What a life saver

I bought this for my wife so she doesn't have to pull a rope. I myself am confined to a wheelchair. So you can imagine the looks I got when my old generator would not start. She loves the push button start. Lets just hope hurricanes stay away, but at least we are ready. (VERY NICE UNIT) .

Ease of operation

this is only second generator ever bought for emergency use. delighted with the manual and instructions. Clear, concise, easy to follow. Pictures could have been a bit larger. I had to go over them, making numbers etc., larger. looking forward to years of great performance.

Versatile generator

I purchased this generator as portable power station for my shed, plus backup for house during power outages. Right out of the box, after filling with oil and gas, I ran and checked out all of the features, everything worked as advertised. I am able to run my power saws and other equipment with no issues. Having the meter reading available for voltage and frequency is helpful. I will be installing my backup 30 amp receptacle for the house and wiring to main panel with interlock switch in a few weeks, so may post a video. So far I am pleased with the purchase, runs quieter than expected.

Compact and very well designed (WGen5300sc)...

Albeit, the oil filler is a bit recessed and the plastic wheels should be bigger with solid rubber for being a portable unit. The handle is NOT in the way of the manual start and is simple and functional to use. The unit is a month old and has been used numerous times without issue. The manual start is relatively easy to operate, but the electric start will quickly spoil you. No need to unplug before operating, as the "22A Breaker", can be used as a transfer switch. While endurance can not be know, it is a name brand. It is basically a very functional unit with good aesthetics and a very reasonable price. Westinghouse's online procedures will definitely infuriate some users.

All around great value

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.

WGen5300sc

I bought this 7/2/2025, arrived 7/8/2025 after 3 day shipper delay. I unpacked, added wheels and footpads, put in oil, connected battery plug. Ready to go in about 20 minutes. Just need to get fuel and should be good to go. It took longer to register product than assembly! Now, if it works as good as it looks... BTW, bought this because of the 240v outlet for my 50amp RV. Standard 120v was not much less $, and others didn't have electric start or wheels. No brainer.

Excellent generator

I purchased this generator as part of my hurricane preparedness kit, and I’m extremely satisfied with its performance and reliability. It started right up out of the box and provides enough power to keep essential appliances running during an outage. The build quality feels solid, great generator all around.

Easy setup

I bought this generator a few weeks ago after losing power in a storm. I was looking for a unit that kept my fridge running and a few lights/fans. It did exactly that and was easy to set up and get started. Easy to maneuver and doesn't take up a lot of room in the garage when it isn't being used!

Quiet and Reliable

I bought this generator a few weeks ago to run my outside well pump and it works great! Well pumps take a large starting wattage and this generator is the perfect size for it. For the size and power, it's surprisingly quiet and has been reliable the few times I've needed to use it!

So far so good, Bonus Gift never received

I’ve owned this unit for a year now and it worked great during a three day outage from a tropical storm in Florida. I was supposed to receive a cover for it, but I never received it. four stars for not receiving my cover after leaving a previous review per direction.
