Straight out of the box.

The kick in the butt from Texas freezing over this year made us wish we had a generator. After researching many, we bought Westinghouse WGEN 5300s generator to have on hand primarily for hurricane season down on the gulf coast. After checking amperage on what things I'd want to run in the case we lose power, this seemed to fit our needs as an emergency generator to get through a few days or so. Out of the box the generator was very easy to assemble (wheels and rubber feet). It came with everything needed to put things together in addition to the oil needed with a long spout to help put the needed oil in the machine prior to it's initial start up. After following the set up instructions, I added some gas and boom, it fired right up. I ran it for about an hour straight and tried the 240 and 120 outlets. The generator is very simple and easy to use. After using the button to start, I did use the pull start to make sure it worked. Everything fired up and it ran nicely. I plan on running it every other week or so to make sure it doesn't go stale on me from hurricane season. I'm hoping we don't have any big hurricanes hit this year or next, but if they do, at least we have something to help stay a bit more comfortable if one comes and the power goes out.

Powerful generator for the price. Started right up out of the box and easy to use. Not too loud and easy to move around.

Seems like a solid unit with great features and specifications. Excited to try it out but need to get damage to air cleaner resolved (arrived cracked with hole in housing). Hoping for a quick resolution. Looking forward to being able to power my home during the next power outage!

I recently bought a travel trailer and needed 30amp power. This generator has the outlet. It also has an electric start which is important to me
