After many many hours of online research, this Westinghouse generator won my business. I didn't care about any fancy dual fuel flexibility. Just needed a down-to-earth, gas-burning workhorse that could get my family through any unexpected power outages. 5kw is enough to keep all the essentials on. More powerful generators would've been much bigger and heavier, defeating the whole "portable" aspect. Great product!

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

We just bought it, it was recommended to us by a family member. We chose this one because of electric starting. Wanted duel fuel but it did not come with all 3. Our neighbor was asking about it and told him where we got it. Putting wheels on today. We feel this will work for our needs. Fridge, fan, tv, phone.

The generator is well built and even has a nice solid wheel axle pin. The gas gauge feature will come in handy. The e-z start instructions label on top with the fuel capacity on the gas tank cap will come in handy if I need a helper that never has used the generator to assist. It is a good size for the power it delivers. I can only give 4 stars so far because I have not yet used it for the purpose I bought it for but I wanted to submit a review for the generator cover.

Bought this as back-up power in the event of power outage. We followed the instructions to quickly attach the wheels & handles. The oil was provided in the box, so added that and gas and she started right up. It has a battery for electric start, which makes it all the more easy to start. Happy with it so far!

Badly needed a generator since we live in the 'sticks' and lose power often. After a lot of research, decided on this Westinghouse gas only generator. Easy to add wheels, legs, add included oil and gas. One touch and it started..very quiet compared to older generators. We haven't needed it yet but know we are ready for our next outage!!

From the easy assembly to the electric start feature, this generator is a gem. I had my home electrical panel wired to switch over to a generator in the event of a power failure. I bought this in September 2020, so I was able to set it up under good weather conditions. I ran it for its break in period, then I shut off my home panel and plugged the generator into my home panel. The first thing I fired up inside the house was my oil fired hot water boiler to test my hot water heating system. It handled it like a charm. While that was running I switched on other circuits including 2 refrigerators and a microwave. It handled everything I would want to have should my power go out in the dead of winter. It has 2 30 amp power outlets, one for powering a house and the other for an RV. It also has 2 120v outlets on the generator. These outlets do not have power when the generator is supplying power to the house panel. They do have power when the unit is supplying power to an RV. Overall this generator does what I want it to.

Not off to a good start, everything was fine until I started the generator, started first pull but after turning off the choke it runs erratic. RPM’s go up and down all through break in period of an hour. Called support, said they will call me back lets see how this goes. Will update when I here back their solution.

We bought this generator because of it's many great features - the most horsepower in it's class, the electric start, the reputation of Westinghouse. We live in hurricane territory and need something we can count on for power when needed so we went with this.

I just purchased this generator so I can’t say how it works but it has some great features. I have a boat with a twist lock outlet. I will be able to use it there as well as at home. I really like the electric start switch and the run hours and maintenance schedule display.
