Upon unboxing I was impressed. Got the feet and wheels on in minutes. Added the oil, gas, and went to connect the battery, but it was already connected. The battery was very weak and needed charged. Charged it over night and its fine now. It was VERY hard to start for the first time, The choke isnt operating completely right. I am going to call tech support today and have them advise. It doesnt fully go to the start position. After I manually set the choke to start the unit started ok. Overall happy with the purchase thus far.
Purchased in June and received July 8th. Decided to go ahead and start up to make sure it worked. Put in gas and oil, pushed the Start button, automatically tried to start the generator, cycled twice and no start. I finally checked closer and the choke was not engaged. Corrected and pushed Start and....it started running. I love the push button start and the Key Fob Remote Start...it really works. I let it run about 15 minutes, shut it down, restarted it about 30 minutes later and it was so easy...just push the Start button or the button on the Key Fob and it started on the second try. Due to Covid-19, I am waiting on the electrician to get it installed to an outside 50 amp box which will connect it to my breaker box in the garage and will also have a special breaker installed so there will be a seamless transfer in case we have a power outage, which is likely since I live in Florida and we have hurricanes. I thoroughly researched generators for months because I have never owned one. This Westinghouse generator is highly rated and recommended. It is rated to run the house A/C as well as refrigerator, lights, etc. Will have to follow directions to properly used when I get everything installed.
I bought this for emergences but haven't had a chance to use long term yet. Setup was super quick and easy. I'm only using propane and it fired up the first time. Build quailty looks real good. Love all the power options it proves.

I just received the new generator attached the wheels and rubber feet in about 15 minutes..I filled the crankcase with oil the tank with gas and it started on th first push of the start button. I am ready for hurricane season!!
