This was a good price for all the features you get. It was easy to set up and this model came with a wheel kit. Many others don't. It seems sturdy and is heavy, so you need wheels to be able to move it. We had to cut the box just to get it out. We haven't run it yet but did a lot of research on portable generators and this has enough power for running our refrigerator and some minor appliances during a power outage. The blue and black color looks nice too.

I just bought this to keep one room comfortable with AC if power outage from a hurricane happens. It is very nice and alot of features. I am a 62 yr old woman and love that it has a push button start. I live in Florida and the heat is unbearable during summer months. I have lost power in the past and l lost all food in refrigerator. Trying to be prepared for any outages in future.

This generator has everything you need to operate Items to your needs and to maintain the unit to keep it running for many years. I received the unit via UPS and after assembling the unit with a few items such as the wheel, mounting feet, oil and gas I connected the battery and the unit started right up and ran smoothly. I found the unit to run much quieter then I expected. Remember folks to run the unit for 1 hour with no load (nothing plugged into it) this is an important step in the break in of the generators gas motor. I'm very happy with my purchace.

There are many generators out there for one’s needs. After concluding my review, I settled on the WGen5300cv. The number of power ports and its versatility made this the choice for me to provide temporary power from utility interruptions and work in the back 40. Set up and operating instructions were easy to follow. Preparation and start-up were effortless. Hoping for many years of usage for my home needs.

The Generator arrived with slight damage from shipping. For the most part, the generator was ready to go from the box. Installed the rubber feet, wheels, and oil very quickly. I was happy that the oil and a funnel was supplied. My model has electric start and came with its own battery that already had a charge. The battery connection is fool proof. Once I added premium fuel, start up was easy. I was not sure what to expect with noise level. This generator is not extremely quiet like an inverter but is much more quiet than other generators of similar power that I've owned and used. My cabin is off the grid and this has provided plenty of power. It has not shown any struggle to power the cabin along with some power tools. No opinion on longevity yet. I just wish this model had a remote start option.

As a Senior I need a newer Generator with Electric Start. My older 10 HP 5500 watt just was getting too hard to pull start. Living in Florida we need to have a backup power source for two or three days to keep our Refrigerator working. Setting up was easy. Just put the wheels on it were the delivery guy leaves the Box. Add Oil --Roll outside and push start. At first I was a little concerned as nothing happened, then a few seconds later, the start light flashed and it started right up. Have run it for a few hours so far--with a light load. It works great!

Ordered primarily for home backup during power outages. The WGen5300v provides 240V or 120V and provides enough power for critical loads to get us through until the mains are restored. Generator was delivered as scheduled without damage. Easy to unbox and assemble. Included instructions were clear and thorough. Generator is heavy but not bad to move with the wheels. Loud but tolerable compared to other open frame generators.

Bought this due to severe weather and without power for days.I got this it was quickly delivered and easy to setup and run. It’s a pull start which started easy on the 1st pull. It was packaged sturdy for shipping. Manuals and everything you needed was in the both. Oil, spark plug & propane connectors. I definitely recommend Westinghouse. I’m a fan of old school companies that have been in business forever. That’s why I bought it. Along with the great price

I bought this as it was similar to my neighbor's, who let me use his during the mass pwoer outages on April 29th. This one has more wattage, but for the proce, that is a good thing. I just wanted to keep my food cold in the refrigerator. It is assuring I can do much more!

I just received this generator two days ago and today I assembled it, added oil and gas and tested it. It looks well made and ran good. The one disappointment was that one of the locking clips on the air filter assembly #50030057 will not latch. It was like that when I took it out of the box. How did QC miss that ? Cal
