I bought this because I purchased my first home and i live in a area prone to bad weather and hurricanes. I first used this product for hurricane isaias. It lasted me till the power came back on i used for appliances like the refrigerator and stuff and to power lights and the tv and some fans. The instructions are very helpful if you dont know what you are doing i am only 25 and dont know alot about small engines and i did not have trouble other then it took a couple pulls to start it at first. It also came with tools and some oil which was helpful.

This was very easy to assemble and even came with the oil. Putting on the wheels and supports took less than 15 minutes. I put the gas in and with the choke on, the generator started right up. I let it run for an hour to break it in. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Over the past year we've been losing power a lot. The last time it was out for 11 hours, long enough for the house to get cold. I thought I should get a generator especially for my aged mother-in-law lives in the first floor apartment. When I saw the Westinghouse generator I felt it was a good "insurance policy" for the money. since I trust the Westinghouse name, I jumped on it.

Ordered my generator for an upcoming event where I will be needing power for my deep fryer. I have yet to try out the generator itself, but the set up was easy for the wheels (which means easy transport) and the user manual is extremely helpful and clear on instructions. The whole machine feels durable and strong.

We bought this Westinghouse generator because we live in FL and we lived thru Hurricane Ian but had to borrow a friends generator for two weeks, as we’d lost power. We decided that it was time to purchase one for ourselves and we did our research and checked reviews. This generator got the best reviews and had all the features we needed. Now, we hope that we don’t have to use it, but at least we have piece of mind!

This Generator was so easy to setup. Started right up and runs smooth. Has enough power to run everything we need for our home and family incase of a power outage. Easy to relocate with the wheels. Not to mention looks really good. Gives my family and myself peace of mind.

After a lot of research, I decided to go with the 5300v. The unit arrived sooner than I expected. It fired up on the second crank and ran smoothly for the break in period. I started it up two weeks later and it fired on the first pull. This will provide more than enough power to run the necessities in case of power outage.

As a lifelong mechanic and 25 yr. aircraft mechanic, initial build and first 5 hr. run while attempting to energize two RV's were quite successful. Quality rubber mounting system for shock absorption. Very neat, well engineered and appears very solidly built. For the money, it provides a great cost ratio for the wattage it provides. Appears to be a very good purchase after a month of reading endless reviews and opinions and plenty of math...

Bought the Wgen5300v just over 3 weeks ago. We built a new home and when it came time to get electricity. We had to wait ten days for a rep from the company to survey our site and give us a price and time line. The time line turned out to be 8 to 10 weeks minimum. This generator is powering our home until then. Despite running constantly and technically being asked to do more than it should, it handles it all without a hitch. Thank you for making such a quality product.

I bought this generator this week and love it. The price point compared to other brands was competitve and has a greater running and peak watt rate. Also love that it is dual gas and propane incase you do not have access to one. The wheels and handle make it very eay to roll around to get into a proper position for powering things up. Would buy again!
