After a recent power outage that cost me some items from the refrigerator I decided it was time to invest in a generator. After asking friends and co-workers about features to look for and reading reviews on brands and generator types I decided to go with Westinghouse. I felt the WGen5300v was the best value for my needs and budget. It came with a wheel kit, a nearly 5 gal. (4.7) gas tank, easy to follow instructions and is easy to start. I have not needed it for an emergency yet but have no doubts it will provide more than enough power. An added bonus was that the engine (for its size) was not extremely loud.

I bought this mainly for my camper. It has a very convenient outlet for campers so I do not have to use an adapter. I have only used it twice so far but I am very happy with this generator. It runs everything in the camper with no issues. I am also very impressed with how quiet it runs. I have used similar generators in the past but this is the quietest by far. Very happy with this purchase and I have already recommended it to friends.

This generator is a perfect fit for us! Very little assembly is required and,as soon as we added the oil,it started on the first pull! During these trying times,having a good generator is essential when the power is shut off. This year,it has happened too often and we cannot continue without good equipment such as this Westinghouse generator.Thank you!

I bought this product after power outages from a few recent storms. I have two very small children and this gives me relief knowing I can keep electric, heat, or other items running and provide the best for my kids. This is a must buy to reduce panic when power goes out.

I picked up this generator a couple months ago as an emergency back up for house power. I've tested it a couple times (luckily I haven't needed to run my house yet) but it should handle the workout with minimal problem. Tip: Run the generator with some marvel mystery oil and some 30w for about 20min, then drain completely to get any possible metal shavings out of the case.

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.

We bought the generator about one week ago. And the expectations go more than beyond of excellence, quality. The price is awesome in comparison with other brands. The measures are perfect for us and fit to cover all we want in home. ***** I 200% recomend this product.

Ordered this recently to replaced old leaking generator (different brand & less power) that would've cost as much to repair as this one cost new! Easy minor assembly. This has push button start option which is GREAT! The design is better so looks like much of the periodic preventative maintenance will be much easier. And this has enough power to run most of the critical house needs if necessary - including lights, fridge, heat, sump pump, TV, etc (minus the air conditioning & stove if running the other items). Had an electrician install a 30 Amp transfer outlet outside so easy to hook up to all the house power along with a safety transfer switch on inside of electrical box. Electrician tested all the circuits, fuses & lines and everything worked great. Heavier than my last generator (approx135 lbs is approx 103 lbs), but the wide pull handle & slightly larger wheels make it just about the same effort to move around.

Looked for a bit for a generator to meet my needs for remote camping and emergency power. The small physical size of this gen makes it easily stored with no parts to snag on things. Came with all part to assemble which took all of 2 mlm minutes to screw on legs and wheels (which are included). Even came with a funnel and a QR of oil. Shipped quickly and totally satisfied.

I purchased this generator to use for emergency backup of essential circuits in my home. I have a small 1,500SF home and this 5300 watt unit is the perfect size to run my refrigerator, boiler, computer equipment and verizon router, some kitchen appliances and a few lights. I chose it for watt capacity and weight/size. It has a smaller engine than other models and weighs a little over 100 Lbs which is no problem to transport from the garage to a spot in the yard. To have an easy to use backup system, I also installed a Reliance transfer switch (also purchased on Amazon). The unit was well packed and arrived in perfect condition. After installing the wheels and feet, reading the operating manual and putting in some gas and oil, it started right up with the electric start. I've done a pull-the-plug test in my home and everything worked perfectly. I'm ready for another power outage if it comes along. The one negative comment I have is very minor; the graphic on start switch is is mis-labeled - easy enough to deal with. I would definitely recommend this product for someone with a small home and only a few home appliances to run in an emergency.
