Easy to move, instructions on the generator!

My hubby bought this for the family for hurricane season in Florida. After looking around at reviews and prices, we decided upon this make/ model. When it came in it was even better than we expected! It's easy for me to move and the instructions are right on the generator for me to use if he's not home. It came with a very detailed instruction booklet which I appreciate! He's in construction and has used generators for years but I've got no experience with one so it gave very detailed instructions on safety, usage, and maintenance. That was very helpful to me!

Opened the Box; followed the easy to understand simple setup instructions. Added Gasoline, and started it right up (Started First Time), no hassles. Have used the generator a couple of times with ease. Would highly recommend purchasing a Westinghouse Generator

We bought this to hook to a transfer switch to power our home if we lose electricity. We'll also take it camping and appreciate the RV plug on it. Great value!

A little Rough out the box but appears to work
on May 26, 2020

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.

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
