Generator doesent start
on July 12, 2018
Posted by: cordell
from Peyton, Colorado
Generator would not start straight out of the box. i got online and read the bulletin stating a wire on the control module may become disconnected during shipping. Followed all of the instructions and the automatic choke is still not working properly. I have to constantly remove the side access panel and manually engage the choke every time. im going to call customer service and let them know the issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have not used yet, still putting together. The 30amp plug is upside down. Working out to flip it. We will see if it is as quiet as the more expensive hondas.
I would recommend this to a friend!

ONCE IT STARTS ITS GREAT

from PAYSON, AZ.
I BOUGHT IT FOR MY TRAVEL TRAILER. I LIKE THE REMOTE START, THE WHEELS AND HANDEL. IT RUNS 12,500 A/C & MICROWAVE AT THE SAME TIME. IT IS QUIET & I LIKE THE 30 A PLUG. THE AUTO CHOKE DOES NOT WORK! TO START IT YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE SIDE PANEL & WITH A SCREW DRIVER CLOSE THE CHOKE.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Data panel malfunctioning
on July 9, 2018
Posted by: NC Navy
from Carrboro, NC
Data panel malfunctioning. No fuel quantity or time remaining info. Just purchased for 4th of July outing. Started right up and ran 15 hours. Power output seems a bit low as I can't pull all equipment off generator that I can on 30 amp shore power service. Customer service seems responsive so far, so I will update this after I get warranty service, though it is frustrating to reload this new (heavy) gen back in the car and drive it 100 miles to a service center. Also quite irritating that the cover is no longer a bonus item though it is still sold on Westinghouse website. The literature in the box still says a cover is a bonus option for reviewing your purchase. Who wants a powerstrip? Not a great idea to disappoint a customer about to write a review....
I would recommend this to a friend!
