Over the past year we've been losing power a lot. The last time it was out for 11 hours, long enough for the house to get cold. I thought I should get a generator especially for my aged mother-in-law lives in the first floor apartment. When I saw the Westinghouse generator I felt it was a good "insurance policy" for the money. since I trust the Westinghouse name, I jumped on it.

First of all the generator was delivered in superb condition. Not a scratch. I bought this generator for a limited house backup to power several freezers and refrigerators in case of an electrical outage. Also plan on using generator at remote fishing camp. The outlets on this generator will supply everything I need to power my electrical needs in case of a power outage. The Data center is also a bonus. With one exception, this generator was very easy to setup. The oil fill was the most difficult. The funnel provided helped tremendously. After the setup, the generator started right up using the electric and hand start. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

I have not used this product yet. It was delivered in a very wet box, but when opened it seemed to be OK. In all honesty I haven't been able to assemble, and start the unit. As it sets, it is highly encouraging. My house was torn up during the Rio Grande Valley 80 mph storm on 4/28, and we are entering hurricane season which is why I made the purchase.

Purchased online for home delivery. It arrived timely. The bottom of the frame was quite noticeably bowed on the end near the muffler and spark arrester. However, it appeared to not interfere with how the generator performed. Time will tell. Everything else looked good to go straight out of the box. Easy assembly for the feet and wheels. Easy to access and fill both oil and gas. Super easy pull start! Looking forward to running many hours on this generator!

Generator and parts arrived in excellent condition. Easy to assemble. Generator started easily. Needed to change plug from my services, very easily done. After reading directions (many times), Voltage Selector switch needed to be set on 240 volts to operate on my service, thinking it had only to be on 120 volts. Contacted my electrician and he verified setting was correct because he had installed same generator earlier.

I bought this for Western NY power outages. My electric goes out frequently where I live due to strong winds, heavy snow and drunk drivers hitting poles! Well, an occasional misfit city flatlander shooting aimlessly into the dark and hitting power lines can't be ruled out either... Product even comes with a manual for easy to understand instructions for delinquents such as my neighbor who no longer drives.

I bought this over 6 months ago used once right away worked to power almost every thing in my house, I just used again after the hurricane to pump my cellar out at my rental house twice. It started up right away both times after not using it for 6 plus months.

Just bought this generator and I am in the process of doing the run in. All the directions that come with it were very clear. Was very impressed with all the items that come with it like the tool kit and also a bottle of engine oil so I did not have to go out and get oil.

I purchased this WGen5300DFcv portable generator to use as a secondary power source during power outages. I unpackaged it from the box and followed the instructions for minor assembly, starting and operating. The instructions were easy to follow and understand. I hooked my generator up to propane and let it run for 45 minutes during that time cycling various electrical connections and items. Very pleased with this Westinghouse brand, this was my first purchase with this brand and based on my experience there will be future Westinghouse purchases made.

Just received and have not had a chance to try out. It looks great and seems solidly built. All covers and components are nice and tight. Looking forward to getting some fuel in it and testing with some of our appliances. We live in an older neighborhood and the power goes out a few times a year. Looking forward to not worrying about our food going bad.
