With just a little work, this was ready to go as soon as the box opens. Love the different amp options, the long run time of 14.5 hours, the carbon monoxide sensor, and the peace of mind this machine offers. This is more than enough to run our essential items when (not if) the power is cut off because of inclement weather.

My daughter and son-in-law were telling me how pleased they were with their recently purchased 5300SC generator. With the start of hurricane season here, I thought it was a good idea to have one of my own. As I am 96 years young, the electric start feature will definitely come in handy! It is ready to go should it be needed! Thank you. Westinghouse!

In anticipation of possible hurricanes coming to Florida, we purchased the Westinghouse WGen5300cv generator. It was simple to start, and instructions on preparing it for use were straightforward. The generator started on the first try. Very impressed, and while I don't look forward to ever using it, I am glad we bought it.

Westinghouse manufactured a generator that was exactly what I was looking for. Other manufactures had generators with to low or high voltage output and yours was perfect as well as the price. Putting it together, setting it up with the tools you provided made it easy.

Good features such as outlets for transfer switch and RV. Good amount of power to run all household appliances and easy to move around on the supplied wheels. A couple minor issues, could use additional regular 120v outlets and power could be cleaner, specs in manual mention <23% THD.

Just moved to Northern Colorado and realized a generator is a must have for winter! Arrived via UPS in a box that looked like it went through a war, but all was well once I unboxed it. Solid and well built, my only complaint was that the battery arrived dead and I had to manual start to check operation. Once I did get it started, it purred like a cat. Quiet and no sputtering or hiccups when I applied a load. Overall I'd give it 4 stars (would have been 5 if not for the dead battery).

I purchased this generator on 9/1/2023. I've only had to use it once (for 3 days) to power my house. This generator is remarkable. It powered my refrigerator, A/C unit, Furnace, several outlets and lights. I'm very happy with it and highly recommend it to anyone looking to power. 1,500 sq. ft. house.

Just received on Dec 7, 2020. Easy directions. Neighbor helped me get wheels on and put in oil and gas. Started up immediately. One small dent in frame on the generator but it works just fine. Have not had to use it yet because of power outage but am very confident that the generator will work fine in my time of need. Thank you for a great product.

Impressed with shipping materials. Generator arrived in perfect condition. Installed wheels and feet easily. Added supplied oil and non-ethanol gas. Used the manual hand crank to gently cycle the engine and let the oil circulate. Then closed choke and manually started the engine on the first pull. After running for about a half hour, I turned it off and tried the electric start method. It started perfectly. I would definitely recommend this product. Very pleased.

Had shipped to store and picked up last week. Saw multiple reviews about damaged items but had no problems. Got it running to test and seems to be OK. Only complaint so far is the location of the oil spout. Very hard to get to. Had to unconnected the battery wire to fit the oil funnel.
