GENERATOR EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS

In anticipation of possible hurricanes coming to Florida, we purchased the Westinghouse WGen5300cv generator. It was simple to start, and instructions on preparing it for use were straightforward. The generator started on the first try. Very impressed, and while I don't look forward to ever using it, I am glad we bought it.

It worked for almost an hour

I bought this for a "just in case" to supply partial power to the house. Well, the hurricane hit and we lost power. Plugged in the generator and all was well for about an hour, then it stopped producing electricity. Engine runs fine, but no electricity. Now the warrantee is over and I get to buy another generator because I can't fiind anyone to fix it.

Lightweight compared to older generators

Much easier to move from the shed to the porch when needed. Set-up manual could be a bit more informative, such as the amount of oil to initially put in. Using the entire bottle provided actually was a bit too much oil and I initially couldn't get it started. However customer service was very helpful in trouble-shooting and resolving the problem.

Something you hope to never need...

but something you'll be so glad to own when you do need it. This is a solidly built, well-constructed piece of equipment that is sure to do the job. The set-up manual is easy to navigate. After prepping for a trial run the generator fired right up with less than a full pull. It ran smoothly and efficiently during the hour long test run. The gauges are helpful and the ops. panel hosts many features. Like I said, you hope never to need one, but you'll be glad this is ready to use when you do. Also, if you like the color blue - this is the one!

Great features

I just bought this to keep one room comfortable with AC if power outage from a hurricane happens. It is very nice and alot of features. I am a 62 yr old woman and love that it has a push button start. I live in Florida and the heat is unbearable during summer months. I have lost power in the past and l lost all food in refrigerator. Trying to be prepared for any outages in future.

Great features

We purchased this for my 92 year old father. We felt the electric start would be better than pulling a cord. So far we’ve had it running and it seems to work well. The power hasn’t been out so we haven’t put it to the true test but so far we’re happy with it

Lots of shipping problems

You best open up the box before buying this because mine came with a broken air filter housing and bent muffler grill cover. Also the container of oil got punctured and was all over the inside of the box. Price was ok, that’s why I bought it, but I didn’t expect so many problems. Warranty department promised me that they would ship out the replacement parts soon, but who knows when that is? I have 30 days to return it if not satisfied, so I’ll give it till then. I’ll update after I get parts and see if it starts

Great Generator for Camper!

Bought the WGen5300v to supplement power for our camper trailer. The generator worked great, however, came with a broken choke spring. Customer service is working the issue. There were no problems starting it up, connecting to the 30Amp line, and starting up the air conditioner and other outlets.

Disappointed Bob
3 out of 5 stars review

Just started this generator a few times.

I only recently bought and started this generator. Although it seems to run fine, I'm very disappointed in how many times I had to manually pull the start mechanism chord. In the 5 times that I started it, it took from 4 to 8 pulls to start. That's a problem and not good enough. As for the Average rating I gave, it's much too early in my usage of this generator to really give any rating.
