So Far so Good

I bought the generator to use with my RV camper and it arrived just in time for a March 2 Nor'easter in PA where I lost house power for 2 days. After adding oil and gas, it started on first pull. It is quiet at 25% load or less but much more noticeable above that. I have no previous experience with other inverter generators to compare noise levels though. I ran it 20 hours and changed oil. Oil was moderately dirty, nothing I took exception to. Added Mobil 1 oil and ran another 8 hours with no issue. So far I'm happy with my purchase.
I just rec'd the generator today (3-5-18), I ordered it on 2-27-18. Initial emails said delivery would be on 3-12-18 - so it arrived a week early (I'm impressed) I have not had the opportunity to start up yet and as I will be out of town for the next several days, I will start it up when I get back on Sunday 3-11-18. I look forward to using it, and if I am able to post a follow up review, I will.
I purchased this generator to run my Rockwood Mini-light 2109S travel trailer. It has a 13.5K BTU air conditioning system. It was actually able to start the AC with no modifications but I am at 340 feet above sea level. I purchased the Micro-Air soft start for the air conditioner and now this generator can run the AC even in econo-mode. The generator is very quiet and spools up instantly when needed. This generator has an LED display that tells how much power you're drawing, how much fuel is left, voltage and how much run time you have at any given power setting. The only thing it is missing is a hobbs meter but this unit beats the Honda 2000 in power and has more features. The only question I couldn't get an answer for is the type of cylinder (Cast iron or other?). So far, I can't speak highly enough of this generator. Westinghouse has been around for a long time. Parts shouldn't be a problem... 3 year warranty. DO IT!!
