After hours of research and reading too many reviews to count, I decided on the WGen5300S as the perfect addition to my disaster prep. This generator has a better fuel/hour ratio than most other brands. It also includes great features that others don't such as the 120/240 selector, both transfer switch and RV hookups and the digital display. All this for just a bit more than other brands. I feel really good about the next power outage, but must say that I hope I don't need it. Well done Westinghouse!

Seems to be very well made and started instantly. I mounted a 2x4 board quick clamped to top frame to steer to back of house. Otherwise hard to move. Suggest longer oil fill funnel so I can move funnel to a more vertical position for filling and a larger diameter funnel. Good idea to include funnel and tools. Manual very comprehensive.

This was bought as a gift by my wife. Now I can eliminate hauling 100' of heavy duty extension cord through my yard to split wood where I want. I can haul this bad boy on my trailer and set up shop wherever. Looking forward to spring and banking some wood.

I was preparing for winter storm problems and found this generator that had good ratings. The setup was so quick. The setup brochure was easy to follow and tools and oil were provided. Within minutes the feet were mounted, wheels installed, oil added using the spout provided. Then it was adding fuel and pulling the cord. Started on the first pull. Zero problems. Now it's ready and waiting for when storms knock out my power.

We just bought this and haven't had chance to use it yet. My son assembled it easily enough. I found it to be just as advertised. I hope we don't have to use it too soon, but if we do have a power outage, I have no doubt that it will provide what we expect with the 5300 running watts. I stressed about power outages every time a bad storm was coming, but now will be at east knowing we have the Westinghouse Generator.

A perfect generator for our home use. Plenty of start-up options that enable us to use either a manual or electric start. The size(Watts) handles all of our needs to ensure we stay comfortable during any power outages. It is also mobile enough for me to use while working in and around our barn. I use a lot of power tools and am transforming part of our barn to accommodate my wood shop tools (lathe, table saws etc.) The generator allows me to power them up during this transition time.

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 purchased this generator at the end of last month, shortly after after loosing power. We had recently been experiencing heavy rain and our sump pump was working overtime; the short power outage was not fun, manually pumping the sump! I'm prepared now! It did arrive a little later than predicted and a little beat-up (recoil starter cover bent from hit to box). But happy to have purchase this.

I bought this 7 months ago but just unpacked it and set it up the other day. Wheel kit was easy and I added the oil and some gas and pushed the start button. Cranked in two seconds and ran smooth. Also, it's extremely quiet. Old generator was a hand crank, hard to start, killed my back, and was very loud. Thanks for building a nice product.

We bought this generator because of it's many great features - the most horsepower in it's class, the electric start, the reputation of Westinghouse. We live in hurricane territory and need something we can count on for power when needed so we went with this.
