This generator performs exactly like generators priced twice as much. You can beat the price and customer service is top notch!

Having some issues with my 10 year old Honda 2000i, and went for the Westinghouse 2500. Same size and weight, way more power, lower price, 3 year warranty. Plus hour meter, fuel gauge and output indicator. Great value.

Great price for the power

Just got it and havn't used it yet but can't wait. It's better than having an over 200 lb generator and finding a place to store it. Was about to buy the Ryobi but this has more power for the same price.

Tested it on two refrigerators just to check it out. No problem. Runs quiet. Plan to use it for next weather related power outage along with my condo neighbor to run refrigerators, fans, phone charging, etc.

New in box. 9/19/2017 made 1st oil and fuel fill. Noticed residual of oil on stick before any fill. Is that normal? Attempted 1st startup same day, 9/19/2017. After several pulls, gasoline ran out of unit and all over driveway. Float bowl drain screw was open (per advice from online chat). Instructions do not ever mention to check the float bowl drain screw before startup. It is only opened to drain the gas. Closed screw, aired out generator with fans for several hours as well as cleaned driveway. Unfortunately, wife came out at this time and you can only imagine her concern. The entire back of the house smelled like gasoline. She was now calling the city recycling to see if they would promptly haul the generator away as I am at the same time trying to reach Westinghouse tech support. Next startup is now successful, however still makes some odd deep puff sounds during idling? Is this normal? Ran with no load for 30 minutes. Added about 330 watts for over an hour, then added and ran a small 5,000 btu a/c for over an hour. Slowly removed loads and let gen idle for 5-10 minutes. Still noticed deep puff sounds during the idling. Final step, turned gen dial to off, but unit would not turn off. Finally turned dial to choke and system sputtered off. I think I need a replacement and it must be guaranteed new. I have too much concern and suspicion about this unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
