This is my 2nd Westinghouse inverter generator. My 1st was smaller and i needed a little more wattage. My first one is still going strong and is used a lot at my hunting camp.
Bought this a few days ago and followed the instructions to get it set up and it was easy. Now more ready in case of a power outage or just need power in a place that does not have power.
I bought this generator primarily to recharge my electric battery generators. It is more than adequate to recharge both of them with additional power to spare. The instructions provided were clear to understand. It is easy to fill and check the oil level. Changing the oil in the future should easy and clean. I connected my unit to Propane, and it started up on the first pull, which surprised me! Subsequent startups were just as easy. I plan to use only Propane so I don’t have to drain the carburetor bowl for storage. It’s nice to have the option to use gas though. On start up, I checked out the Eco feature and it idled at a lower speed as it should. The first load I put on it was an electric heater and it handled that well. It drew about 1500 W. The noise level seems moderate. It actually sounds quieter than the video provided. Well, I’m very happy with this inverter generator and will possibly buy another.
I got this to back up my fridge and freezer during power outages. After the first 5 hours of break in, it's running well so far. Starting on propane is pretty easy, and took about 4 pulls, not to different from my lawn mower. Noise level is pretty good too, not silent, but not anything to bother me. Eco mode is noticeably quieter.
Unboxing was great. Everything is included, even the oil and a funnel. So far everything is meeting my expectations.
Used for small camper. RV ready outlet + two standard outlets give it flexibility . Can power A/C or heater, TV, lights and coffee maker. Display center and CO detector are features not found on many similar priced inverters.
