The initial start up was amazing. I thought it would take me a few tries but it start on the first attempt. Runs well, quite than expected. This will be great for all of my outdoor events.
After several power failures decided I needed a generator. Several reviews later I picked the Westinghouse WGen5300sc Generator with CO Sensor. I picked it; !) for the reliable Westinghouse name; 2) it has an electric start (tired of pulling to start equipment; 3) it has wheels; 4) bang for the buck. Unpacked I found it to be well constructed, a heavy piece but those wheels make it easy to move. I love the fact that after reading and following the instructions I hit the electric start and boom, fired right up, no need to resort to the backup pull/recoil starter, but glad it's there. A solid piece built to last!
We purchased this generator with the power intention to use it for our house and portable BBQ-ing. The noise level is super acceptable and quiet for a generator this size, and it’s super comfortable inside whilst it’s running outside. Would be cool if it had electric start but it’s definitely not a dealbreaker.
