so far so good. Assembly was easy although the model is hard to move until you get the wheels on. Adding oil is easy enough although the place to add the oil is kind of recessed and you will have to be careful to not strip the threads on the plastic funnel. Start up with the electric start was easy. The generator is loud but I believe they all are. I haven't used it yet in an actual power outage but this should have plenty of wattage to handle my frig, a few lights and my microwave. I will probably have to turn off the electric water heater but that 's okay. I do like that the box gives you the approx. wattage for different appliances. We have frequent power outages so I am excited to use this product.

Bought this for storm season, have yet to get the chance to start it up but it looks great and should power all of my needs. Went thru the machine and everything looks to be in order. Not too heavy for portability compared to other machines iv dealt with, great ergos with the fold up handle and compact design for what it is. The plug covers are a nice addition, wheels are of good quality as well as the rubber feet, welds on frame look sturdy. Quite happy with this purchase.

I bought this generator WGen5300cv 9/4/22 preparing for hurricane season not thinking I would use it, well I was wrong we got hit with Hurricane Ian Cat-4 150mph winds and storm surge, the day after the storm we fueled up gave it the first crank and the assembly that recoils the rope broke. Just one use and it was inoperable, we called Westinghouse they took my information only to be told that someone would call, after this massive devastation we needed our generator to work and no one at Westinghouse CSR cared, called again only to be told someone would call. Crappy product, crappy service, I will never buy another Westinghouse Generator. I do want the company to honor their warranty, either replace or repair my unit.

After a winter power outage, we needed a portable generator. Our Westinghouse generator had all the features we needed in case of an emergency. The setup instructions were easy to follow. The generator started up immediately. We are ready for the next power outage.

We just bought this and haven’t had chance to use it yet. My son assembled it easily enough. I found it to be just as advertised. I hope we don't have to use it too soon, but if we do have a power outage, I have no doubt that it will provide what we expect with the 5300 running watts. I stressed about power outages every time a bad storm was coming, but now will be at east knowing we have the Westinghouse Generator.

Opened the Box; followed the easy to understand simple setup instructions. Added Gasoline, and started it right up (Started First Time), no hassles. Have used the generator a couple of times with ease. Would highly recommend purchasing a Westinghouse Generator

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!

I had to pull-start the generator. I let it run for a while, and then it started with the electric start. I let it stand for a day and went to start it, but the battery would not start the engine. I was very disappointed. It is a bit quieter than the one I replaced and it doesn't seem to overload.

Just bought it have not used it just did a test run and it worked well. It powered our leaf blower and a heater that we used to test. Easy to move around and has a great handle to use to move it. Not fond of the gas cap took a little to get it off but figured it out. The plastic thing they gave us to put the oil in didn't flex very well and was hard to put oil in without spilling it. All in all so far very happy with it.

Good features such as outlets for transfer switch and RV. Good amount of power to run all household appliances and easy to move around on the supplied wheels. A couple minor issues, could use additional regular 120v outlets and power could be cleaner, specs in manual mention <23% THD.
