A little Rough out the box but appears to work
on May 26, 2020
Posted by: JSSR
from Miami, FL
Got this and noticed that the box was damaged. Opened it up, and the two silica packs had burst open and there were silica balls embedded throughout the cardboard box. There were dings in the frame, and the cover of the alternator was dinged. Also the battery box was bent so the battery doesn't sit flush. It's a generator, not a beauty pageant contestant, so as long as it works no big issue. Getting the wheels and feet on was pretty easy. I try to pull the spark plug out with the wrench attached, so that could begin the break in process and the plug is not moving! Eventually the plug ends up getting stuck into the wrench, because The plug is in so tight, and the wrench is so cheap that it actually embeds itself into the sides of the wrench as the wrench twisted around it. I have to get the standard wrench that you see in hardware stores, and its not moving it as well. In fact the handle on that wrench actually bends, from trying to turn it. Eventually I get the plug out (probably after the oil penetrant I sprayed soaked through) and the plug is wedged into the wrench, So I have to beat that out from the wrench and chip a bit of the non sparking end in the process. But now that the plug is out, i can begin the break in process. Once I finally get everything oiled up & fueled up. It starts very easily. Both on the electric start and the pull start. And seemed to run with no problems, and at a decent noise level, even with a load on it. So while I spent way too much time, fighting with a spark plug, and on principle, I'd like to have it show up to my house ding free, at the end of the day it seems to do its job. Also it is a fairly manageable weight for the power that it can put out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

purchased the smaller size generator from westinghouse a yr ago and have been impressed with the easy start plus the great reputation
tried to get another one but had a hard time finding it plus the price diff between the bigger 5300 wasn't much different
i have 2 in case i ever have an issue there will be a backup

Had it shipped to the house. It was mostly together and assembly was easy. Started right up after 2 pulls. Plugged a bunch of equipment in the multiple outlets while running it for the break in period. Handled them without a hiccup. Love the digital read out. Solid all the way around.

I bought the generator 2 weeks ago. Assembly and set up were easy. Since then I've been able to break it in and test it with a few loads with no issues. I am pleased with the product so far.

Wonderful product

Great generator. I bought it because of the electric switch and the load compacity. I like that it came with a pull arm for easy transporting. The electric switch keeps me from pull my arm out of socket. Great machine.
