It is a solid well built machine that truly lives up to the Westinghouse name. Starts easy and runs strong. I use it to run a boat lift and the remote is invaluable.
Started up first try with the remote. Running it through the 5 hour break in period as the manual says. I will see how it goes once I put a load on it. I like it so far.
I love the versatility and the simplicity of using this generator. Being able to use either gasoline or propane is great, plus it also has a pull cord starter in case you let your battery accidentally run out. It also has a remote starter that allows you to stay inside to start your generator up in case of a power failure. I feel much more relaxed knowing that I'll be prepared now for the brutal, unpredictable weather we endure in the northeast.
After attaching the rubber stand offs and the wheels I put in the supplied oil. Had to add a little more from another bottle as the supplied bottle didn't quite fill all the way. Pulled down the wiring for the battery and connected it. Added a few gallons of gas and it fired up almost immediately. Seems to work great so far. Nice to have a backup power source for those power interruptions.
