This generator is big and powerful! Started right up with a push of the button! Directions were easy to follow step by step. Powers my whole 5th wheel RV with the 50 amp plug. Ready for the Texas heat or freeze! It's Heavy, 220 Lbs. but the big wheels and the handle makes it easy to maneuver.
We had a power outage 2 nights ago and I finally got a chance to use my WFH generator. What a life saver - I was able to keep working (I trade Asia markets from my home at night) - during the 3-hr power outage while most of this part of the world was sleeping. Next time I'll know to have more gas on hand, as I wasn't prepared and only had about a third of a container from leftover lawnmower gas around. Regardless, the generator fired up quickly and was reliable when I needed it.
The power company in rural areas of San Diego Country turns off the power, sometimes for days, during the hottest days of year, for fire prevention. I need sufficient power to run the A/C and the microwave, water heater etc. during those days. The remote start feature works great and the peak inrush current starts the a/c effectively. I particularly like the inclusion of a plug in battery charger to keep the battery fresh during the storage phase. The wheels make it easy to move and the folding handle is a convenient single piece design. Because of its compact size I store in the corner of the garage right next to the power panel. The high power output plug is an easy to get type (typical dryer plug) unlike the myriad of different twist and lock plus out there. I did quite a bit of research before selecting this model. Please give it your thoughtful consideration too.
Put oil in it and it start right first time. Love the electric start. I am ready for the next time the power goes out in my house. Thank You Westinghouse!
