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

Awesome generator, works great and love the electric start

Easy set up start first time

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.😱

Runs well and has a quite noise level compared to other generators I have had. Documentation that came with the generator s excellent. Only assembly required was the wheel kit, not hard at all.

I bought the generator for the push button start, I am too old to pull the handle to start. The assembly instructions were good. The oil thing is under the generator, and the included funnel is not great, lots of leakage, use towels. The instructions did not say how much oil to put in, but it was the whole bottle (included). The instructions did not include charging the battery, but the adapter was included, and there is a place on the front to plug it in. Anyway it turned out the battery came charged. The step by step start up instructions were pretty understandable. I started it on the first try. Something not in the manual, my father said it is important to use ethanol free gas, if you are just using it when storms take out the power, so the gas won't get old and do some separating stuff and won't be good when you need it. I have not used the generator yet, besides starting it up, but looks good.

Arrived on time, no issues, love the remote start feature

This generator is very well built and easy to get ready to use. Smaller in size than my older unit with more power. Replacing a older McCulloch 5700W that does not run. New unit has more wattage.

Just got this generator before the big ice storm. Very easy set up and started right up with the REMOTE ignition. So far, so good! Our neighbor is a maintenance worker for the city and he was impressed.
