Thank you for your review. Please contact us with your contact information at WestinghouseVIP@wpowereq.com and we will reach out to address your concerns.
Bought 2 of these about a year ago, start up on first or second pull every time I need it. I run ethanol free gas in it to ensure the carb doesn't gum up. Runs smooth, I run random power tools off it but don't push it too hard. Never had any issues so far.
Wouldn't start out of the box until I read a review that said if you follow the Westinghouse direction of tightening the gas cap until it "clicks" the generator will be air starved. Sure enough. it started right up. The unit is also noisier than I expected-difficult to hold a conversation 25 feet away when at 75% power. BUT the unit seems well built, can be carried and boosted into an RV storage compartment using both hands and the display panel is great. I also think this is the perfect size to run the 15,000 BTU A/C and still have some battery charging ability left over. I hope to have a long, trouble-free relationship with it.
