Just received and have run through the start-up and break in period. Plan to take on a elk hunting trip in Montana. Ran it through the breaking period here in Georgia at 1000ft elevation have purchased and waiting on delivery of a high altitude from Westinghouse. Just ran it connected to a large fan in my shop during the break-in period occasionally turning the fan on and off and running at different speeds. It did have an initial whine in the generator but believe by breaking it in correctly the whining is a thing of the past as it no longer is apparent.
Likes: - Compact package, - low noise, - ease of starting, - overall design and appearance. Simple and straight forward is a good thing.
Yet to be determined: Longevity, ruggedness, performance in colder climate at high elevations. Looking forward to testing it in Montana and using on other fishing, hunting and camping expeditions.
Thus far this looks like a real value item compared to others for the money spent.
After looking long and hard we bought this to take with us to use at an historic old home with no electricity. Coal oil lanterns provide light and ambiance but we need a generator to power two cPap machines and charge other devices. This was perfect! It was easy to transport and set up. I can imagine there might be other situations where the power is out and we need a reliable source of power. We would definitely recommend this product!
Bought this to power a TV and other small accessories at tailgate and it has done its job well. It is relatively quiet and fuel efficient. It's lightweight and easy to start. I'd recommend this to others looking for a good generator.
We bought this on our way to camp for the weekend! We were pleasantly surprised at how well it powered our RV for everything we needed and it ran smoothly and was quiet enough to not cause disruption of those around us!
Recently purchased this device to keep boat batteries charged when power is not available on weekend trips. Looking forward to trying it out. Setup was quick and starting it was smooth and easy.
