Recent tornadoes in our community motivated me to create a backup power solution in my home. The Westinghouse When 5300V was impressive straight out of the box. Easy start, solid construction and does everything as advertised! Happy about my purchase have recommended to friends!

Just received it , assembly was easy, read the book completely to make sure I understand everything about it, put oil and gas, pull a few times, knowing first start take a few pulls to get gas to the carb. Started great. So far it runs great, haven’t had chance to really use it yet but I will.

After the 2021 snowstorm, I decided to get better prepared for the future blackouts. I've installed a disconnect and an exterior 240V outlet that let me inject the power into the main panel after I disconnect the main breaker and isolate the whole house from city's utilities. A smooth run requires quasi-balanced loads on L1 and L2. The oil inlet could be better designed for easier access, but it is what it is.

I bought this generator to run our garage freezer and refrigerator when we have bad thunderstorms or the occasional ice storm. I am not especially mechanically minded, but the set up instructions were clear and easy. I had it ready to fire up within 15 minutes. It started on the very first pull. I let it run for an hour as recommended and then plugged in the freezer. No problems. It seems to handle everything with ease. I can't comment on durability, as I just got it and have only run it the one time, but it looks and feels to be very sturdy. I've been very pleased.

Bought as a replacement for aPredator model of the same rating. It was much more difficult to pull start and move especially for my wife. knowing that I may not always be available I searched for a more suitable item that she could manage, especially with an elecric start. Your product admirably fit the bill and we are both very pleased with our selection.

We bought this generator about a month ago after some ice storms and power outages hit my area. We haven't had a chance to use it yet, but the ease of assembly and setup was fantastic. It came with the recommended oil so we filled it up, put about a gallon of gas in it, connected the supplied battery and it fired right up. It was still cold so we had to choke it, but it started quickly and ran smoothly. I'm not looking forward to losing power, but I'm glad that we finally have a good electric start generator in case we do.

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.

I recently purchased this generator after a power outage. It arrived promptly and is sturdy as well as attractive. The pull start is quite manageable. Moving it about is made easy by means of large wheels and a sturdy padded handle. The operators manual is clear and quite articulate.

Genset arrived in pristine condition, easy to set up. Very portable and space-efficient for how imposing this bad boy is with well designed handle, very smooth. Most importantly, started right up with fuel and oil check. Surprisingly quiet for the power rating. Transfer switch was an essential feature for me.

We bought this generator 2 weeks ago because we lost power where we live. Great generator after using this one for almost 24 hours! Pretty easy to put the feet & 2 wheels on.. Takes probably 5 minutes to install. We used this generator about 2 hours after buying it had to add oil... Which it comes with & will take the entire bottle & gas. After adding all that & reading the book we let is run about 2 hours before adding any plugs or appliances to the generator. The book says to let it run for up to 25 hours before adding appliances but we crossed out fingers & ran it for 2 hours & worked great. No problems at all with this one. First time buyer & this one is worth it.
