WGen5300c covers all the bases!

Just received my new Westinghouse generator, was delivered in 3 days, super fast shipping. Packed vary well, very easy to set up and get ready to run. Directions were easy to follow. Got it prepared to run, and it fired right up. Had it hooked up to the vacation house in half an hour. Worked great, just what we needed for backup. Would buy again!

Perfect!

After Hurricane Beryl and spending 8 days without power, a rv ready generator was the best purchase we could make. We didn’t replace our old generator which we use in the house for our appliances but added the Westinghouse so we can have air conditioning in our travel trailer during our next power outage. The WGen5300sc is Perfect!

Everything you want and need!

We bought this because we have an older model generator that we're not sure how much longer it'll be around, even though currently it still runs pretty good. But we didn't want to be left in the cold so to speak. One of the best features was the fact that it has the electric start so no more pulling on a cord, Unless you just want to lol! Hubby really loves the muffler system. Great big bonus it has the pug in already on the system to plug in the RV, no adapter needed! We are very happy!

Great!

I've been looking for several months for the right generator to use while traveling in my travel trailer. I haven't been able to use this generator yet but it seems to be a very good one. I especially like that it has a remote start since I have problems with my shoulder and can't have a pull start. I can't wait to use it.

Started right up!

The unit arrived at my door via FedEx. Like some other reviews, upon unboxing found the alternator end cap to be badly dented. Listening for noise while slowly pulling starter, then checking under the cap for any shorts or other damage all was good. Believe the damage occurred prior to being boxed as there was no damage to any of the shipping materials. Filled crankcase with the supplied oil and added recommended gasoline. Turned on fuel supply valve then let sit for a minute to prime the carburetor bowl and check for leaks, all good. Switched on engine control switch and set choke. One slow pull to find TDC, then a solid pull and the unit quickly came to life. Ran unloaded for the recommended one hour break in. At first the frequency regulation was marginal but now seems very good after the break in period. At present have run up to about half load with no issues. Good voltage regulation, no momentary glitches. Noise level is acceptable, not the absolute quietest but definitely much better than some others I have used. All in all believe this generator will work well for my emergency power needs. Will try to add to this review when I get a chance to really slam it!

better than I thought it would be.

bought as we are approaching hurricane season here in SW Louisiana to supplement a smaller generator. I was pleasantly surprised by the way the equipment was packaged and required minimal assembly. The tool necessary to assemble, one open end wrench was supplied. Less than 45 minutes after it arrived , I had it full of oil (supplied oil and funnel) and running.I have confidence that the generator I bought will handle my needs should we have a hurricane.

Great Features and Easy setup

First of all the generator was delivered in superb condition. Not a scratch. I bought this generator for a limited house backup to power several freezers and refrigerators in case of an electrical outage. Also plan on using generator at remote fishing camp. The outlets on this generator will supply everything I need to power my electrical needs in case of a power outage. The Data center is also a bonus. With one exception, this generator was very easy to setup. The oil fill was the most difficult. The funnel provided helped tremendously. After the setup, the generator started right up using the electric and hand start. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Easy setup

Great packaging, easy to follow instructions for unpacking. (use the cardboard sides of the generator box for a works surface) Unpacked the wheel kit and installing the wheel kit took about 20 minutes (took a few minutes to locate where the mounting feet attached to the frame) Added oil - the tip of the funnel screws in the neck of the oil filler for a nice tight connection. Uses all of the oil supplied, poor very slowly and have a rag to clean up … Added gas. stabilizer and connected the battery charger. From unpacking to this point took about 45 minutes.

Best insurance I've ever bought

I am a senior, retired man in a rural area, in a total electric home. Power goes out at the worst times and I don't like cold and dark. I've not had to use it yet, but I face the winter with no worries, for a change. I don't know of a more reliable name to trust than Westinghouse

Does it all!

Fabulous! Unpacked and running in less than 30 minutes. Started on first pull. Handle and 2 rear wheels easily maneuverable. So easy my wife started parking it while I was still admiring it. I like the gas gauge and easy to read starting instructions right where you are looking.
