The generator instruction manual was very well written and easy to follow. The funnel provided for adding the the oil made this task a breeze and no mess! The generator started on the 2nd pull and the data center made it easy to verify that the generator was producing the correct voltage before I attached it to my power transfer switch. Ran it unloaded for one hour per the instructions and then transferred load to it. Was pleasantly surprised with the relatively low noise level while running loaded.

Opened the Box; followed the easy to understand simple setup instructions. Added Gasoline, and started it right up (Started First Time), no hassles. Have used the generator a couple of times with ease. Would highly recommend purchasing a Westinghouse Generator

My daughter and son-in-law were telling me how pleased they were with their recently purchased 5300SC generator. With the start of hurricane season here, I thought it was a good idea to have one of my own. As I am 96 years young, the electric start feature will definitely come in handy! It is ready to go should it be needed! Thank you. Westinghouse!

I bought this back in May for my mother. She was having yrouble starting the one she had with the pull cord. I bought this electric start and trded her generators. I bought it to hook up to a house=generator transfer switch during power outages. The key fob start is get for not having to go outside to start it up during a storm and the 14.5 hr run time is great for running over night. So far no issuses. Best to kept it covered and out of the elements in a generator shed.

I purchased for powering my home when there is power outage. It seems to fit the bill, I hope not to use it until and outage, not in the awhile. Put it together in no time, hooked up battery, filled with oil provided, and gas. Started right up, and runs well as I break in the engine while not under a load. I also do construction work in areas where there is no power, it runs the equipment with no problem. Saws, compressors, lights all can be used. Light and compact so it is easy to move. construction site.

I bought this generator a month ago. I had very hard time firing the generator and there was a blowing sound. After a lot of attempts, it started to run, but kept shutting off. Besides all these, I should add that this is a powerful device and could light my entire ranch (excluding the electric stove and dryer).

I bought this generator because our power has been going out none stop here in Ca. We absolutely love the many features and the easy use of this generator! Would recommended to anyone who wants a great generator with easy instructions to understand.

Wgen5300s Came on time and was delivered to my front door. I open the carton and put the wheel and feet on it. Some other brands the wheel kit is extra too. This unit came with the battery. Some other brands the battery is extra. Connected the battery. Put the oil in it (IMPORTANT). Came with the needed oil too. Put fresh gas in it and fired it up. Started right off. It has a pull cord, but I used the battery start. GREAT! I connected a 1500 watt heater to it. This generated hardly noticed it at all. Runs smooth.

In Southern California, because of climate change and the fire-storms that trigger conditions to have power cut off, we needed something to get us through those days without breaking the budget. We can live without air conditioning, have a barbeque to cook with a side burner, have flashlights and portable phone chargers, but our refrigerators and freezer were always taking the hit. So, this unit is the vital life support for our two fridges and freezer. At the right price it was a no brainer.

Happy I bought this to run my sump pump when power goes out. The unit was a little damaged when shipped to me which is unfortunate but I don’t think it will cause any issues when I use which is why I didn’t return it. Not sure if it was damage from shipping or manufacturing since metal is bent on the top right.
