I bought this generator for our 30A service travel trailer. I wanted something quiet when we are boondocking. It is very quiet, especially when using the eco mode. It idles at a quiet purr. I really like the remote start which makes it very convenient to start/stop while still in the camper. I get approximately 15 hours of runtime with AC and other appliances running on and off.
PROS:
Quiet (Even at peak output) Watt Output Weight Digital Display Features Remote Start/Push Button Start/Pull Start Very fuel efficient (approximately 5 gallons of gas per weekend of camping)
CONS: Oil fill location Oil drain plug location Air filter location
I bought this a week ago as a replacement generator. Love that it has an inverter and is really quiet. I will look forward to using it in the years ahead.
Love this generator so far.Love the ease of startup and estimate of fuel consumption .Remote feature is nice.I am older and cannot pull start equipment anymore.I use during blackouts and camping in a full size camper and power's everything no problems.
Took about 20mins to set up, charged the battery for another 20mins and it started right up. Unit had no damage and all the controls work as they should. I ran it for about 2hrs with varing light loads with no issues. Have a camping trip planned next weekend where I will put it to the test.
After numerous attempts to start this generator for the first time, I struggled with it until I went online a couple of times and looked at pictures of what could be causing the problem. Picture was hard to see. Finally got it started after about 2 hours! Now it starts like a champ!
Just took it out of the box and followed the start up procedures and it fired right up. Pulled it outside next to my old generator and asked my wife what she thought as I started them up one at a time. My new Westinghouse generator is much quieter than my old one. I can't wait to take out camping with us to get the full experience of it. I will pull in my 32' 5th wheel as soon as I get through the break in period.
