No issues starting generator. It was ACTUALLY tested at the factory (oil and gas were drained properly for delivery). This is a very commendable feature since returning a generator of this size is a real pain in the (!$) which I had to do since a competitor does not (and it even boasted EFI fuel system trouble free, not). I will be installing a transfer switch to take advantage of the 50 amp output at 240 vac.
Bought this generator because it's dual fuel. Really like the propane feature. Ran great right out of the box. Have had good luck with Westinghouse products.
I haven't had to use it yet but its perfect for running my appliances. For the size of it it's very easy to maneuver. I like that all the plugs have water tight covers
