Bought for horse trailer with living quarters and didn't want a monster but wa wanted one that would run everything but yet still fit under the bed cover. WGen5300c was our choice over the Honda. Hope the remote comes in handy as this also help to steer us to this one.

Westinghouse generator review I put off getting a generator for too long… Several months ago, we lost power and were without power for two days – not long but long enough to worry about when the power would be restored and potential problems of pipes freezing throughout the house including our heating system (hot water baseboard heat). I searched the internet for reviews and product information. Based on favorable reviews along with good pricing, I chose the Westinghouse WGen5300 to power my house for essential service items in the event of an extended power outage. The unit was delivered on time, undamaged and the installation instructions made easy work for the setup and testing. We have yet to use this during an emergency but were ready to go. No worries for the next power outage ….

After looking at many different generators my husband said this is exactly the one for us. It has enough watts for our needs. Starts easily on the first pull or instantly with the electric starter switch. Legs and wheels were very easy to install. Good price

Got it today, did the recommended break in. engine sputters from time to time,(governor thing I think), may need to be rejetted,waiting for support. After break in, seems to carry a load @ 120 volts ok. Need to get a plug to test 240 side.Instructions could be a little clearer in that you need to cut the zip tie on the battery connection and connect it.other than that it starts, it runs, it makes power, I'm happy!

Bought this generator last month and it is perfect for my needs. Have it connected to my house when we have an electrical outage which happens frequently where we live. Runs great and the electric start is a wonderful feature. It was recommended to me by a salesmen. Compared to other portable generators with all the features the price would be hard to beat. Definitely would recommend.

I've had the unit six weeks. It assembled as expected. It started right up, first time and every time since. I ran it for the prescribed break-in period, then again 3-4 weeks later. We had not had a power outage in that time. That will be the true test. I'm glad I spent the extra money getting a electric start model, as I was not successful in starting it with the pull rope. (I imagine a younger person could pull that rope faster, and therefore get it going that way.) I am quite happy with my investment in keeping the basement dry!

I followed the instructions perfectly...added 10w-30 oil...added unleaded gas. I let it run for an hour and then hooked up my RV. I turned everything on. Handled it like a champ. It's not a quiet generator, but it's not hard to build a sound box. Great bang for your buck

I received my new WGen5300s Westinghouse generator this week. After installing the feet and wheels, adding oil and gas, and connecting the battery, it started on the first attempt. After some electrical work on my home was completed, this generator powered my entire home. This will be helpful for us since we live in a rural community with lots of trees. The last storm we had, our power was off for almost a whole day. We lost most of the food in our refrigerator. This generator will pay for itself if we have several outages. The directions are very well written and helpful.

I am a senior widow woman. I needed something with ease so I can do this myself. I found this self start with a remote to boot! Did not even know they made them. It has no flat tires. One of the few that has rubber covers to go over all of the plugs. I think for a senior it is perfect!

Bought this generator to help out in case we lose power again in the winter. So far it seems to run well. Haven't hooked it up to the house or ran necessary items yet, so I can't give a full 5 stars yet. But so far I have no reason to think it will give me any trouble!
