Have not had a real chance to use the machine yet. We bought it because of the electric start feature, having wheels and a lot of features that seem to be advantageous for older people in moving it from one place to another and being smaller in size. I was impressed with the reviews and videos on this product.

I purchased this item because I'm working on a shed an needed power. it started up right out of box on first pull i was shocked. but after running for awhile i turned off and tried to restart an nothing then i read book and it said, that if it was warmed up i didn't need to have choke on when i turned off choke it started right up. WOW was so happy didn't have to stress out over this.

I just bought this generator. After looking for months I settled on the Westinghouse W5300 SC. The power is great, and it is lightweight for a generator. It will serve its purpose. Easy to set up. Fast shipping. No damage to the generator at all. I will start it up later this week.

Bought a month ago, just now getting it out of its packaging, and noticed damage on the pull start cover.. it was actually pushed in preventing starting.. prying it out with a screwdriver, gonna contact manufacturer to request a replacement part..in the meantime working great.. love the electric remote start..

Bought this during the winter and just assembled and started. Easy assembly. Everything is included to get the generator assembled and running. Product quality is fantastic and the features are outstanding. Electric start is wonderful. Meter and fuel gauge are easy to read. I installed a transfer switch and purchased a 100' 30 Amp cord to run frig, gas stove freezer, furnace, Internet, and one room with computers etc. Overall much better quality, fit and finish than my previous generator. Highly recommend the WGen line of generators!

I purchased this generator to use for my 30 foot 5th wheel camper. It works perfectly and love the easy start button. Have ran it for 10 hours straight with no problems. Fairly quiet and runs smooth. Perfect size and easy to pull around with the wheels

I bought this just over a week ago, had an issue with the oil dipstick that I can't seem to get resolved. I have talked to a person (after a long wait on hold) and sent e-mails, still have no resolution to this minor issue. This part must be the least expensive on the whole unit, yet I can't seem to get satisfaction!

When I am able to move it outside, the generator does exactly what I need it to, however, the muffler is pointed directly at the wheel base, which makes the tires and wheels very hot. The wheel base is also not sturdy. The unit I have has the hub spot-welded to the frame. The vibration and heat caused the wheel base to collapse after 1 hour of use and I had to go buy a cart and get a buddy to help me wheel it back to the garage. Its also kind of loud.

I've been looking for several months for the right generator to use while traveling in my travel trailer. I haven't been able to use this generator yet but it seems to be a very good one. I especially like that it has a remote start since I have problems with my shoulder and can't have a pull start. I can't wait to use it.

Love the folding handles and wheels. Very powerful and gives an even amount of power. Runs a welder well. Very affordable and best machine for the price. People have told me Westinghouse lasts a lifetime. This is my first purchase and very happy with it on the job.
