on the same day of purchase i had to use it,outage for 12 hours. Powered with propane everything went good, i am really excited and proud having buying this product! would recommand it for shure!!
Bought this to replace my 20+ year old generator. More power, more features, and overall a better generator. Very easy to set up and start. Now I have only had this generator for about a week, but if it performs like my other Westinghouse products, I know I'm going to love it!
It is premature to offer a review for a machine I have used for two hours, but I apparently need to dodo in order to receive a “bonus” cover for it, and the prompt came up while completing the product registration. The machine seems well made, and it started up right away. I appreciate that it came with a quart of the oil recommended for the break in period. I like that the outlets include 240V 50A, 240V 30A, and two GFCI-protected 120V 20A duplexes. The only thing I have run with it so far or intend to run during the remainder of the break in period is my submersible water pump. The generator seems to recover operating RPM very quickly in response to the low pressures switch on the pump circuit. the machine is loud, but no more so than some smaller units from different manufacturers, and it is less irritatingly raspy than most. The organization of the owners manual is an incoherent puzzle, but most of the needed information is there if you can find it. I have no other comments this early in my experience with it.
I lost power for about 1 week after hurricane Milton, being able to use gas or propane was extremely useful. I've never had a generator before so it was a learning curve but was easy.
