This is my second purchase, first was a 9500 running watts gen for my house . bought 2 smaller wattage this time, one for my wife and the other for my side piece house. might buy another 2 in the future .very nice generators, best power and efficiency on this category for the money . good day

This is one of 4 generators that I own, two very popular Mfg. I purchased the Generator to run a 3 HP compressor for a remodel, absolutely no issues, never tripped. Given the performance of my Westinghouse Generator, I am ranking it as the best one I have. Lastly, I would highly recommend Westinghouse Generators if you are looking for performance.

I bought this Westinghouse Generator a month ago and after looking at all the competitors this Generator fits my needs. We live in a hurricane state and this will provide our home with the ample power to my essential appliances. Refrigerator, freezer and floor fan. A quiet efficient power source that gives us piece of mind.

I bought this generator for home backup power and am very impressed with the quality. The generator arrived promptly and in good shape. Assembly is a breeze and the oil needed comes with the generator. The oil funnel included makes adding oil easy and mess free. After assembly I started it, which only took one pull on the cord. After following the break-in instructions, I load tested my generator and everything works as it should. The data center display is very clear and helpful, especially for the maintenance reminders. I also appreciate the manual being well made, with good information clearly laid out. Anyone who's dealt with poorly written or vague manuals will know how wonderful a good manual is. This generator has the quality you would expect from Westinghouse and I expect to have this product for many years to come.

I bought this generator as a backup in case a storm or some other event caused a power outage in my area. The instructions to mount the wheels were easy to follow and once I serviced the oil and filled it with a couple gallons of gas it started right away; and I did have to purchase a power cable to transfer electricity to my house, that would be my only criticism; the cable should have been included.

its perfect for our family.We live in texas and we lose power couple times a year.its perfect for unpredictable power outages.easy to use.i learned how to hook it up myself so when my husband is away i can do it on my own.its not too loud either.we used it for a while to see how it works.Im really happy with my purchase!

Had a smaller version of the Westinghouse generator prior to this one (3600v). The 5300 is powerful enough to run my dryer, whereas the smaller one was not. The included wheels and pull handle are definitely a plus since it was kind of a pain to move the smaller one without them. Also the feet and wheels keep the 5300 from having the frame sit directly on the ground, so that keeps it out of the rain/snow. I use this as auxiliary power for an off-grid cabin. It has enough power to run a refrigerator, chest freezer, washer & dryer (LP gas), lights and water pump. The 3600 only had enough power to run some things - not everything at once (and not the dryer at all). Works great for my application, and I believe it would be a good choice for an RV or emergency power application as well. Only drawbacks vs the smaller version is that it burns more fuel (approx. one 4.7 gal. tank to power the above mentioned devices for about 12 hours) and it is a bit louder while running.

Just received on Dec 7, 2020. Easy directions. Neighbor helped me get wheels on and put in oil and gas. Started up immediately. One small dent in frame on the generator but it works just fine. Have not had to use it yet because of power outage but am very confident that the generator will work fine in my time of need. Thank you for a great product.

I have never purchased a generator before. The packaging was excellent. The instructions were thorough and clear. It was easy to set up, run for an hour, and then try it. The generator worked great and the two wheels on the dolly made it easy for me to move it on both paved and shell driveways.

Westinghouse makes an awesome generator. I just purchased a WGen5300s portable generator and I’m very pleased. It took only some minor assembly to get it fired up. The generator is more compact, quieter and easier to start than my 5000 watt Coleman generator. I was also pleased with Westinghouse customer service when calling with questions regarding product registration and technical information. The generator also has a great residential 3 year warranty and lifetime technical support. Thanks!
