Was really looking forward to this generator. I figured the Westinghouse brand would provide a generator that exceeded my expectations however the unit would not start (blister on my middle finger to prove it). After 3 calls to support and doing everything that they recommended, I was left with "You will need to contact a service center after registration is complete". This is not an acceptable answer for a new unit out of the box. With the carburetor apart (one of their recommendations) I decided to coat it with carburetor cleaner. This rectified my problem and the unit started in two pulls. Not sure what the problem was but sure wish WH would have a better QA/QC process. I have run the unit every day since and it seems to be working as expected thus the 3 stars in lieu of the initial one. I'll revise my review once I am convinced that it was a fluke and continues to work as expected
We bought 2 to try it out for a camper and see if it would run our ac and how loud it was when it did, coming from a generac gp3300 that was well above loud. We've come to the conclusion westinghouse is our choice from here on out.
I Bought this generator because of the great reviews, ease of starting, and perfect for dry camping, had a low price compared to more expensive gen sets starting with a H.
I took the generator out of the box, did everything the directions said. It will run fine until I put a load on it, then it shuts down. Not happy at all!!
