Bought this awhile back and have used it for two power failures in my neighborhood. Ran on regular unleaded gas for several hours without running out. I guess about 10+ hours or more before refilling. Easy to assemble and the built in wheels and foldable handle make it easier to move. This is a heavy generator so if you're a small person, you may need someone to help. I'm 6'2" and it wasn't a problem for me but you will need to take care when moving it as it takes a little strength. Remote star fob is handy but I used the start button.Looking forward to having an electrician install a transfer switch to my house so I can hook up to house using single 50 amp cord to run A/C, fridge and freezer and a few lights without having to run separate cords.
Other than going back and forth with customer service trying to find a reason that this generator won’t run on gas….for the past 8 months….everything is going well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, thank you for your purchase, we are sorry to hear that you have had issues with running your generator on gasoline! This sounds like the carburetor has created a bit of varnish on it, leading it to not be able to push gasoline into the engine. Please contact us at 1-855-944-3571 or support@wpowereq.com and we will be able to get you the help you need! Thank you, Zach - Westinghouse
Bought this 6 months ago and didn't really need it until now. Had been using the provided trickle-charger to keep it ready for use. Big storm came through and power was out for 72 hours. This unit powered all of my refrigerators and a freezer with ease. Electric start is essential once you reach my age and it worked perfectly. Also runs on propane. Comes with a hose to hook up directly to a standard tank. And it has a remote-start fob which should come in handy this winter. Very happy with this purchase so far.
The is the second one in two weeks. The other was damaged. This one started up immediately after completing the instructions on start up. We will be breaking it in for a few hours using 1/2 the watts at first. We'll know better after running this for at least 5 hours.
