the voltage sometimes tends to wander and getting a replacement voltage regulator seems very hard. I have yet to find a westinghouse parts section. when I get that fixed I think it will work very well as a backup generator.
This generator ran great at lower altitudes, but difficulties in the mountains. Working with service who has been responsive so far... Will update with the final resolution and adjust the rating appropriately....
Out the box item is brand new no dings no scratches. Putting the wheels on was easy. Weight is manageable. Purchased as a backup for a home if my inverter goes bad. Battery already seemed to be connected, I noticed when instructions led me to battery install. Fingers crossed my next review will be how it ran on propane. Don't really plan on running gas through this thing, but a good backup.
Follow the instructions... Add oil, attach propane, hit start (actually I had to pull started, I don't think the battery was charged enough to push button start). Done. Haven't had a chance to really use it yet, but I'm sure I will when PGE cuts off our power.
I bought this item a week ago and will be installing the 140567 - High Altitude Carburetor Kit and the 140560 High Altitude Regulator Kit (Elevation 6300). The High Altitude Carburetor Kit was a different part number than manual suggests but service@wpowereq.com helped me get the right one. Very nice generator, will be put to use soon for our RV.
