My 2nd Wgen5300

This is my second Wgen5300. I have them at two locations and I love them. They are fast starting and I run a portable air compressor in the field. You can't go wrong with these units. They are strong and dependable and quiet compared to others I have owned.

Lots of features and great build quality

I bought this after doing my homework online. I watched lots of reviews and Westinghouse had good review after good review. I have yet to fire it up but when the power goes out I will be ready. Also can't wait for my free cover! The transfer switch option also enticed me.

Review for WGen5300V generator

I bought this generator for my daughter's business to power a small deep freezer, lighting, and additional small appliances. The generator started right up on the first attempt and maintained the entire equipment powered through out the 4 hours of operations. The generator does great on gas. The system ran continuously for a period of 4 hours and only consumed only a 1/4 tank.

Happy to have

Happy I bought this to run my sump pump when power goes out. The unit was a little damaged when shipped to me which is unfortunate but I don’t think it will cause any issues when I use which is why I didn’t return it. Not sure if it was damage from shipping or manufacturing since metal is bent on the top right.

Loving my new Westinghouse Generator

I purchased this item due to the many storms in my area that causes power outages. As I am elderly and live alone, this item seemed ideal due to the size and the apparent ease in getting it started with the push of a button. I love the features on it also.

Great product

Bought as a replacement for aPredator model of the same rating. It was much more difficult to pull start and move especially for my wife. knowing that I may not always be available I searched for a more suitable item that she could manage, especially with an elecric start. Your product admirably fit the bill and we are both very pleased with our selection.

Just in case

I bought this generator one week ago to use for power outages, delivery packaging was not damaged in anyway, easy to assemble, added the oil that came with it, put in gas and pull the cord several times and nothing. Key Point : push the “on” switch, started right up and ran great. Now just waiting for the power outage!!!

It is compact & easy to use.

I bought this generator to replace a 30 year old one. It is very compact and loaded with features. It comes with a wheel kit that makes it easy to put it where you want it. The controls are laid out well on the main panel with ease of operation. I would highly recommend the WGen5300sc model .

Very smart and clean setup

Just received this unit via UPS. Box kinda beat up but to be expected, A few scratches on gen cover but all seemed to be OK. Looks well built and compact, Not as LOUD as the old gen of the same output capacity. I started up as per instructions and after a few min of uneven running it seemed to settle into a groove with a light fan load. I'll leave it to the break in of an hour. Over all It looks and sounds like a great unit. My only complaint is that the oil filer could be in a more accessible place for checking. The supplied oil filler was a welcome device to have AND KEEP. Over all I give it a perfect score for what it is for. P
