I received and installed the wheels and foot of the generator chassis. The installation process was smoothly and straightforward. I like the reasonable weight of this model, WGen5300sc. For occasional power outages, I expect this generator to provide adequate power supply for the essential appliances, e.g. refrigerator

I had a Generac large generator, which had been left in a garage for several years full of gas. I could not move this, so decided to go with something smaller that I could manage. We got the tires and feet on easily. After reading all the instructions, we used the electric start and it took a minute, but then it started right up. I had to go with an electric start as I have shoulder problems and cannot use a recoil. We let it run awhile before plugging anything in, a fan which was nearby. It did not come on at first and we realized we had not turned the Amps to 120. Once we did this we had cool air circling around us. This made me very happy. I had a generator I could handle and that worked and was easy to start. As I live in hurricane prone Florida, this was a great purchase. Something light enough I could handle and that I could easily start should I lose power. I did have to wait a week for it arrive from the store, but it was well worth it. I have a ramp from my lanai to the yard, so I can take it out if necessary to use. The price was excellent. I did go overboard on buying cables, etc. and wound up returning half of them. I would recommend this generator to anyone who needs a backup source of power. It is manageable and does not take up a lot of room.

Did extensive research before purchase. No other deal can match this. Very pleased with the first peek after box opening - fine workmanship on a beautiful piece. Installed easily without reading instructions. Already installed the inlet, circuit breaker and interlocker before the purchase. Can't wait for the first power outage now. lol

I bought this about a month ago to be my primary power source dur power outages. My previous generator is a pull start and stand out in the cold pulling and pulling and pulling has just gotten old. Completing the generator build was quite simple and kudos for the funnel that screws into the oil fill, however, if it were a couple of inches longer over pours could be eliminated. Thee reason for the lose of one star is because the quick connect wiring is backward from what is needed for a battery tender connect, necessitating the need to install a seperate quick connect for that purpose. I turned off all the power to my house and then connected the generator, running the house on generator power for about 45 minutes with no issues. The true test will be when I'm hooking it up in an ice sstorm.

With our power constantly going out and a total electric trailer, I knew I had to have backup power for heat this winter. This generator was within my price range and will provide the security I need during power outages. It was easy to set up and started right up. It's light enough to move around. Haven't actually needed it yet but I'm so glad I have it

I didn't have to use it for the most recent hurricane but I go through the initial set up to verify it would turn on and it did. The instructions were super simple. I hope to never have to use it but if so, I'm confident that it will work as intended.

After 5 power outages this summer and our old generator quitting we decided to try Westinghouse. After opening the box we knew we made a great decision. We love the features and how easy it is to start, and it's much quieter than our last generator.

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.

We purchased this to replace a Generac 10,000 Watt unit that was just too big and heavy. This Westinghouse generator is compact, easy to maneuver, and has more than enough power. It was easy to assemble and started up on the first push of the starter button after we added oil and gas. Very happy with our purchase!

Purchased as a back up generator for storm outages living in the northern rockies. Really enjoy the ease of use and push button start capability. Noise isn't as loud as we thought it'd be, but it definitely helps having a 50ft cord to run the unit behind our garage. Hoping to not use this generator very much but glad we have it to power the essentials in our cabin during an emergency.
