Best insurance I've ever bought

I am a senior, retired man in a rural area, in a total electric home. Power goes out at the worst times and I don't like cold and dark. I've not had to use it yet, but I face the winter with no worries, for a change. I don't know of a more reliable name to trust than Westinghouse

Dependable

I purchased the generator after a hurricane and was told it could be up to 3 weeks before our power was restored. Fortunately, our power was restored after 3 hours of using our generator! The set up was simple and the generator cranked on the second attempt. I feel confident that I will be pleased with my purchase.

Very User Friendly!!

I bought this product after power outages from a few recent storms. I have two very small children and this gives me relief knowing I can keep electric, heat, or other items running and provide the best for my kids. This is a must buy to reduce panic when power goes out.

VERY COMPACT GENERATOR

Great product, easy to put together.. more compact then my old generator plus it has a starter on it which is a lot better than trying to get the generator started with pulling rope. but still does have the puller string as a back-up. I am very pleased overall and my neighbors said it looks great.

Great generator

I already purchased on and bought another for my daughter. I would recommend this generator highly because I have already used twice this year and had no problems. The piece of mind can not be bought. I know my daughter will love it. Western house is a name you can trust and I'm glad I purchased this brand.

Westinghouse Model WGEN5300SC

This is one fine dependable generator! Easy to operate and standby power is there anytime you need it. My daughter has no problem running it. I would be quick to recommend this generator to anyone looking to brighten things up when the power goes off.

Not running correctly

I've had the generator for a week and it will not idle correctly out of the box constantly searching up and down. I've spoken to Westinghouse and I am confident they will make it good. Generator itself seems to be well built and is a nice compact size.

WGEN5300

I just bought this a few days ago, put it together tonight and added the oil. Didn't have fuel so I couldn't run it to test her out. But from what I can tell its built really well. Will be installing a RV power inlet into my shed to power some lights and a few plug so I can heat it and work in it during the winter. Will also be having a transfer switch and power inlet on my home. I hope to run all my main appliances, furnace and sump pump with this litte beast. Its small but says she puts out 5300 volts so we'll see. I'd buy westinghouse again its made really well. Love the electric start feature.
