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!

I bought this because I live in Florida.As soon as I opened the box you could tell this a very well made generator.Very compact and a lot better design than the one I used to have.Before I bought this model I reviewed it thoroughly and this Westinghouse generator had rave reviews. More than happy with it.

After going through tropical storm Helene in Western North Carolina and being without power for 2 weeks we were given the generator. Powering it up and having electricity again was life changing. It has performed perfectly and without a glitch. I would recommend it to anyone. Get one before you need it and be prepared. You won’t regret it. A great generator and highly recommend it.

This model has all the features I needed for backup power for my home and power for my RV trailer. Having just going through a hurricane, I wish I would have purchased a tri fuel generator utilizing natural gas for home power and gasoline for RV trailer.

Powerful generator that we will be able to use to not only power our home on the occasional power outage but also our camper if needed. All the connections are there, instructions are very straightforward. Cannot speak to the longevity of the product but it appears to be quite sturdy and well made.

I just received this unit. I assembled it (easy), I added oil (easy) and I started it up (easy) for a few minutes. I will run it again in a few days for longer and add a load or two. The tru test will be the next outage when I can run my well pump.

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.

I bought this unit only a few days ago, was an easy setup process to do. I ran the unit for 1 hour under load and had no issues. This is a great light compact unit reasonably priced for the intended use for emergency use for me. I would say one improvement for future thought if the handle to transport could have a latch to make it able to pull or push unit, for pushing the handle does not stay in the upright position.

Upon receiving online purchase, WGEN5300SC Generator’s exhaust cover appears to have a dent on it’s side. Engine easily started via rope pull and push start button. Will be testing generator’s electrical output in the near future to determine if 5 stars is earned. Hope to receive generator’s cover soon.

Bought this generator knowing it weighed 148#, was hoping I would be able to move it where needed when the time comes. Widow lady with a bad back and this thing is so well balanced that it is no problem at all. Haven’t had a chance to use it yet, hopefully never will, but glad I have it after the last outage. Thanks for a great generator!
