Extremely well built generator with loads of power. Very long run time on full take of gas. I love the electric start and the swing up handle and wheels make it easy to move. It even comes with its own oil! I recommend this generator over all others!
Hello, I bought the when5300cv. It is a beast. Works great and has a lot of power but it too noisy. It is being advertised as running with 68 DB but it actually marks above 80. See measurements attached. The graph shows from 10 feet from the generator up to 25 feet. It starts almost at 87 - 88 and as you move away it drops to 56 around 25 feet. I definitely recommend it but make sure you have plenty of space and extension cord LOL.
We have been researching generators to purchase, starting last year. Due to hurricane season 2023, we ended up not purchasing because we waited too long, and they were hard to find due to hurricane season in full swing. This year we started early and after reviewing many based-on features and pricing, we decided on the Westinghouse WGEN5300SC. The portability was important, and it allowed us to purchase the amount of power we needed, for a good price.
I bought this at the beginning of the 2024 hurricane season (06/2024). I actually bought two; one for my wife and I and a second one for my son, his wife, and our grandchild. I especially was sold on the features, especially the CO monitor alarm, the gas level gauge on the top of the tank, and the numerous power outlets.
