Purchased hoping for whole or nearly whole house capability. Just ran a test. Started first attempt, let warm up then changed house over to the generator via the 50A connection to transfer switch. Slowly added AC, water heater, stove and entire electric panel. It handled everything! Very pleased.
We just came out of a 3 day power outage in 90 degree heat. We have a small 3000w inverter that we used to keep the fridge and freezer going but we melted in the heat. This is going to be a life saver. We watched numerous videos, read tons of reviews and couldn't find any cons to this unit. We just got it today, synced the remote which it fired on the first press. I have friends that paid much more for less power with Dewalt or Champion and one friend that has the same unit and raved about it. And it was on a job site my son worked on and he said it worked fantastic. You can't beat the price for this much power. I am very excited and happy with this purchase!
I got this last week and it is big enough for me to run my lights and my Well pump, and an AC unit. When my electricity goes out, I have no Water to flush toilet or for drinking due to being on an electric Well. This will supply all the amps and volts and watts I will need to alternate running the Well and the AC. The Well only needs to run a few times in the day to pump up pressure in the tank. No more have to save water in gallon milk cartons just to flush the commode. Thank You Westinghouse! And running on propane is a bonus.
