Bought my second westinghouse generator over a month ago and it still exceeds my expectations , my first one still running like a champ and I bought a second one for my other house which had a black out last week. Assembled it in less then 10 min added my oil n gas and provided me with electricity throughout the night... If u looking for a generator westinghouse is the way to go!!!

Just received this generator and it is perfect. I see many reviews saying the generator end cover being damaged in shipping however that is just how it looks. The 5300 is perfect to run almost everything in our house. Finally looking forward to our next power outage LOL!

Purchased the WGen5300sc in preparation for the Florida storms and hurricanes. Compared numerous brands/models beforehand and we are happy with our selection so far. Unit has great features for our loss-of-power needs, is easy to setup/start, and runs nicely. Hoping we won’t have to use it much but if we do, it’s good to have the assurance of being ready!

I purchased this generator last month and love it. I am a 65-year-old female and was worried I wouldn't be able to move this where I need to or get it started with the pull start. Well, I can move it and start it with no problems! We had a power outage a few days ago and it worked great. Thanks, Westinghouse.

This generator is quality thru & thru with more features for less money then the competition. From the the heavy duty engine & wheel kit to the little things like outlet covers & a screw in oil funnel. Clearly the best generator for the price & then some!

This product is great! Came shipped with oil in separate container. Takes 5 minutes to put the wheels and supports on. put the oil and fuel in, started up, worked perfectly. A great product, well worth the investment. Live in an area that looses power frequently, easy to plug into our house and stay powered with the essentials!

Got this and noticed that the box was damaged. Opened it up, and the two silica packs had burst open and there were silica balls embedded throughout the cardboard box. There were dings in the frame, and the cover of the alternator was dinged. Also the battery box was bent so the battery doesn't sit flush. It's a generator, not a beauty pageant contestant, so as long as it works no big issue. Getting the wheels and feet on was pretty easy. I try to pull the spark plug out with the wrench attached, so that could begin the break in process and the plug is not moving! Eventually the plug ends up getting stuck into the wrench, because The plug is in so tight, and the wrench is so cheap that it actually embeds itself into the sides of the wrench as the wrench twisted around it. I have to get the standard wrench that you see in hardware stores, and its not moving it as well. In fact the handle on that wrench actually bends, from trying to turn it. Eventually I get the plug out (probably after the oil penetrant I sprayed soaked through) and the plug is wedged into the wrench, So I have to beat that out from the wrench and chip a bit of the non sparking end in the process. But now that the plug is out, i can begin the break in process. Once I finally get everything oiled up & fueled up. It starts very easily. Both on the electric start and the pull start. And seemed to run with no problems, and at a decent noise level, even with a load on it. So while I spent way too much time, fighting with a spark plug, and on principle, I'd like to have it show up to my house ding free, at the end of the day it seems to do its job. Also it is a fairly manageable weight for the power that it can put out.

Using this for whole house set up. Had an outdoor power inlet box installed and connected to a transfer switch with interlock kit inside my electrical panel. Just plug in to an outside outlet and good to go. Great features. Love the electric start and duel fuel source. This was a must have with hurricane season approaching. I will use gas but nice to have propane as a back-up. Highly recommend this unit.

Did extensive research. No other deal can match this. Very pleased with the first peek after box opening - fine workmanship on a beautiful piece. Installed easily without reading instructions. Already installed the inlet, circuit breaker and interlocker before the purchase. Can't wait for the first power outage now. lol

I bought this generator for when we go camping and to power the essentials in the house when we lose power. This benefits the bill perfectly. The never flat wheels with bearings and the handle make it so much easier to tote around compayto my old generator.
