We bought this for Hurricane Debby that just came over us in Suwannee County FL. It worked on propane but when we swithced to gas it would'nt start again!!! We had to go borrow a generator again even though we had bought a brand new one. Now we are lookin at another storm that could possibly head our way in a few days...and we have NO generator even though we just paid for this one in full. A little frustrated at the moment.

I've only had it a few days, so it hasn't been put to the test.... yet. The 9500 running watts and a 50A circuit are plenty to keep the lights, refigerators (yeah we have 2) and even the central air running. Come winter if we lose power we'll be in even better shape. I've never met a portable generator that starts without the choke, till now. The remote start is awesome if I'm not home the wife just has to point the remote out the window if the need arises (obviously I'll have everything hooked up and the battery switch on prior) so in the event of, I don't know, a hurricane (like the one that just passed through this week) she doesn't need to go out in a downpour if I'm not here. I honestly wish it held some more gas, not that 6.6 gallons is small. As long as it runs through the night I'll be happy. I also like the handle, much sturdier than other generators. The large wheels give it enough ground clearance that I can pull it over a curb if neccessary. I'm looking forward to putting some load on it and seeing what it's got...... not that I want the power to go out, we'll find something else ;)
I just bought this generator for my barn. I am very impressed with the solid construction and all the features. Easy to assemble wheels and clear instructions for initial set up - they even provided the engine oil needed. Remote works well and I didn't expect the automatic choke, which was a pleasant surprise. It is louder than I would have wanted, but for my use, I still rated it a five star.
Bought this generator weeks after Hurricane Beryl ripped through Houston. Received in perfect condition, and test run complete. Very pleased with the purchase.
This generator has everything I would possibly need to operate my home in the event of a loss of power. I chose a gasoline only generator because my home doesn’t have access to natural gas, which made the purchase cheaper and/or allowed me to purchase a generator capable of producing a greater amount of wattage. After my 3rd time of being without electric I knew it was time to purchase one and the research and reviews pointed me to Westinghouse generators, and the price allowed me to purchase the size I need to operate all the essentials would need in a power outage!
