Love the ease of operation

I bought this for my fifth wheel for travel when power is not available. Very handy that I don't need a 30amp adapter and I don't have to mess with the choke like my other small generators I had, and I don't have to worry about paralleling 2 gens. This one has an awesome handle that comes out of the bottom in the front and I can move it easily by myself even through the gravel. I do need my husband to help me lift it on and off the rack on the back of my trailer but once it's there it stays there for the trip as it's around 110lbs. The remote start is great for early mornings when I want coffee but don't want to have to go out and pull start a couple of generators. It has remote start or push button start, auto choke so you don't have to mess with that, and if all else fails you can pull start it. Noise level is nice - quieter than my 2 small gens that I had paralleled even under load. The digital displays are nice for knowing just where you are at. Very happy with the purchase so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far not great

I took out of box set up and it started right away ran for the 5 hour break in period. The next time I went to use it was while camping and wouldn't start tries troubleshooting in the field with no success. When I got home got the manual out and followed the troubleshooting steps after a hour or working on it I found the choke wasn't staying set and it fired up. It could be q better generator than 2 stars but have no idea since I couldn't use it and if i need to disassemble everytime I use it then it's garbage

I did a lot of research before purchasing this product. The power output and remote start were the key features that attracted me. The Westinghouse name and service network convinced me to make this purchase.

Great build quality.

This unit does what it is intended to do and is very quiet. The model # needs to be more distinguished from the dual fuel model, in my opinion. I bought this one by mistake.

Best features for price

Quicker than advertised shipping. Would not start out of the box until I connected the automatic choke wire that everyone mentions comes loose during shipping. 10 minutes of pulling panels, connecting the loose connection and putting panels back on and it ran really well. Very impressed with initial quality. More power for considerably less money than a Honda.
