So far reliable, quiet, easy to transport

I've used it for multiple track days running tire warmers and my AC, a friend has used it to operate portions of his house this winter during a multi-day outage and it's just worked. I'd like to see just a bit longer surge capacity as my AC is a bear to hot start but that's not the generator's fault. My only operational issue so far is the fuel level float arm either doesn't have enough bouyency or there is too much drag on the setup. I have to use a bent wire to pull the float up with each fill up, it reads the falling tank level fine but doesn't reset on it's own when you top off.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Powerful, but Quiet

I purchased this generator specifically because of it's higher than competition wattage range (for generators in the same class/style). The reason I need the higher wattage is because I have a camp set up at 2,800' above sea level, but I also want to use it at home which is about 600' above sea level. Each manufacturer (including Honda and Yamaha) indicate the percentage of power loss for each 1000' of elevation gain. Some manufacturers account for this by requiring that the end-user take the generator to an authorized dealer for a "carburetor adjustment kit" which changes the operation so that the generator only runs at high altitude. That power loss would not allow me to run all the items I want at my camp and the carb kit wouldn't let me run the generator at home. I simply needed a bigger generator and didn't want to move up to 3100W for portability and cost reasons. This generator's wattage size is perfect for me. I followed the instructions for filling the oil and gas with no problem. I could have started the generator on the first pull but decided to give a couple of rotations to work the new oil throughout the motor. I held off on the second pull, but nearly started the machine again. I only pulled a little bit on the third pull and it fired right up. I have heard the Hondas and the Yamahas in person, and they are quiet. But in my estimation, this unit is just as quiet in idle/power-saver mode. The generator obviously gets louder when drawing more current. I tested the power capacity with a 13A/120v benchtop table saw with an induction motor; generator had no problem starting and running the saw even when I made some demanding cuts. At full power, the saw was much louder than the generator. For me, the 2200/2500W is a requirement that no other manufacturer can meet in this machine class/type. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it is. Finally, the price-point on this amount of wattage and portability was also a factor.

Bought this unit for tailgating and couldn't be more pleased(Go Vols)! Took 12 pulls to start initially, starts on the first pull ever since. Pleased with how quite it is. My friends who own a Yamaha and a Honda have been very impressed with this unit.

Starts on the first pull, enough power to run my Travel Trailer A/C and lighting, fridge etc. Quiet operation and 1/2 the cost of the competitor.

Great Generator

Verified Purchase:No
Very reliable. I keep up with the maintenance, follow the instructions and works perfectly as advertised. I connect a refrigerator, fan, lights and a tv with no problems, and is quite; the efficiency button reduces the noise level even more. This is the fourth generator I have bought from westinghouse. This generator meet all my requirements of price, noise, weight, fuel consumption and portability.
