Ordered primarily for home backup during power outages. The WGen5300v provides 240V or 120V and provides enough power for critical loads to get us through until the mains are restored. Generator was delivered as scheduled without damage. Easy to unbox and assemble. Included instructions were clear and thorough. Generator is heavy but not bad to move with the wheels. Loud but tolerable compared to other open frame generators.

After getting it all unboxed and oil put in I hooked up my propane tank and pulled maybe three times and ran for hours flawlessly has great features to it and it doesn't run to loud for this type on gen very pleased powered everything in my camper as it should have.

Bought this to replace my old generator which connects to the house. I liked that it has a number of convenience features such as volt/ hour meter, gas gauge and main circuit breaker. I considered the mfg name and the fact that it was transfer switch ready before buying as well.

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 last year I've had the opportunity to use it a couple of times. It is everything that this products overview stated. It runs not as loud as most generators and easy to start which I love as a person with arthritis it really helps that easy start. Overall this is a great generator and the price is also great.

I bought this as a power back up for my house. Well built, runs quieter than expected, very maneuverable and was delivered in a very timely fashion. I like the fact that the directions are straight forward and easy to follow and the price can't be beat. Put the enclosed wheels on it, added the enclosed oil, filled with gas and it started on the first pull. I would recommend this generator to anyone looking for a reasonably priced back up generator.

I was impressed with the size of the unit, smaller than expected and fairly easy to handle. Since I just received it yesterday, I haven't started it up yet but the instructions are very straightforward. I bought this unit for emergency power outages as the weather here in Texas has been very unpredictable over the last few years.

Bought this for emergency use [with occasional use for away from building projects]. Haven't used it a great deal yet so I can't offer insight on reliability or longevity, but it seem to be all I'd hoped it would be for the moment. It is well-made, sturdy and easy to move. Very user-friendly controls with adequate receptacles for middle range power needs. For the price it seems it will well meet my needs!

Purchased for hurricane power outages. I was excited to try it when our power went out after Isaias went through. I prepared by filling the oil and adding gas. It started and ran fine for a couple of hours but produced no electrical output - so I shut it down and lived with the heat and no power to our two fridges - we even went out that afternoon to buy bags of ice to try and save our food - luckily power came back on later that evening. I will now need to try and get it fixed before the next hurricane runs through our area.

Fabulous! Unpacked and running in less than 30 minutes. Started on first pull. Handle and 2 rear wheels easily maneuverable. So easy my wife started parking it while I was still admiring it. I like the gas gauge and easy to read starting instructions right where you are looking.
