I bought my new generator in advance of a winter storm. When the power goes out it’s great to have a secondary power source!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just bought this and assembling was a breeze. It only took me about 10 minutes from unboxing to it running. I have purchased other generators before and assembly was a nightmare. I really like the digital read out.

Does what I need it to do

I bought this generator to replace two other generators I had. Getting old takes a toll on RV campers. My old generators were pull start and didn't always start right away. Many pulls later I might get it started and have an aching back. My wife can't start it at all and wishes she could start it to run the microwave when I was away fishing. So having an electric start solved those problems. ADDING a remote start with that, means she doesn't even have to leave the RV to start it to run the AC or the microwave. At 64 dB the sound level is a bit higher than my old generator. My Honda 5000w pull start was around 56db.
My 2000w generator was so quiet but couldn't run the microwave well. It was ok for charging the batteries running lights. I replaced it with 100w solar panels and batteries. Still, the solar charging system I have can't run the microwave or the AC when I want it. My plan is to mount it on a etrailer RV bumper shelf and there it will live during the summer season. It's too heavy for me and my wife to move at 135lbs.
So I'm running it in for 5 hours with the AC at 2000w which is less than the max 2600 recommended for burn it in or <50% max rating. Changing it from AC to fan every 30 min or so to vary the load as recommended in the user manual.
So far so good. I'm running it on propane with is what I'll like use most of the time cause I don't like having my fuel go bad or rust out the gas tank and plug up the fuel lines. I forgot to drain my gas last time I used the 5k generator and it made a mess in the tank and cost me $200 to repair it. Plugged the carburetor and all the fuel filters with rust. Had I sent it to the shop it would've cost me twice that.
I was even using Stabilize to protect it but it was 2 years since I last used it. Next time I have to use gas I'll empty it like the owner manual recommends. It nice to have gas as an that option in a pinch.
Other the the weight I'm happy with my choice. I was thinking of designing a portable lift or buying one of those motor cycle lifts to store it for the off season. Maybe I can start weight lifting... ;) or not!

Just bought this and am overall impressed with it. It's my first generator ever and it looks to be very good quality. Westinghouse had been around a while and that's one reason i got it. Plus almost all the reviews were great. Can't wait to use it when i need it!
I would recommend this to a friend!
