This is everything that was advertised. It shipped with everything I needed to get started and hooked and performed as expected. I looks very well made.
This is a very good generator, although I had a few "issues" due to damage while in transit. Also, Axel pins were too short. Westinghouse responded immediately to remedy the situation.
Started using today, everything about was fantastic. Ease of setup, dual fuel, remote start, even the weight is a plus...set it and it doesn’t move. Got the power plus...very very happy with it thus far.
Step 1. Have an electrician install a transfer switch. This is a separate but necessary item. Step 2. Purchase a Recreational Vehicle (RV) power cord to run the power from your generator into your home. I purchased a 25 foot 50A RV power cord with twist lock from the world's most famous online retailer. Step 3. Follow the Quick Start start directions that come with the generator and you will have your generator assembled and fueled within 30 minutes. Step 4. Charge your battery for an hour. Step 5. Start your generator. Note that it took my generator 7 attempts to draw the fuel and oil from their tanks and into the engine so the generator could run. Step 6. Test your generator's ability to power your home. This generator is able to power my refrigerator, meat freezer, lights and air-conditioner (for cooling ONLY) all at the same time. I can also turn of my AC and power my oven and range. Step 7. Disconnect your generator and go to sleep knowing that you have the ability to power your home with a great dual-fuel generator that fits into the bed of a pickup truck.
