Just opened the box. My husband did all the recommended actions to operate the generator ( adding oil, adding gas, checking spark plug). This little machine started right away WITHOUT using the choke. We let it run for a good while without any issues. The eco mode makes it a bit quieter. It hasn’t been used for the main reason i bought it: run a well water pump ( 1.5HP) in case of power outage. It is in another location. so i will update this review. But so far i like it: easy to start, not too heavy for me to carry. The pictures in the manual are very well done and easy to understand. Instructions easy to follow.
This generator was not only a great price it is powerful and very easy to use. We considered a few other ones but are very happy with the ease and portability of this product.
I purchased this unit after watching 2 freezers defrost during a 16 hour power failure. Never again. Not only does this unit generate the power for big items it will also charge my home electronics. The dual fuel option is especially attractive, and easy to switch between fuels. Great for home back up but small enough to take camping. Highly recommended.
I bought this based on price and features as a backup for my RV. Although the quick start information wasn't packaged in the box as it is supposed to be, the owners manual helped me get it started. It started and ran fine but I haven't really used it under load. I struggled getting it registered since the address Westinghouse provides simply dumps you into their website and without a dropdown for registration, you have to look all over for the registration page.
