Generator
on January 3, 2026
Posted by: Long road

Within a week I was having trouble getting it started, initially thought it was a carburetor issue but turned out to be a stuck intake valve. It was a long process but Westinghouse replaced the unit and refunded the shop diagnosis charge. I would buy the store warranty if I was going to do it again just because of the length of time it took to get the generator repaired. As performance goes, I use it to run a Lincoln 140 wire feed and it does that quite well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this becuase I am disabled and this Westringhouse 5300 W has an electric starter My electricirty is turned off quite often in California and I needed something to keep the house going. Most outages begin later in the evening and this Westinghouse will start right up.. Real super easy to set up and operate.

This generator was extremely easy to get running. Little to no effort involved aside from the wheels. Electric start worked the first time. Happy with my backup protection.
