Good features & components

We literally just unboxed the generator so this review will not include usage information. Upon delivery the box was very sturdy and not easily punctured. All extra components were easily identified though not all items are located in the component box. The fob was attached to the instrument panel and the natural gas hose was in a bag within the frame. Both were easily found.
Installing feet and wheels was easy but you need someone with strength to lift onto props (of course). My recommendation is to use same the letters in the content list as the instructions. So if the hitch pin is "D" on the list, use "D" in the instructions.
The rest of the instructions look easy to follow even for those unfamiliar with small engines.
We are purchasing this generator for use as a backup when power is out long term. We will be installing a transfer switch and a connection for our gas line for flexible use.
Despite all efforts it will still not run on gasoline. Westinghouse sent new carb, still won't run. I'd just like my money back. BTW, my neighbor bought one same time I did....same exact problem. Totally unreliable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I researched several comparable generators to run my home during a crises but this one came out to be the clear winner and that was before I even considered that it was one of the least expensive of the ones in its class. Now that I have it I can also say that it looks to be well made and the remote start and stop feature is a nice bonus.
