We bought this unit to get ready for the upcoming hurricane season. This unit is powerful and very compact and will be ready in a moment's notice. It has every feature needed to make sure we have power when we need it. The included wheels make the unit easy to move. Very glad we bought it!

I had to pull-start the generator. I let it run for a while, and then it started with the electric start. I let it stand for a day and went to start it, but the battery would not start the engine. I was very disappointed. It is a bit quieter than the one I replaced and it doesn't seem to overload.

I bought this after the last storm i was very happy with how easy it was to set up and get started having dual fuel source is a major plus both gas and propane. Worth the money to give me a little peace of mind that i can keep my daughter insulin cool during a prolonged power outage

We bought this generator about a month ago after some ice storms and power outages hit my area. We haven't had a chance to use it yet, but the ease of assembly and setup was fantastic. It came with the recommended oil so we filled it up, put about a gallon of gas in it, connected the supplied battery and it fired right up. It was still cold so we had to choke it, but it started quickly and ran smoothly. I'm not looking forward to losing power, but I'm glad that we finally have a good electric start generator in case we do.

Ordered this recently to replaced old leaking generator (different brand & less power) that would've cost as much to repair as this one cost new! Easy minor assembly. This has push button start option which is GREAT! The design is better so looks like much of the periodic preventative maintenance will be much easier. And this has enough power to run most of the critical house needs if necessary - including lights, fridge, heat, sump pump, TV, etc (minus the air conditioning & stove if running the other items). Had an electrician install a 30 Amp transfer outlet outside so easy to hook up to all the house power along with a safety transfer switch on inside of electrical box. Electrician tested all the circuits, fuses & lines and everything worked great. Heavier than my last generator (approx135 lbs is approx 103 lbs), but the wide pull handle & slightly larger wheels make it just about the same effort to move around.

Just purchased the Westinghouse WGen5300sc generator for backup power for some vital circuits (heat, water etc) for the house. Assembly was super easy: just add mounting feet, wheels, hook up battery, oil and gas. Started right up and ran fine. Plugged it into my transfer switch and all worked like it should. Super happy so far!

I bought this 2 weeks ago. I am now in the break in. I plan to change the oil after the first use just to be safe. System started right up within seconds. The only thing I do not like is the oil fill is in an awkward position. I have not put the system under a load yet, but it runs smooth. Seems like it is efficient in using the fuel. The generator is fairly loud, but that is to be expected. I am glad I have it for bad weather. I have lost two freezers full of meat the last couple of years and do not plan for that to happen again. I also plan to use the system off road at my hunting property where I do not have electricity.

Received this today. Not a scratch on the box. Very little 'assembly' required. Filled with oil, plugged in the battery, and the motor fired up instantly. The choke lever is a little hard to get fingers on. Battery had plenty of 'factory' charge to start easily. Engine ran great. I powered an air compressor as a test and the engine sound hardly changed. Gauge to see Volts, Frequency, and Hours is wonderful. This model looks like a real winner!

runs great, the only reason I didnt give it a 5 star rating is that there was a pin hole leak in the fuel line when I started it the first time. This wasnt hard to fix as the fuel line was long enough to cut the hole out and reattach the hose, but something that quality control should have caught if these are given a test run.

I bought this generator to replace my old generator because of an anticipated ice storm. We were fortunate and never lost power. During the test run, the generator fired up immediately and worked great. I have no doubt it will perform well when I need it.
