Very good so far!

Bought this 4 months ago, and the ONLY problem I had with it was finding the serial number, which turned out to be just below the exhaust port. (Due to my own laziness I didn't get around to calling Westinghouse for help for several weeks, and then due to health and personal maneuverability reasons I had to wait till my son could help me. That was another few weeks ago, and only now am I finally getting around to registering and writing this review. NONE OF THAT is the fault of Westinghouse!) Following the simple instructions, my son helped me un-box the unit, fill the oil, add a small amount of gas and get it started. It took several tries at first, but eventually fired up and ran fine. I shut it off, waited a few minutes, and then it started again on the first try. I repeated this several times. So far I'm very confident in this generator. It runs quiet and that was important to me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

remote works great

I bought this 2 months ago, it works perfectly except that the remote stopped working after a rainy day, and I did not cover the generator. After about two weeks, I tried the remote again, and it started working again！ I like the remote , it really helped when we boon-docking our 5th wheel. I put the generator on the bed of my truck. It works great in terms of convenience (remote start), reducing weight of 5th wheel, noice level.

Great Quit Unit

I have tried a couple of other comparable units to this one and this unit seems to be quitter. I've even found this unit starts easier than the fuel injected unit i tried. The starter doesn't sound like it is laboring trying to start. It kicks right off with the remote and stays active for more than 4 hrs. in standby mode. Price wise the unit was lower than most of the others and if you shop around a little you may find it a bit cheaper as well. Very Happy so far!

This generator is so quiet. The wheels make it easy to move around.

I purchased this generator to power my new 30ft. travel trailer and it is working great. The remote start/stop fob is a good idea except I still have to go outside to turn the gas and battery on and off. Needing to change the carb jets when I need to use the generator at various altitudes is a problem that Onan corrected with just the turn of a knob. Otherwise, I am very happy with the performance. It's much quieter than the Onan 4000 I had in my Class C motor home which that alone made this purchase worth it.

I purchased this unit in January of 2021 and had no problems with the auto chock. The only negative point is the drain plug. The opening needs to be larger so you can get your hand to the drain plug, but otherwise its a great unit.
