Temporary Power during utility outage, camping, and for power tools when in remote locations. The unit fired up in a couple polls after removing from box filling with supplied oil checking spark plug air filtera and filling with fuel. Tested it with various electrical loads including multiple shop lights electric fan and a 1 hp air compressor. Has a nice display for fuel level power level voltage an estimated runtime all nice features. Verified the voltage and frequency with a true RMS fluke meter. Voltage reading was accurate within .5 V running at 121 to 122VAC and frequency was steady at 60.05 hz under varying load conditions conditions. Unit is quite quiet and had reasonable sound level at maximum load much better than older Open frame generator. Very nice and a good value compared to much more expensive Honda and Yamaha. Time will tell if it has the same sort of durability of those units.
The generator was easy to start and operate without any special effort or frustration. I just followed the instructions. I do not have a good comparison to other generators, but it does not seem too loud. We used it at a campground and it wasn't too bad. It was great to plug in the camper's plug into it and have electricity inside. It is sturdy and I like the fact that you can just lift it by the handle and carry it to wherever you want to place it. Look forward to using it more in the near future. So far I am very happy with it.
Easy to setup, start, and use. Powerful enough for my RV

Just received the generator and it arrived in great condition in a remote area of Alaska. This generator was easy to setup, and the instructions were very clear. It even came with oil. I have only run it with variable loads for the RV but I will be taking it on the jobsite very soon.
I really like the generator, looks great and started starts right up. The generator did come with a defective gas float for the fuel gauge but Westinghouse is working to fix it. So far so good!
