Worked great first time then tried to start and the pull cord will not work. Called Westinghouse and they are replacing Recoil. Not sure when it will arrive.
Bought a year ago, just in case we have to face a hurricane. Never knew we would be using it soon. (thanks to IAN). Started easily and provided enough power for basic needs. This is the first time we had used any generator. Excellent product.
Well boxed and shipped directly to house. Like the screw in funnel for adding oil, no spills. Kept the oil bottle to refill for future changes. Added 1 quart of gas and ran for 1.5 hours on eco mode. Switched eco off and it ran for another 50 minutes. My biggest amp draw hand tool is a circular saw. Turned it on, not in eco mode, and the red light flickered for 1/2 second as saw started. Not concerned about that. This will be used sparingly to take to rentals if power needed and no one home. Weight is easily manageable for this 65 year old. I have a bigger generator if compressors and big saws needed but it's close to 100 lbs., and I now need ramps to get it loaded...About amp/watt draw of various items. I recommend you buy a kill-a-watt meter to check your household items, published running watts for many things are ridiculously high. My 2 year old fridge draws 8 watts sitting, 110 with compressor running and a 410 twice a day, for 30 minutes each, when the defrost cycle kicks in. My power strip with 52" tv, modem and router draws less than 100 watts. LED light bulbs are 10/15 watts. My 20" box fan on high is 60 watts. If needed this little generator will run quite a lot. Again, strongly recommend buying a kill-a-watt for actual amp/watt draw of your items.
I bought this a year ago to charge boat batteries. Worked great and ran very quiet, the neighbor’s house 200 feet away never heard it. Then Hurricane Ian struck. I used it to power two large refrigerators , a coffee maker and charge countless phones with plenty of power left. It ran about 13 hours on one tank of gas. I ran it continuously for 5 days without any problems. It ran so well two of my guest for the week each bought one. I plan on buying another so I can run them in parallel and power more appliances.
