I purchased this after losing power for a week during Hurricane Ian. This year with Hurricane Helene and Milton there was again extended power loss. This generator powered my entire home (minus the A/C unit) for 7 days. Maintenance was quick and easy limiting down time.Run time on a full tank at about 75% was 10+ hours. It was so simple to operate, my wife did it. Highly recommend
Potentially a Good Generator, only time will tell.

At this time I am only giving a 3 star. Due to the fact that I can not manually start it with the pull cable when using propane. It will start manualy with the pull cable on gasoline with more than usual effort, then I would expect. But it will start at least manually on gas. I would like to give it a 5 star rating, but I am concerned about it not starting on propane using the manual pull cable. I would expect something better new right out of a box. Even the excessive effort to start it manually on gasoline. It starts with the starter and with remote key, both on propane and on gasoline. It seems to run really good and holds a good heavy load, which I'm impressed, at least about holding a load.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this Westinghouse Generator in May 2024 for use at our outdoor wedding. It Great features did what was expected: worked fabulous for my outdoor wedding all the music and lighting lasting the anticipated 12 hours. It has since provided me with electric on remote areas of my farm. I'm very happy to have made this investment. My only negative is the weight of the generator. Michele
