Partial assembly with wheels and feet was very easy, Added oil and fuel and started up for break-in period, It started up on very first pull. No kidding. Yeah, I was surprised. Was also quieter than I expected. I am now ready for the next power outage. This is an awesome generator and I would recommend this to anyone. Thumbs up to Westinghouse.

I bought this generator for my home a month ago incase of a power outage. After testing it out I am very pleased, this generator covered power for my deep freezer and refrigerator! If you have stocked your freezers to prepare for another COVID shutdown... This is the perfect purchase to ensure your food does not spoil if the power goes out.

We live in the county and if there is a power outage we are not the first the power company worries about. I want to be able to start my generators quickly. This one is s nice and its not as loud as my old one. We are now set, just hope we don't have a hurricane this year. The freeze was bad enough.

this is my first generator to own, the instructions gave good information, some good details about how to prepare this generator to start. Tools needed are a 10mm socket, a long tube funnel to put in the oil and broad mouth funnel to put in the gas. Once the tires are on and the feet are attached, oil put in, the gas is cleaned up from around the mouth, I allowed the machine to set for an hour to allow the gas spills to evaporate. this machine fired right up , it was easy to set up and run. I recommend this Generator.

Great feeling the security of knowing we will have power if our electric goes out. Here in Florida it can happen any time, especially during hurricane season. The wheels make it very portable. These cart came with it. Many places you have to buy cart separate.

Bought it just in time before Hurricane Beryl arrived! Served us very well during the multi-day power outage. Starting it up was very easy. We were able to power up a deep/chest freezer, side-by-side refrigerator, two fans, workstation (laptop, modem/router, two monitors), portable electric cooktop, rice cooker, and device chargers (phones and tablets) all at the same time! And when we disconnected the cooktop and rice cooker, we were even able to use our washing machine! A full tank of gas lasted over 15 hours for us. Only thing that can be improved is the shipping. Should have more protection against damages. This generator is heavy, so people handling it during delivery might not be as careful. Mine came with some dents on the protective metal framing of the generator. Nevertheless, this generator worked great and as advertised!

Purchased late Dec. 2021. My new Wgen 5300s is everything I need for portable emergency power. Added gas and oil, it started on the first pull and purrs like a kitten. Very impressed with how quite it is too and the confidence of Westinghouse quality and great pricing!! Thanks for a fine product.

Recently purchased the wgen5300s. It arrived promptly and in perfect condition. Setup was easy and the instructions were clear. I tested the unit by connecting two 1500 watt space heaters and then added my miter saw. It handled the load as expected. I also tested the electric start and the manual pull cord. Both worked perfectly.

This generator has been on my radar for a while, I love all the safety features of this product .The WGen5300v is the perfect size for the things I need it for, the right amount of power and watts for my purpose.The generator and control panel features are easy to read . The transfer switch is the reason I purchased this model. Excellent product.

We bought this generator 2 weeks ago because we lost power where we live. Great generator after using this one for almost 24 hours! Pretty easy to put the feet & 2 wheels on.. Takes probably 5 minutes to install. We used this generator about 2 hours after buying it had to add oil... Which it comes with & will take the entire bottle & gas. After adding all that & reading the book we let is run about 2 hours before adding any plugs or appliances to the generator. The book says to let it run for up to 25 hours before adding appliances but we crossed out fingers & ran it for 2 hours & worked great. No problems at all with this one. First time buyer & this one is worth it.
