This is my second one .... First one wouldnt stay running took it to repair shop authorizes by Westinghouse they had it for a month couldn't get it to work . Westinghouse sent a new unit fired it up ran great. Put unit away 2 months later have a power failure pulled it out started it ran it for 5 mins plugged in my trailer it stalled and will not restart.

After research and reading reviews, I decided on this to be my first generator. So far, I have been pleased with its performance and ease of use. Fired up with no issues, runs smooth and surprisingly quieter than I expected. Only complaint is the manual hand crank plate was bent in slightly on arrival, but it was a simple fix.

Just bought it have not used it just did a test run and it worked well. It powered our leaf blower and a heater that we used to test. Easy to move around and has a great handle to use to move it. Not fond of the gas cap took a little to get it off but figured it out. The plastic thing they gave us to put the oil in didn't flex very well and was hard to put oil in without spilling it. All in all so far very happy with it.

I purchased the first one and it came with the generator cover smashed like i saw on other reviews. it was strange because the box was not really damaged. I took a chance and ordered another one. The new one came today and it was not damaged. This one did have oil in the box and on the frame of the generator though so i thought maybe the oil they sent had leaked but it did not, must have just been where they drained it from the factory. I put the legs and wheels on (very simple) and oil and gas, started on about the 3rd pull. Seems to run fine, i have high hopes that it will do good. I have not really tried to run anything on it except for a shop vac just to make sure it works. Will test it out a little this weekend though.I like the appearance and the weight. Cant beat the price on this either, hopefully this will be a good purchase.

I purchased this generator within the past two weeks. Although I haven’t run it yet, it appears to be a well made unit. It was exactly what I needed as far as power output and size. The only drawback was when installing the rubber feet, the holes did not line up exactly and it took a little effort to start the bolts to attach. Looking forward to running it and at that point would upgrade to 5 stars depending.

Having had 2 generators cease to work one I needed something to replace them. After a little research this one came up on top. Smaller than what I wanted but still more than i needed. Its not failed me yet and has been already tested beyond what I would call typical use. Straight out of the box had it running for 8 hours with a moderate load. Started first time. Cant ask for more Its early days but I have good feelings about this little trooper.

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.

Great product, easy to put together.. more compact then my old generator plus it has a starter on it which is a lot better than trying to get the generator started with pulling rope. but still does have the puller string as a back-up. I am very pleased overall and my neighbors said it looks great.

This is a well constructed generator. I was not really sure about it at first but once I took it out of the box I was well pleased. I like the option of using gas or propane it allows me to have more fuel and I don't have to keep a bunch of gasoline cans. Also it has a digital gauge to monitor voltage and hertz, and three option plugs(L14 -30R, TT-30R, 5-20R). Finally the ability to move it with the fold down handle and wheels make it easy for anyone to handle it.

Bought this gen as an emergency backup for the house. Unpacked it, added oil and gas and it fires right up. Air filter housing was damaged during shipping but was able to call Westinghouse (on a Sunday and talk to a human!) to get a replacement part.
