I bought this generator a while back as part of a project to wire my house for electricity in the event of a power outage. I am pleased to say that (with the help of my electrician friend) this generator will allow me to power my entire house, including refrigerator, ductless air conditioner, furnace, and lighting. It has plenty of power and a high capacity gas tank so run time between refueling is a good number of hours. I am quite sure I won't be left in the dark in the event of an outage. It is quite well constructed should be useful for many years.

Bought this Generator after the summer's fires here in Oregon that knocked out our electricity for several days. The 5300S included all the parts that are often extra on other brands. This includes the battery, engine oil, good wheels, and even a quick inline disconnect for the battery. It has all the features that are important. This a generator that is built to last for years.

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.

I bought this for my hunting lease. Last weekend the generator started quickly and worked well the entire weekend. It is perfect for my hunting camp and since it is portable, I can use it again at home in emergencies. I am very pleased with this model.

I bought this generator after a storm knocked out power in my area for 24 hours figured better be prepared for next well just took it out of the box two days ago assembled it put oil and gas in and the thing runs for 30 seconds and dies tried to get her to go multiple times and it just dies i do not recommend the product

I've only had this generator for a week now. Assembly was very easy. Added oil,gas and connected the battery and it started right up. Limited use but it powered a Dewalt circular saw and Dewalt miter saw (as a test) with ease. Seems to be well built and sturdy. This was purchased mainly to operate a sump pump in the event of power outages. My decision to purchase this Westinghouse generator was based on the number of positive reviews from other owners.

This is a really good generator and I am pleased with the purchase. This is our second unit and we use it for power outage. It has enough power for a freezer, 2 fridges, lights, two fans and lasts 9-10 hours on a full gas tank. The noise level is not bad - much better than our old unit. Highly recommended.

I purchased this generator to replace a 20-year-old generator that finally gave up the ghost during the days after Hurricane Helene. I was looking for something that was easier to set up and start as I’m also 20 years older. This unit is more compact, quiet, and simple to start with its electric starter, so easier on my muscles and joints.

I live near a busy intersection where people always seem to get into accidents damaging the transformer near my place. Power cuts out a handful of times a year and I need my meds to stay cold. Bought this to run when that happens and haven't had an issue since.

I was gifted this from a family member to be prepared for the impending hurricane season which they predict is going to be the worst we've seen (I don't know about that!) But nonetheless, I do want to be prepared because Katrina is still burned in my brain, and almost three weeks without electricity.....yeah, not doing that again. I'm so grateful for having this to be safe and comfy if such should happen. Thanks, Sis! :)
