Best features for the price

I just bought this for hurricane preparedness and after reading the reviews of all manufacturers out there this one rated the highest and everyone I talked to said this brand was the one to go with. Feel better going into hurricane season here in Florida.

It worked for almost an hour

I bought this for a "just in case" to supply partial power to the house. Well, the hurricane hit and we lost power. Plugged in the generator and all was well for about an hour, then it stopped producing electricity. Engine runs fine, but no electricity. Now the warrantee is over and I get to buy another generator because I can't fiind anyone to fix it.

Super easy to set up and operate

I bought this generator two months ago to prepare for the coming winter. As this year's first big winter storm is coming to our area, I finally managed to install a transfer switch and set up the generator as per the manual. The setup appeared to be easy and straightforward. I ran the machine for 10 min or so and it worked smoothly without any issue. Now I can finally give myself a piece of mind before the storm coming.

Smart Purchase_Generator

We purchased this generator last fall in case of a power outage in the future. We just took it out of the box and set it up. The instructions were easy to read and follow, and set up was simple. The tools were even included. I recommend this generator.

Great bang for the buck.

Quick and careful delivery. Opted for gas only to only handle fridges. Already have a solar/battery 1000w generator for inside. Easy to put together and working great out of the box by following the exact steps in the manual. Breaking it in as I type.

So far so good!

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!

My new 5300SC !!

My daughter and son-in-law were telling me how pleased they were with their recently purchased 5300SC generator. With the start of hurricane season here, I thought it was a good idea to have one of my own. As I am 96 years young, the electric start feature will definitely come in handy! It is ready to go should it be needed! Thank you. Westinghouse!

Started on the first try!

Got the 5300s generator. The s is for electric start. Started on the first try. A break in period of one hour is suggested. It runs smooth and not as loud as our previous Generac 5000. One small complaint would be the short funner for adding in oil. I think they should add a couple fo inches to it.

WGen5300cv

Bought this for storm season, have yet to get the chance to start it up but it looks great and should power all of my needs. Went thru the machine and everything looks to be in order. Not too heavy for portability compared to other machines iv dealt with, great ergos with the fold up handle and compact design for what it is. The plug covers are a nice addition, wheels are of good quality as well as the rubber feet, welds on frame look sturdy. Quite happy with this purchase.

Great Features

I purchased the generator on Aug 21,2021. I have not started it yet. I am impressed with its Quality and Features. It has a multi function Digital Meter, 3 sets of outlets each circuit breaker protected, low oil cutoff switch, a convenient handle and wheels for easy mobility and has a 4.7 gal gas tank.
