Transfer switch

This generator has been on my radar for a while, I love all the safety features of this product .The WGen5300v is the perfect size for the things I need it for, the right amount of power and watts for my purpose.The generator and control panel features are easy to read . The transfer switch is the reason I purchased this model. Excellent product.

QUIET, LOTS OF FEATURES AND A GREAT PRICE POINT!!!

This generator checks all the boxes: great price, excellent multi-features, easy to access built-in control panel LED read out, fuel efficient, quick start up; easy to use and powers my 2-ton 220volt 20 amp A/C during power outages like a champ, and to make the deal even better, it's backed by a 3 year warranty!

Easy set up / waiting too use

Recent purchase, delivery and easy set up. Will use as emergency backup in Maine as power outages are inevitable in our rural setting. All set with transfer switch to link directly to home system and operate the essentials. Reviewing materials as to proper set up and operation and all looks very straightforward. Product came well packaged and all necessary items included.

WGen5300c initial startup

What a great decision to purchase this generator. As I approach 60 years of age, I'm finding it difficult to pull start my 35 year old generator. After a fair amount of research, I bought this WGen5300c. The electric start was my main consideration. It's slightly more powerful than the old one, it's a smaller overall size and it has some nice added features such as fuel gauge, digital multifunction display and a wheel kit. Even the 220v is a higher amp. Almost looking forward to the next power outage.

Simple and effective generator

I purchased this generator after a previous competitor model failed during a recent outage. Generator was easy to get up and running and produces power. I have not yet tried to power our house. Only issue is that there was damage to the air filter assembly, which will need to be replaced, probably from shipping.

Easy to unpack and assemble for "average" female

I was very nervous about purchasing a heavy portable generator, since I had no one who would be able to help me assemble it. It proved to be surprisingly easy! I just slit the sides of the box, removed the packing materials and wheel assembly, and then easily tipped the generator on its side to install the wheel assembly and feet. Unless you're quite frail, you'll be able to manage this, ladies! I haven't yet purchased my gas tank to fuel it and give it a trial run, but it looks like it'll be a simple matter to do so!

New purchase for lost power

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.

My WGen

I bought this one month ago, happy that I did. However, when I started it, which it did immediately, none of the power outlets provide me with power. I called Westinghouse and they helped me right away. I give this generator five stars even after not getting any power because issues do come up and I was helped immediately.
