Just got it unpacked and am impressed with the solid workmanship and solid parts. No strange issues when assembling the wheels and supports... took but 15 minutes. Now I have to assemble a 220 VAC cable assembly which will interface with my master power pane.

Ordered this generator as an upgrade since I am getting to the point I no longer want to try to start a recoil start motor on a wintery day. The item arrived sooner than expected and was easy to assemble (pads and wheels). I added the oil and added gas and it fired right up. I am also pleased with the noise level. It is only slightly noisier that the 1200 watt generator this is replacing. Overall I am very pleased with this generator.

Runs Great

Just purchased for a back-up generator for my home. Easy to assemble the wheels. Cranked on the first try. Electric start is great. Also verified that the pull start would work as a back-up method. Power output is consistent and verified with a voltage meter. Have run it a couple of times to break it in according to the instructions. Seems to be a good unit and was a value for the price.

I bought a few weeks ago because we were out of power over a week. It has been working fine. It has been a life saver for us.

Great Value

I bought the Westinghouse WGen5300s after I spent a lot of time comparing dozens of portable open frame generators. I went as far as making a spreadsheet listing 20 or so specifications and features for each generator when deciding my purchase. I wanted a stand by power source for my modestly sized rural home. In addition to powering some appliances and a few lights it had to provide 240 volts to a well pump. It will be connected via a manual transfer switch so the generator had to provide 240 volts through a L14-30R outlet. This requirement eliminated most other generators. I considered dual fuel generators but the added cost of such units was a deterrent and the fact that propane is more costly and provides less power from the generator than gasoline eliminated that option for me. Fuel economy was a very important consideration when comparing the different generators and there was a substantial difference that seems to be mostly associated with engine size and wattage output. The features most important to me were electric start, a built in meter for monitoring voltage, frequency and run time, a fuel gauge and an included wheel kit. Noise levels, weight and warranty period were also important considerations. This model met all of my requirements and beat most others when considering specs and features. The price from Amazon with free fast shipping made it a great value. I just received it so I cannot comment on its performance yet but I'm hoping it will provide many years of stand by power if needed.
