Easy to set up, and operate. Unit came with oil, funnel, and all parts to get you up, and running in 15 minutes or less. Shipping was fast, and easy. For the price you get an excellent reasonably quite generator. Ours serves as our back up power for our home. Powers our furnace, well pump, freezers, and fridge with power left over for a couple TV's internet, and wifi.

I was looking for a dependable generator to replace my old one and researching the Westinghouse models I found the basic features I wanted but I messed up and bought the one without the remote start which would have been great I got the one with just the electric start, The main feature I was looking for was size and weight. The other feature I wanted was a reliable engine, this one is perfect it has steel liners for the pistons instead of the aluminum bored blocks not only that just look at the engine itself it looks tough 274cc ,CM sensor just a great generator, when I was finishing up putting on wheels and other assembly and check points. My favorite pet Lucille even approved.

Bought this to replace my old generator which connects to the house. I liked that it has a number of convenience features such as volt/ hour meter, gas gauge and main circuit breaker. I considered the mfg name and the fact that it was transfer switch ready before buying as well.

My generator arrived in perfect condition. I added oil and gas. I didn't read close enough the first time and missed that I had to connect the battery connection wires. Once that was done it started right up. I ran it for the recommended hour to "break-in" the engine. So far so good. I am very pleased with the construction, overall look, and design. The plastic funnel for filling the oil was a nice touch as well as supplying all the tools needed for assembly.

I bought this because I am recent transplant to Florida and was unprepared for a hurricane caused extended power outage. I have not used this generator much yet but I did unbox it and get it all setup. It was all a snap. Minor assembly of attaching the wheel kit and stops and adding oil. It has electric start which is a real plus and it cranked right up on first try. I'm actually looking forward to our next power outage!

I bought the Westinghouse WGen5300s after I spent a lot of time comparing dozens of portable open frame generators. I went as far as making a spreadsheet listing 20 or so specifications and features for each generator when deciding my purchase. I wanted a stand by power source for my modestly sized rural home. In addition to powering some appliances and a few lights it had to provide 240 volts to a well pump. It will be connected via a manual transfer switch so the generator had to provide 240 volts through a L14-30R outlet. This requirement eliminated most other generators. I considered dual fuel generators but the added cost of such units was a deterrent and the fact that propane is more costly and provides less power from the generator than gasoline eliminated that option for me. Fuel economy was a very important consideration when comparing the different generators and there was a substantial difference that seems to be mostly associated with engine size and wattage output. The features most important to me were electric start, a built in meter for monitoring voltage, frequency and run time, a fuel gauge and an included wheel kit. Noise levels, weight and warranty period were also important considerations. This model met all of my requirements and beat most others when considering specs and features. The price from Amazon with free fast shipping made it a great value. I just received it so I cannot comment on its performance yet but I'm hoping it will provide many years of stand by power if needed.

Full disclosure, I have not used this generator yet. After a TON of research, this seemed to be the best option on the market. All the right hookups in the right quantities, smaller and less heavy than similar products, easy to wheel around, great option for both home back up and rv power. It also has great reviews and was a competitive price at home depot- speed right to my door for free. I can't wait until summer to use it!

Extremely well built generator with loads of power. Very long run time on full take of gas. I love the electric start and the swing up handle and wheels make it easy to move. It even comes with its own oil! I recommend this generator over all others!

Bought this for home to run sump pump during an extended power outtage. After outfitting the unit with the motor oil it came with and fresh gas, it started right up. Make sure you follow the initial break in instructions and run it without any load for 1-hour. Piece of mind with this unit.

I bought this generator this week and love it. The price point compared to other brands was competitve and has a greater running and peak watt rate. Also love that it is dual gas and propane incase you do not have access to one. The wheels and handle make it very eay to roll around to get into a proper position for powering things up. Would buy again!
