Bought this over a month ago and use it daily. We went away for a weekend and didn’t use it with us but when we came back the generator wouldn’t start. It required us to use another generator to charge the battery for it to start. (Battery drained with no use.) The remote start is convenient but you still have to charge the remote as it does die quickly. Guzzles a lot of gas and idles high. I don’t recommend this generator.

I am a senior widow woman. I needed something with ease so I can do this myself. I found this self start with a remote to boot! Did not even know they made them. It has no flat tires. One of the few that has rubber covers to go over all of the plugs. I think for a senior it is perfect!

I ordered this generator about a month before our first storm hit. We live in Maine and we can lose power for a decent period of time. Wow, what a lifesaver. I had filled it with oil and ran it for the hour without a load. When the storm hit we were ready. The generator had to run for almost 3 straight days. It ran our tv, small fridge, sump pump and basic lights. We also were able to switch from our sump pump to well jet pump when needed. This product was exceptional. Ran without a hitch and provided the power we needed, for an extended period of time. We allowed a few cooldown periods to refuel and were right back to having power.

While this is heavy, rolls easily on the wheels furnished. While this is a complex machine, the instructions are very clear and understandable. Very simple to start. I use it to furnish power to a small building, as needed. In order to meet code, please have a certified electrician hook this generator to a building. A detachable hook-up cord does not come with the generator.

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.

I ordered this generator during an ice storm. Purchased on a Thursday and received it Monday. Power was restored before it arrived but super fast shipping. Box was undamaged and came with everything it said it would. Even comes with a wheel kit which is a huge bonus. Hopefully I don’t need this for a power outage during an ice storm but I’m sure it will live up to its promise. Cheap enough to not break the break but good enough to do what needs done. Happy with purchase

I bought this WGen5300v to replace a smaller Predator generator now that I have an interlock on my home electrical panel with an exterior 30A plug. Now I’ll be able to use a few more items in the house if and when we lose power during the winter months. Easy assembly. Great features.

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.

In 2020 I purchased 3 generators (one at a time) to be shipped to me. Each one had either manufacturing or shipping defects. So I was a little wary of ordering another one online. BUT THIS TIME IT WORKED !! The generator arrived when promised, assembly was very simple (more so than the 3 previous ones), and I added oil and gas, and on the second pull, I was SOOO HAPPY, AND THE PRICE WAS RIGHT!!

I bought this generator a month ago and I’m so glad I did because it helps us from running cords when we’re working in the backyard plus it will be a lifesaver when the powers out. Running cords to do household remodeling is a pain but with this cute powerful generator it’s perfect. I know it was for us because the blue matches the trim on our house!. The value was great and it’s powerful enough to run our refrigerator when needed. I would recommend everyone gets this product because Westinghouse is still number one in our book.
