Reliable Reviews

After recently helping my family member install his new WGen9500DF generator (with a separate purchased amps/watts display), I purchased this WGen5300s to replace our 6 year old unit. In the past week, I have setup as per the instructions and tested it under no load conditions during the break-in period. It has started, operated & checked out just just as the reviews stated. Although our old gen has been very reliable during the Gulf Coast electrical power outages, we believe this unit will be as reliable, use less fuel & operate more quietly. We also like that the new unit is backed by a 3 year vrs 1 year warranty. The only room for improvement that I would suggest for the WGen gens, would be to add an amperage &/or wattage indication to the VFT display panel. We look forward to years of reliable service for our WGen3500s.

Straight out of the box.

The kick in the butt from Texas freezing over this year made us wish we had a generator. After researching many, we bought Westinghouse WGEN 5300s generator to have on hand primarily for hurricane season down on the gulf coast. After checking amperage on what things I'd want to run in the case we lose power, this seemed to fit our needs as an emergency generator to get through a few days or so. Out of the box the generator was very easy to assemble (wheels and rubber feet). It came with everything needed to put things together in addition to the oil needed with a long spout to help put the needed oil in the machine prior to it's initial start up. After following the set up instructions, I added some gas and boom, it fired right up. I ran it for about an hour straight and tried the 240 and 120 outlets. The generator is very simple and easy to use. After using the button to start, I did use the pull start to make sure it worked. Everything fired up and it ran nicely. I plan on running it every other week or so to make sure it doesn't go stale on me from hurricane season. I'm hoping we don't have any big hurricanes hit this year or next, but if they do, at least we have something to help stay a bit more comfortable if one comes and the power goes out.
