I was looking for a gennie that would run pretty much the whole house, but without breaking the bank to buy. I ran across this great W'house 5300W gennie and said "That's the one!" I ordered it and the delivery was timely.
I cut the box down the sides and pretty much laid the box out flat. I read the instructions and, 30 minutes later, it was completely put together (wheels and bottom braces were the only assembly items), oil put in, gas put in, battery connected and start button pressed 3X for ~1 second each time. It fired up on the 3rd press of the start button and ran great! I let it go for about 15 minutes, then turned it off. A couple of days later, I fired it up again......1 quick press of the start button was all it took.
Before this generator, I had a manual start one that I essentially had to rebuild the carburetor on to get it to start. The W'house is a tremendous improvement and the set up was the easiest I have ever experienced on any outdoor tool.
Fantastic Generator, starts instantly and runs terrific. I would highly recommend to everyone that needs power in places where there’s none or for those that want power when utility goes out. Perfect for work or home use
Perfect experience. It comes with the tools needed to put the wheels on and then some. A little bag is included to store them in! Oil is included! Plus the battery (for electric start) self charges when it is running. Not all generators do that believe it or not. I couldn’t be happier with how Westinghouse thought of everything. Sounds crazy but I can’t wait for the power to go out again so I can just smirk at Mother Nature as I push a button to start our new generator.
