Bought this unit after we lost power for 11 days last year. We had to rent a generator( smaller in size) and the cost of the rental for 11 days was more than the purchase price of this one. Haven't had to use it yet. Just unboxed it to assemble the wheels and feet. I like that it has 3 different start options. It will be easy to maneuver and set up by myself if and when it is needed. It is quite heavy. Our box came with oil spilled on it from transport but was otherwise is good condition.
Live in the southeastern US and bought this generator for emergency power (storms) and use on farm. Great Generator for the price. For it size - it is quite. We’ve had several generators and put Westinghouse at the top of the pack.
