I originally purchased this generator several months ago after pouring and researching through many reviews, suggestions, and comparisons. I was looking for a dependable generator to handle the Texas extreme weather changes and Westinghouse seemed to be the most recommended from other users.
I let this generator sit in my garage, as life happens and I got busy with other projects. Three months later, I pulled it out to give it a dry run for the inclement weather we are about to receive here. I filled the oil (which was provided) and gas. It should be noted this particular model arrived with a FOB key, which I paired up and pressed the "start" button. To my excitement, it fired up on the first start. I let it run for several minutes while I grabbed my generator cord and hooked it up to a power inlet I have outside my house. I connected the generator to my 3,000+ sq foot house and walked inside to put it under a load. It performed flawlessly.
A great product and very happy thus far with this purchase. Highly recommended and you can't go wrong with a Westinghouse generator.
I am impressed with this Generator right out of the box. Super easy to assemble the wheel and rubber foot kit. the fold down handle is perfectly balaced for rolling the unit into place. Rugged build, clear well-organized control panel with lots of outlets from 20a to 50a. Filled it with oil [supplied] and non-ethanol fuel [best to use] hooked up the battery [so easy] flipped the choke to ON, pushed the starter button and it fired right up!! After less than a minute in 40 degree temps, the choke automatically released and the engine ran smoothly and powerful. NA the noise level was not as loud as my old generator. I'm happy so far and will keep y'all posted if this thing fails but I can tell it is a good unit.
First generator I have ever purchased and it couldn't have been easier to unbox and turn on. It started up right away and love that you can easily switch between gas or propane.
