In 2020 I purchased 3 generators (one at a time) to be shipped to me. Each one had either manufacturing or shipping defects. So I was a little wary of ordering another one online. BUT THIS TIME IT WORKED !! The generator arrived when promised, assembly was very simple (more so than the 3 previous ones), and I added oil and gas, and on the second pull, I was SOOO HAPPY, AND THE PRICE WAS RIGHT!!

After several weeks of research I decided on the WGen5300c. It has all the features I was looking for at a price I could afford. It has enough power to run everything I need, it.is light enough to move around fairly easily and it is surprisingly quite for an open frame generator. I unboxed it, set it up per the directions and it started right up. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.

I have been shopping for a 5K generator for over a month and looked at several brands and models. The Westinghouse WGen series are by far some of the most well built I've seen. I bought the WGen5300sc. Put oil and gas in it, I started on the second pull. The frame construction is heavy duty. The components are mounted securely and the wiring is neat and tidy. Overall it shows great craftsmanship. While I've not used it much the craftsmanship of the generator leaves me confident it is a dependable unit.

I bought this generator after much Research and I’m very pleased with the way it started and with all the extras that it came with. It’s very well-made easy to put together and everything was in the box ready to be used at once. Very very happy with this product and hope to use it for many years.

What I like: Love the remote and push-button start! Really impressed with the design - everything is well thought out and well made. Generator runs smooth once warmed up and auto-choke turns off. The included oil-fill spout (screws into oil inlet) is a nice accessory. Manual and operation instructions are very well written. What could be better: Manual choke lever is a bit small, somewhat tucked away and not easy to find first time especially in the dark. No information is provided for battery trickle charger that is included.

Just got it in, only 4 days after I ordered it. It has a good looking finish and I like the way it looks. It started on the second pull and I didn’t use the choke! It comes almost completely together out of the box, just need to install the wheels and feet, and add the oil which is included. It is not too loud, and I like that the handle folds down out of the way. It’s a little smaller in dimensions than my older Generac, which I now gave to my youngest son. (I have no complaints about the old one, I hadn’t ran it since Hurricane Ida 2.5 years ago, and it started on the first pull, again! And I purchased it about 35 years ago) I just wanted to update with a new generator and I think I will be satisfied with this one! This one feels a little lighter than the other one also. ( I am not as old as I used to be!) I really like that it has a power breaker switch that shuts off the power to the receptacles even while the engine is running. It also has a switch that allows you to switch from 220v to 120v. We are not looking forward to another power outage, but at least we feel better about having a new power supply!

I have purchased this generator for house power backup. I like the quality of the generator and features, as electronic table which provides useful information. Ergonomic is good. But I spent some time trying to figure out how to check the oil level until I found that meter is located on the oil lid. I wish generator was less loud. :-)

Got this in preparation for the coming dark winter, the globalist's great reset, agenda 21, civil war, UN takeover etc.... Should be enough to power some heaters, and even has 220v to get the hot water tank going. It's a great size, packs a lot of punch for something that isn't too difficult to get around.

Like many other reviews, my units frame and alternator cover were damaged in transit. I had to take the cover off and bend it back into shape. The cardboard box it comes in doesn't protect the ends of the unit at all. Other than that it works well and is surprisingly quiet.

Just bought it have not used it just did a test run and it worked well. It powered our leaf blower and a heater that we used to test. Easy to move around and has a great handle to use to move it. Not fond of the gas cap took a little to get it off but figured it out. The plastic thing they gave us to put the oil in didn't flex very well and was hard to put oil in without spilling it. All in all so far very happy with it.
