Have fired this up and run it through its break in period. Started easily and runs reasonably quiet. Only minor issue I had is that my battery tender wouldn't make connection through the battery disconnect so I had to hard wire a battery tender lead onto the battery.

Shipped in perfect condition. Filled it with gas and oil, and it started up on the first pull. I'm very impressed with all of it, from the low price, to the care in packaging / shipping, to the obvious quality of the generator, and all the owner's literature that comes with it.

Bought week ago. Nice and compact. More so than my old craftsman 5600/8600 and has "no flat" tires. Comparable in power at a cheaper price. Always need one during hurricane season. Nice to have portable a/c at night. Well pump running. Fridge and microwave. Beats eating cold soup and bread for 5-7 days when power is out.

Haven't had the need to rely on this yet, but I have used it to ensure it works and it works well. Smooth start, even after not starting for 6 months, started after a few pulls. Easy start instructions are listed directly on the frame, which is great for a quick reference.

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.

After my champion generator failed to produce power a flawed stator. I researched and came up with my westinghouse 5300. Reviews made this purchase a no brainer 4's and 5's across the board. Actually looking forward to my next power outage so I can run this thru it's paces. I'm happy.

I made this purchase for piece of mind when the power goes out , to provide warmth & comfort and hopefully avoid frozen pipes ! I have been reassured that the size I bought will power the whole house - Luckily enough , I haven't had to rely on "generator" power yet.

Just received my generator and I followed the wonderful instructions. My neighbor watched me and we did a test run. wonderful. the generator included Plus the oil and tools you need for the start. no guessing. Plus itis nice looking and easy to move with the handle.

So far the generator has performed as expected and appears to be well built. The electric start is very convenient, and I like that the battery is automatically charged during use. I am using this generator with a breaker panel transfer switch to power my full size refrigerator, lights, and an 8000 BTU portable AC unit.

Just bought this item so haven't been able to really use it but set up was a breeze, it started on the 1st pull and ran the 1st hour of break in time without a hiccup. Only downfall I see is that you can't use the 240V plug and the 120V plug at the same time but not a huge issue for sure.
