Westinghouse 6600 Watt Home Backup Portable Generator, Remote Electric Start with Auto Choke, Transfer Switch Ready, RV Ready, CO Sensor

Purchased for a family member who needed a power source when they had none. They live in an RV. Ran like a champ, and was heavily used, no complaints. Starts easy, kicks up to meet demand.

Exactly as Advertised. Shipped and received in perfect order. Easy to assemble wheels. Simple to start and use.

Received generator today, packaging was very good with and arrived with no damage damage. Read the manual (very good manual) and got it all set up. So far all thing are good. Will write more when iI run it more.

This generator has been great overall. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's pretty loud. If noise isn't a concern, I'd have no problem giving it a perfect rating. Performance-wise, it's been excellent. I ran it for about 8 hours straight without a single issue, and it never skipped a beat. It starts easily, provides reliable power, and does exactly what it's supposed to do. One thing to be aware of is that it's very heavy. Getting it in and out of the truck is definitely a two-person job unless you're big and strong like me. Once it's in place, though, it's rock solid. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase. Reliable, powerful, and well-built. If they could make it a little quieter, it would be just about perfect.

Easy assembly and hookup

After lots of comparing available 6600W generators I went with the WGen 5300c mainly because of the electric and remote start. Amazon delivered within 2 days without any transport damage. Putting on the wheels and feet and fill the provided oil via provided funnel was pretty simple. Purchased 5gal gas can, premium gas, Sta-bil and filling the tank was no problem. Purchased a 25ft 30A 4prong 240V extension cord that splits into four 120V household outlets to plug in extension cords from 2 fridges w freezers, several heating lamps for our reptiles, TV, internet and other electronics in a surge protection outlet as well as a space heater in case we lost power. If we needed the airfryer, toaster or water kettle I just unplug the kitchen fridge and plug in the appliance one at a time so the available 5300W should be more than enough. The generator started at first try with the remote start at no load. It is loud but not as loud as expected. 87decibel right in front of it, 76 decibel about 30ft away. Can’t hear it when I am in the house. Ran it for 30min with different low loads on first day. On the second day of break-in (28F) I tried the electric and remote start but not enough battery power.(Guess I have to charge the battery with the provided charger). Started the generator instead easily (5ft6 female) with the recoil and ran for another 30min on low load for break in. Plan on running it only for 30-60min every day this week for the 5h break-in not to annoy my neighbors too much. And then we should hopefully be all set for the next power outage. Very happy with the result. UPDATE: runs about 8hs with a full 4.8 gal tank of premium gas (always add Stabil to gas can when getting gas at gas station). We always have an extra filled 5gal gas can so we are set for about a day and night with power. Keep your battery charged with the supplied charger. Check weekly. It does not start when battery is dead. And if there is a bad storm coming, I set it up, covered under patio table with 240V cord plugged in and I only need to attach the extension cords in the house when it rains or snows. I‘d rather put it away the next day if no loss of power than set it up again in pouring rain.😱

DO NOT ORDER IT!!!! Warranty is crap not true at all. This crap I ordered a while back and kept it for emergency. I turned it on for two hours and it started burning up and a piece started turning black!! Smelling like smoke. Engine busted sounded awfulllll welding was terribly done that I could even put in the tire. The back was bend. The tire floppy and out of place. When turning on the motor tries turning off. Some parts are not even fitted in properly. I called for almost a whole week sent emails like crazy for money back and nothingggggg no helppppp from Westinghouse nothinggg 0 customer service was trash absolute helpless here. 0/10

Awesome generator, works great and love the electric start
