I purchased this generator to replace a 22 year old generac. While the generac worked well for many years, it slowly, as expected, started to produce less and less amperage, and then just died. Being used to a crazy loud generator for years, starting and running this Westinghouse machine was such a pleasant surprise! Amazing how much quieter it is than the generac! Runs smooth as can be, ever under max load condition. I purchased a Westinghouse gas pressure washer last year, been loving that, so it was a natural choice to get this unit.

This generator is fantastic. Electric start means I will no longer try to pull and pull a cord to get it started. Mine is large enough to provide electricity for my whole home, less the a/c, which is just fine. Lights, fans, refrigerator and freezer. Living in Texas it will be great ,

Bought this a month or so ago to power my big freezer, sump and fridge if the power goes out. So far so good. Started it up right away. Appreciate the electric start. Comes with oil, oil nozzle, wheel kit, fill out a couple things and get sent a cover, this that and the next thing.

Although I haven't used the generator in a power outage, it was easy to assemble the wheels and feet, quick start guide was simple to follow and straight forward. I did a test run and everything seems to be functioning properly. The engine started immediately and ran smoothly. Highly recommend!

Seems well built. Heavy duty frame. I like the rubber engine mounts. I assembled the feet and wheels. Put the supplied engine oil in using the provided funnel. This was a nice feature that made it much easier to add the oil. Put about a pint of gas in the tank, turn on main switch, set the choke to start and 3 pulls later it fired up. No vibration when the engine is running. Metered all outputs and everything checked out. The only thing that was off is the owners manual says the oil capacity is 074 qts. This only brought the level up to the low end of the dipstick. I added a few more ounces to bring the level up some and will keep an eye on it. Other than that it seems to be a well built machine and will make the next power failure easier to navigate

This is my 3rd generator, (1st Westinghouse), and by far the best and most complete of the 3! Very well made and only required that I attach the wheels and add oil and fuel plus connect the battery. Started right up and ran smoothly for the 15 min. test run. Here in FL. with our wild summers ( hurricanes ) we definitely need a reliable replacement when we seem to lose our elect. every time the wind etc. exceeds normal!

I bought this as it was similar to my neighbor's, who let me use his during the mass pwoer outages on April 29th. This one has more wattage, but for the proce, that is a good thing. I just wanted to keep my food cold in the refrigerator. It is assuring I can do much more!

I bought this portable generator because I was looking for something small but good power. This was reasonably priced and had a good warranty. The generator was easy to build from the shipping package. I filled it with oil and gas and it started immediately.

i bought this WGen5300sc a couple week's ago and after putting the oil and gas in it started right up and runs great smooth and don't make as much noise as a smaller generator that i have does. tried the pull start and started first pull. i really like it. and good warranty.

We bought this generator for our daughter to be able to run her sump pump in her basement during a power outage. It looks well made and my husband easily put rhe few pieces on the generator. Filled with oil and gas and it started on the first try. I think this will be easy for our daughter to use and also power a couple of lights.
