I bought this generator to replace a 15 yr old one that died just before our last power outage.Great instructions on assembly and operation, the only problem I had was the two nuts welded to the frame on the choke side were not lined up with the holes in the frame causing the bolts holding the foot on that side to cross thread( I was afraid I was going to break the bolts) but they eventually seated.Otherwise I would have given 5 stars. Started right up and after adjusting the choke it purred like a kitten ( my old one roared like a lion). I'm now ready for the next power outage up here in the cold northeast.
The WGen5300 provides all the electricity needed to run my house. It cranked easily and runs very quiet. I highly recommend Westinghouse portable generators.
