Received my 5300s this morning and put the wheels and platforms on. Easy, peasy. Filled with (included) oil and connected the battery. Put some gas in the tank, checked that the circuit breakers were closed, switched the fuel valve to on, set the choke to on and pushed the start button. INSTANT START. Ran it for an hour for the required breakin period, pushed the off button and shut off the fuel valve. What could be simpler? But simplicity aside, I have to tell you—I have owned six different generators. The Westinghouse 5300s is (hands down) the best I have ever seen. Everything—and I do mean EVERYTHING—is top quality, including little things such as waterproof, paper for EVERY piece of paper that came with the generator. The instructions are clear, concise, and absolutely outstanding. In addition, it's 2/3 smaller (but more powerful), and lighter, than my last generator. I am beyond impressed with this product. Hats off to Westinghouse. In an hour I'm going to start it up again and hook up some equipment to it. I am 100% confident it will do the job. If you need a generator...for ANY reason...I cannot imagine a better one than a Westinghouse.
Although the product arrived looking as if it had been opened and a screw was just sitting on the top, underneath the product looked clean and unused. The oil funnel extender could be a little longer to avoid spills, but once you manage to get the wheels on, it is easy to move, start, and use.
