Super easy to set up and started up immediately. Novices level reasonable as I did not expect it to be as quiet as an inverter generator. Love the large fuel tank and 14+ hour run time. Using this as a home back up generator for our lovely PG&E power safety shutoff days as our area is high fire risk. Only thing keep this from 5 stars is the generator had damage on the recoil where it looked like something hit it. I was able to pry out the bent cover that was hitting on the recoil to where the unit is usable. Westinghouse is working on an open case to send a new one. very happy with purchase and being able to plug this right into our power transfer meter. No more extension cords!
Only used a couple of times since purchase. Battery start didn't work (very cold - 6 degrees)but started easily with the pull cord. Very important to use outside. Will not run in garage with the bay door open
I just recently purchased a Westinghouse WGen5300sc and have found that it is simple to use and easily moved around from my shed to my hook up wired to my house. It has a pully type pull across the front to move the cart, which I like better than the two handles, one on each side of generator front. Makes it seems weightless to pull. Love the electric start. Started it up again today in very cold temperaturess and it started up after two attempts with the electric start. My son has one like this one also, but with no electric start and has really liked his. He is looking to get an electric start also, maybe he will go with this model again. The only complaint I have is the pull start, which would be true on all the generators, from what I gather anyway.
