I just got hit by a 14-hour power outage. That was my first time putting the generator to test. It performed very well. I have it hooked to a 6-circuit panel running 2 furnaces, my kitchen including all appliances, my family room and 2 bedrooms. I would definitely recommend it.

I bought this after having several power outages. It's perfect to keep the refrigerator and freezer running as well as a fan and lamp. I like that it has a dual fuel option. Easy to assemble and though heavy the wheels and transport handle make it easy to move around.

I have just purchased the WGen5300v generator about two weeks ago. I have cranked it up and ran it for about 15 minutes, plugging in some electrical devices. The unit cranked on the first full and was a little quieter than i anticipated. I first purchased a different brand of generator, but it was damaged in shipping. The wheels and the included oil were just placed loosely in the box and very little protective packaging for the generator. The oil bottle was punctured and the frame was badly warped. Looking at the other brand of generator, it was was of poor quality. Wheels had only a plastic sleeve in the middle where the pin goes through to mount onto the frame and the packaging showed poor quality. The Westinghouse generator had all parts and the oil in a box. Wheels have bearings to turn on, so to me this generator just has a better feel of quality. It how- ever had slight damage to the frame as well, but since it ran well and had no vibration I am not going to return it. I am giving this unit 4 stars because of the damage. I am not sure what these shipping companies are doing to these generators but better packaging needs to be addressed.

I bought this in the summer for this winter to assure that my animals and children including a baby would be kept warm and safe this winter when we loose power. We were extremely disappointed when we discovered that within a minute or less of being started it shuts off. Neighbors tried to help but to no avail, even someone who is good with small engine repairs tried to get it started. They suspect there may be an issue with the carburetor. This is brand new and with all the great reviews we are disappointed to be sitting here without power.

I bought this generator this week and love it. The price point compared to other brands was competitve and has a greater running and peak watt rate. Also love that it is dual gas and propane incase you do not have access to one. The wheels and handle make it very eay to roll around to get into a proper position for powering things up. Would buy again!

I am a senior, retired man in a rural area, in a total electric home. Power goes out at the worst times and I don't like cold and dark. I've not had to use it yet, but I face the winter with no worries, for a change. I don't know of a more reliable name to trust than Westinghouse

Just purchased after looking at numerous other models of this power. Difficult to purchase due to demand. Everything was in the box and the set-up was very simple. Started right away and ran it for an hour moving it to different locations around the outside of my house to check noise inside. Ran smooth and was very quiet. Have yet to attach any appliances so not sure what it will do. Am hopeful.

I bought this in case of power outage at our house. Assembles nicely and has a nice padded handle. The oil filler tool was quite handy as well, although it could have been a liiiitle longer or wider at the opening. Wish it had one or two more 120 outlets, but it starts first pull and runs like a champ.

I bought this 6 weeks ago to help with the regular power outages that occur where I live. I have had the opportunity lately to use it. I took it out of the box prepped it and it started up on the first pull! ...Wow! I never have had a gas engine power tool do that do that! ....Awesome!

A perfect generator for our home use. Plenty of start-up options that enable us to use either a manual or electric start. The size(Watts) handles all of our needs to ensure we stay comfortable during any power outages. It is also mobile enough for me to use while working in and around our barn. I use a lot of power tools and am transforming part of our barn to accommodate my wood shop tools (lathe, table saws etc.) The generator allows me to power them up during this transition time.
