Been looking for a powerful generator that didn't break the bank and this one fit the bill. Ordered on Thursday and was delivered on Monday. Put it together, filled with oil and gas, and it fired up on the first start. Soooo happy. Cant wait for the power to go out...lol
Just got it set up today and am in the process of breaking it in. I'm looking forward to having my home essentials backed up for the next long power outage. I had just lost a freezer worth of frozen meats during hurricane Ian.
What a great machine! The first glance build quality is nice from the push button start to the really nice molded outlet covers. Small amount of assembly but it took a whole 3 min to assemble which is great for anyone to do. Put oil in plugged in battery and took off immediately. My only complaint is I wish there was some sort of on board compartment to store the battery recharge cord.....in a lot of cases this will get misplaced or thrown away because you forgot what it was for and dont need it so Westinghouse please install a little storage box somewhere that the charge cord and spark plug wrench can be with machine at all times. Little part of me wants to lose power so I can use it and now able to power our well pump. Thank you!
purchased to handle power outages, test run on home was successful, handles heat, water, appliances. Handle is good to move unit, however, if lifted too high, unit will tip backward, i put a hinge lock in place to prevent this.
