So Far, So Good

Just received the 5300 with electric start, the quick setup instructions very easy to follow, includes everything -wheels, tool kit, oil and even a funnel ! Gassed it up - pushed the electric start ...... fired right up, average operating sound for a generator, ran smoothly, no leaks or drips ! Gave it a quick test with two 1875w hair dryers ..... no problem ! The WGen replaces a 3500w manual start , I can get spoiled with this electric start ! And like with anyone who buys a home generator "I hope I never use it" but in this New Normal , it will be getting it's use !
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect for my Needs!

My needs for standby electric power generation relate to unexpected power outages. When the power goes out I need backup power to run a septic sewerage pump, a refrigerator, some lights, and if it is winter time the furnace fan to keep the heat on in the house. The combination of being able to provide 5000 watts with a low weight (107 lbs.) and on be on wheels were critical selection criteria. These features made this model a prime candidate, and when I added the Westinghouse name, it was my choice. When it arrived and I got it unpacked and assembled, what I found was a compact, well designed and durably constructed portable generator that was easy to maneuver and manage.
The user manual that is part of the package is first class - very well done! As an inexperienced person, the user manual was able to guide me through the entire process from unpacking the equipment to pulling the recoil starter handle. When I reached the moment of cranking the engine for the first time, after following all the steps, I pulled the handle once, I pulled the handle twice, and much to my surprise the engine fired up and was running. I was amazed at how effortlessly it was to pull the handle to get the engine started. Each time I have cranked the engine since then I have had the same effortless experience. I have run it through the 5 hour break in period not exceeding 50% of the rated running watts
while alternating the loads, after running for the first hour without a load. I installed a ground rod and connected it to the generator with an 8 A.W.G wire. I also purchased a carbon monoxide (CO) detector and put it in the house. These are things I would never have known to do, if they had not been covered in the user manual. I checked the generator's voltage output with a volt meter and it was spot on. I am very pleased with this purchase!

Works as described

Easy to attach rolling kit (highly recommended as it's moderately heavy without wheels if you aren't planning to mount in a permanent location)
Straight forward operation. No problems.
