Review: Great whole-house generator at a great price - I purchased the Westinghouse WGen5300V generator after a lot of research and careful consideration and I am very happy with the purchase. For context, our house is 2600 sqft and we have mostly electric appliances. Given the frequency of power outages (we have above-ground lines and live in the Southeast US where hurricanes and tornadoes aren't a rarity - we had 6 outages lasting more than an hour in the past calendar year), I wanted something to power the house during extended outages. Initially I was looking at the WGen7500 for our house, which if we wanted to run all electric appliances within the house we would need, but after using a number of generator power calculators and reviewing data from my meter, I determined I could power enough of the house to be comfortable while minimizing cost (i.e. I shut off the breakers for the hot water heater, HVAC, and washer dryer and can power the house's outlets, refrigerator, lights, TVs, and computers). I also like that this unit is pull-start as the larger/more expensive models have a remote start, which while convenient, adds weight, cost, and complexity. The generator itself arrived pretty quickly all things considered. Assembly was very straightforward, and as others have mentioned, the documentation is very good on how to convert the unit from a bonded neutral to a floating neutral. It even comes with a bottle of the exact amount of 10W-30 oil you need. After attaching the feet and wheels, filling the oil, and filling the gas tank, following the instructions I started it up (again, well detailed and straightforward). I let it run for the specified break-in period with no load, then hooked it up to the house and confirmed it's able to power everything we need. The display on the generator itself is pretty handy to see the frequency and voltage output. The only criticism I have echoes that of other reviews in that the unit arrive with a slightly dented alternator cover. Not a big deal, but it did make switching the unit from bonded neutral to floating neutral a tad more difficult as to do so, you have to remove the cover. A bit of elbow grease and a pry bar did the trick, so no major issue. All in all, I'd highly recommend this generator to anyone looking for a (partial) home power backup solution and I imagine it will be more than enough for even pretty large RVs.
Review: Sturdy little workhorse of a generator - Updated 10-30-2020: This generator worked fantastically overnight as our home lost power during Zeta. It’s now at a family member’s home whose power was not restored yesterday. Worth the investment. Original review: We’ve been wanting to get a generator for a while because where we live in rural Alabama poses issues for power outages from hurricanes and other severe weather episodes. This generator is fantastic. Some friends have the fancy permanent version that automatically switches over when the power goes out, but we wanted one like this that would be portable so we could transport to other areas of our property and travel with if desired. We have a roughly 2000 sq ft home with all the standard electronics and appliances. When we received the unit, we turned everything on in stages and measured the output to see how much the generator could handle. It hummed along and never faltered. The only thing (and we knew this in advance based on calculations) it won’t carry is the start-up load of the air handling unit’s compressor. However, we didn’t expect it to and have planned to run fans instead of the large, whole-house unit. My husband and family members were well-versed on how to install using a 4 prong outlet attached to our exterior panel breakers and the special cord to connect it. I do recommend following the instructions on the unit and using non-ethanol gas (we’ve learned the hard way on how ethanol does damage to small engines). When in use for alternate home power source, the generator sits outside about 20 feet away from the house and is right outside our master suite with only a bathroom separating it from our bedroom. We cannot hear it over our usual nightly bedroom fan, and even with it off, it’s just a pleasant hum. Very pleased!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can the Wgen 5300 with a 279cc engine produce almost as many watts as the Wgen 5500 with the 420cc  ?, wont that shorten the life of the 279cc ?**
A: I cannot speak to your backup electrical needs, but I purchased the Wgen 3600 unit - to be used only in the event of a temporary power outage.  Were you planning on running a generator continuously - or just now and again?  How much power draw were you expecting the generator to produce?  If you are concerned about the CC capacity of the 5300 model, then go ahead and purchase the 5500.

**Q: Can the 5-20r outlets be used at the same time as the L14-30R? I want to plug the unit into a transfer switch but also be able to use the 5-20r outlet**
A: Yes

**Q: where is the mode button?**
A: It's on the Data Center border (near the digital display).

**Q: Can you run a tv with this without damaging the tv?**
A: Absolutely, you can run 20 tv's if you want

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost New
*by S***C on December 26, 2021*

Bought this generator new from Amazon, delivered in box that was fine but some how the recoil cover was dented in. It looked like someone had kicked it in. As far as assembly it was easy, screwed in the rubber feet, put on the wheels and ready to go. I added oil that came with generator and poured in about 2.5 gallons of gas, start up was easy and the motor is about as loud as a push mower. I let it run for an hour with no load as recommended per manual, this is so the engine is well broken in. My only complaint is the cover on the recoil which was dented in, after a little prying with a flat head screwdriver I straightened it out somewhat. I bought this for power outage and performance and reliability, not to sit in the garage to look cute, it is a little disappointing though that I bought something new and it came damaged from factory. This seems to be a recurring problem from other reviews I have read. I bought a basic 5300v, works very well so far. Update: Feb, 2023 - I am glad i bought this generator, great design, mechanically sound, not loud and I don't throw my arm out trying to start it. I have had a couple of power outages and this comes in handy.
