We bought this generator to replace an eleven-year-old Honda model that finally died. We live in a remote, heavily wooded area, and often lose power. My husband, 81 and I, 75, both a bit wobbly, managed to easily unpack and set this up on our own in about 30 minutes. The instructions are well written, extremely clear, and logical. The unit itself is logical, everything marked and instructions easy to understand. New features we are thrilled about: electric starter means I can start this by myself; the fuel gage makes it easier to determine fuel levels in the dark, and the CO2 shut off is a great safety feature. This generator runs our well pump, oil furnace, refrigerator, household lights, microwave, toaster oven, internet & WIFI, TVs etc. without a problem. Plus, it seems quieter and appears to run cleaner. After getting it all set up, we ran it for about 30 minutes without issue. We're quite happy with our purchase. Just read the instructions and follow each step as outlined and you won't have a problem.

I bought this Gen 5300 a week ago. I already own a Gen 3600 I bought 2 years ago. Best and most dependable I ever had. Both of these generators always start the first pull of the recoil. The price of both was reasonable and competitive. I would recommend Westinghouse gens to any one. I love that Westinghouse pretexts their hens

Much easier to move from the shed to the porch when needed. Set-up manual could be a bit more informative, such as the amount of oil to initially put in. Using the entire bottle provided actually was a bit too much oil and I initially couldn't get it started. However customer service was very helpful in trouble-shooting and resolving the problem.

I have completed the final assembly; I found the supplied documentation to be very complete and easy to follow. After final setup, adding engine oil, fuel & connecting the battery, the unit started right-up & ran smoothly. I am very pleased so far & would gladly recommed this unit as a portable or back-up power source for home or other uses.

I bought this at the beginning of the 2024 hurricane season (06/2024). I actually bought two; one for my wife and I and a second one for my son, his wife, and our grandchild. I especially was sold on the features, especially the CO monitor alarm, the gas level gauge on the top of the tank, and the numerous power outlets.

No dislikes, Did not run correctly first time I started it. There was a spring on the carb governor that was not connected. I attached it and all is good. runs good and provides plenty of power where I need it. Nice generator at a nice price. Coupled with a transfer switch I can run all but the electric tankless water heater in my house.

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.

I bought this generator a result of the power outages we experienced during our winter and for projects around the property. I also needed something strong enough to power my small welding machine. With all the positive reviews, I truly believe it will last !

Just bought it have not used it just did a test run and it worked well. It powered our leaf blower and a heater that we used to test. Easy to move around and has a great handle to use to move it. Not fond of the gas cap took a little to get it off but figured it out. The plastic thing they gave us to put the oil in didn't flex very well and was hard to put oil in without spilling it. All in all so far very happy with it.

I bought this on Dec. 7, and it arrived at my door on Dec. 13. Generator had no damage, all items were present. Easy setup, simple instructions. I ran it for 30 minutes today to make sure all was well. I am very pleased. I have not put it to good use, but I am very happy so far.
