Hello, I bought the when5300cv. It is a beast. Works great and has a lot of power but it too noisy. It is being advertised as running with 68 DB but it actually marks above 80. See measurements attached. The graph shows from 10 feet from the generator up to 25 feet. It starts almost at 87 - 88 and as you move away it drops to 56 around 25 feet. I definitely recommend it but make sure you have plenty of space and extension cord LOL.

Luckily I have only needed to use this one time since I purchased it but it was easy to start and use I have used it several other times just because. When the power went out, working from home was going to be a challenge. But this thing saved the day.

I bought this Generator about three Weeks ago. I found that it was easy to start up and it ran reliably. The Controls are clearly labeled and the Manual is easy to follow. I am glad I bought it and would recommend it to Friends and Family. Nice Job Westinghouse !

Just received my 5300v genny and in short order I had it oiled up and running. Ran like a top during the first hour of break in. Like that it has plenty of power for major appliances during a power outage. Only minor gripe so far is it's a little hard to start requiring several strong pulls. Overall lots of good features and lots of usable power at its price. Don't think you could find a better deal for the money!

This is one of 4 generators that I own, two very popular Mfg. I purchased the Generator to run a 3 HP compressor for a remodel, absolutely no issues, never tripped. Given the performance of my Westinghouse Generator, I am ranking it as the best one I have. Lastly, I would highly recommend Westinghouse Generators if you are looking for performance.

We researched portable generators online, and decided on Westinghouse based on the products rating and company reputation. We have not yet used the generator, and hopefully will not have a storm related power outage that necessitates it. But we are confident that this generator will take care of our needs should the occasion arise. When the product arrived, it was well packed, undamaged and very easy to assemble.

just purchased the Westinghouse wgen5300s generator. Up to this point it is the easiest generator that i have put together and the easiest to break in. i am an 80 year old male and the electric start is a super plus. i am giving it a 9 out of ten only for two reasons. number 1 i wish it had an on off on for the voltage switch so that you could just center off the switch rather that unplugging power cords before shutting down. number two the other thing is the oil plug needs to have a 90 degree elbow pointing away from mounting rail to keep oil from running down the rail. i would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a back up power supply Butch80

I purchased this generator to run my house when we have frequent power outages due to storm damage in Southern Maine. This is simple to use and very user friendly!! I was impressed with fuel efficiency and how quiet it is compared to other generators I have run. The electric start is convenient and again very simple to use!!

Just used this generator over the weekend for about 28 hours straight during our power outage. Let me first say that this generator did not disappoint. Easy prep work for installation of wheels and adding oil. Filling gas to about 5 gallons simple too. Plugged the wire connectors for battery starter w ease. Put choke on and immediately it fired right up! About 2-3 minutes put choke on middle idle for another 2-3 minutes. It was then ready for full throttle run and hook up to house. Got a 30amp outside outlet wired to my panel box so had the plug in cord bought separately. Once house main breaker off I switched panel over to the 30amp power coming from generator. Flipped house breakers for furnace, refrigerator, microwave, room outlets and ceiling lights. This generator could easily handle this power load which was very sufficient running the minimum needed in our house. Added more gas around 13 hours later and again next morning. So in total over 10 gallons plus for 28 hours before power was restored. Very pleased went to bed and woke up not worrying it would run out of gas. Had to turn couple house breakers off to run stove for cooking, but otherwise never needed to push this generator to its limits. I’m extremely happy with this generators performance. The price is right for size and output. Very lightweight when moving on wheels and doesn’t take much space up when storing in garage. No more uneasiness worrying about losing power ever again now that I own this generator. A total must have for homeowners!
