Excellent!! The unit came sooner than expected, thank you Walmart. The generator came nicely packed, was easy to put the wheels on, and, once everything was set, it fired right up. I have faith in Westinghouse. My area is looking at an icing event, Im excited I have backup for power.

It is everything it says. Easy setup, great directions. Started on first try with the electric start. I am a 77 yr old female, my husband is on oxygen with high liters and we needed a back up if a power failure. It has a gas gauge to let you know how much fuel left in plain sight. We looked at a lot of generators and this one had everything we needed. We didn't need a real big one, however we wanted the electric start and most smaller ones had only a pull start, this one has both. It is big enough to run everything we need to run.

This item seems to be a very good purchase. It showed up a lot sooner than expected which was a pleasant surprise. now we will be ready the next time the power goes out.

This is my second Westinghouse generator. My first one was a 4650 watt 120V unit. It always served us well. A friend bought it for close to what we paid for it, so I bought a 240V electric start unit. We are so glad we did! I bolted the wheels on, put the oil in, added a little gas (ethanol-free premium) and it started right up. We highly recommend this generator!

After several power failures decided I needed a generator. Several reviews later I picked the Westinghouse WGen5300sc Generator with CO Sensor. I picked it; !) for the reliable Westinghouse name; 2) it has an electric start (tired of pulling to start equipment; 3) it has wheels; 4) bang for the buck. Unpacked I found it to be well constructed, a heavy piece but those wheels make it easy to move. I love the fact that after reading and following the instructions I hit the electric start and boom, fired right up, no need to resort to the backup pull/recoil starter, but glad it's there. A solid piece built to last!

Easy to assemble and started right up. Hope it lasts a while

I have had this 6-7mos and the Auto switch stopped working. I talked to customer care, he suggested to charge the lithium battery. I charged it to SOC 100% but did not fix the problem. I can manual start the generator but being 73 I really need a working Auto Switch. Hopefully this will be replace at no charge.

I've owned this unit for a year now and it worked great during a three day outage from a tropical storm in Florida. I was supposed to receive a cover for it, but I never received it. four stars for not receiving my cover after leaving a previous review per direction.

I BOUGHT THIS GENERATOR LAST MONTH, FOR HURRICANE SEASON. FORTUNATELY.... I HAVE NOT HAD TO USE IT. I HAVE PUT GAS, OIL, AND A BATTERY CHARGER ON IT. SO, I AM READY! THERE ARE SEVERAL TROPICAL DISTURBANCES BREWING! I LIVE ON THE FLORIDA EAST COAST. I AM CONFIDENT THAT ME AND MY FAMILY WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE ANY POWER OUTAGES!

If I could put a -5 i would. It only works for a short time then when it is the most needed it shuts down. Don't think the extended works - it doesn't
