Box came a little banged up but no damage to the generator is apparent. The biggest disappointment was the manual and quick start guide were missing. I know I can get the manual online but that's not the point. I had to go online to view the manual to see how to install the wheels and stands and add the oil and since I paid for the manual it should be included. A little more quality control would resolved this issue.

We bought the generator about one week ago. And the expectations go more than beyond of excellence, quality. The price is awesome in comparison with other brands. The measures are perfect for us and fit to cover all we want in home. ***** I 200% recomend this product.

Looked for a bit for a generator to meet my needs for remote camping and emergency power. The small physical size of this gen makes it easily stored with no parts to snag on things. Came with all part to assemble which took all of 2 mlm minutes to screw on legs and wheels (which are included). Even came with a funnel and a QR of oil. Shipped quickly and totally satisfied.

We purchased this in January and are so glad we purchased this particular one. It is compact with enough power for our needs. We like the electric start and it is very easy to move. We love having the peace of mind that we will have power during storms. Highly recommend!

I ordered the generator on line and shipped to store, got it home and went through the quick start instructions. Tried electric start and got nothing but clicking noise. Tried pull start and it was totally froze-could not pull the engine over. Took it back and ordered another. Second one got here, went through the set up process, FOB start worked, push button start worked. Tried the pull start and the rewind did not work. One pull and I had to take cover off to rewind by hand. Tried it a few times. Doesn't rewind. Have to keep it because we need it for the week. Will be contacting customer service. Hope they can just send a new rewind. Runs great after started. Will have a better idea of how it does after powering the homestead for the next week.

It's a very good generator. Smaller and quieter than I expected. It arrived quickly. It had simple instructions to follow. It started right up without any trouble. I tested it with a power saw and it works great. It's fairly priced and I think it's a good buy.

We just received our Westinghouse generator a few days ago. The set up was very quick and easy. All the necessary parts were included, down to the oil that it required. The generator was very easy to start. We are very happy with the electric start!! Can't wait for the next storm to lose power, so we can try it out. LOL

Received my 5300s this morning and put the wheels and platforms on. Easy, peasy. Filled with (included) oil and connected the battery. Put some gas in the tank, checked that the circuit breakers were closed, switched the fuel valve to on, set the choke to on and pushed the start button. INSTANT START. Ran it for an hour for the required breakin period, pushed the off button and shut off the fuel valve. What could be simpler? But simplicity aside, I have to tell you—I have owned six different generators. The Westinghouse 5300s is (hands down) the best I have ever seen. Everything—and I do mean EVERYTHING—is top quality, including little things such as waterproof, paper for EVERY piece of paper that came with the generator. The instructions are clear, concise, and absolutely outstanding. In addition, it's 2/3 smaller (but more powerful), and lighter, than my last generator. I am beyond impressed with this product. Hats off to Westinghouse. In an hour I'm going to start it up again and hook up some equipment to it. I am 100% confident it will do the job. If you need a generator...for ANY reason...I cannot imagine a better one than a Westinghouse.

Bought this as a backup power source for my home incase of inclement weather. I haven't had time to test it under emergency conditions. However, from receiving it from the shipper and assembling and running it for a hour. It started and ran flawless.

I recently purchased this generator. After reading the instructions and watching a video , assembly was relatively easy. It started on the second pull . I attached my extension cords and powered up 2 devices. Generator ran flawlessly and was quieter than expected. So glad I bought this Westinghouse generator.
