I use this generally to run my pressure washer and air compressor, at the same time charging my batteries and running my vacuum. Also great for camping in your mobile home.
Can't say right now how the unit will hold up. It did start right up and powered items (tools) fine. My rating is really based on the warranty servcie. The unit arrived damaged (a warped brace prevented assembling the wheels). When I called, I actually had a live person answer the phone who spoke English. I called on a weekend and tech service was only availble M-F, but Monday another live person called me back, took the details. When I connected with an actual tech person, he recognized the problem (I had sent pictures) and offered choice of a replacement part or a whole new unit-( I choose the new unit, since I was afraid that the shipping damage might extend beyond the warped brace). It took him a couple of days to get approval (due to illness on part of his manager), but he came through and I recived a new unit that same week. He also sent a prepaid Fed Ex shipping label, so I just put the damaged unit into the replacment unit box, and the next day it was gone back to Westinghouse. I hope not to have to call for service again, but feel confident that if I do need them- they will be there.
The Wgen3600 is just the right size for my small travel trailer. I have a Cougar 217 SW with a cargo rack on the rear bumper. It fits the rack perfectly and leaves me 100 lbs of additional equipment within the rated load carrying capacity of the rack. Plenty of power to run the single AC unit when needed. Adding this made me completely ready to boondock. Very happy camper!
