I bought this generator about 2 months ago in preparation for the winter months. The overall setup was fairly easy. It is a somewhat heavy piece of machinery, so keep that in mind. I have not had the chance to use it, but it does seem to be sturdy and decently built.
Acheter en prévision des panne de courant de plus en plus fréquente et 2 semaines après mon achat, nous en avons eu une. J'étais bien content d'avoir ma nouvelle génératrice. J'ai branché le tout et je pouvais continuer de travailler de la maison. Très facile à brancher.
This generator comes with a remote control and that doesn’t make sense. You can’t start or stop the engine unless you physically attach or detach the electrical connection according to the operations manual. Also if running on propane you have to manually turn off the propane gas valve to stop flow. If you simply press start or stop on the remote without making the physical changes you run the risk of damaging the generator and in the case of propane you run the risk of creating a substantial gas leak. I ask Westinghouse what does the remote accomplish?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, thank you for your feedback! The remote start and stop are based off customers not needing to manually start the generator and for when it is being ran off of gasoline. If there is anything we can do to help, please reach out to us at 1-855-944-3571 or support@wpowereq.com. Thank you, Zach - Westinghouse
Great user friendly generator. Right from the box I had no trouble putting on wheels and knowing where oil goes and how everything works. It’s heavy but the wheels that come with it are enough to push it around.
This is a life saver with many power outages this is a strong well built unit. Runs everything but the stove in my house. I'm not dreading the next outage and with the remote control makes it that much easier to use.
