Was delivered a week ago, just put it together today. Went together really easy, started right up. Our electrician will be here next week to do the wiring. After living through category 5 Michael I will never go through another one with out a power generator. I’m hoping this unit will run most of our house. The electric start will be great for my 82 year old mother in case I’m not home and we loose power.
Bought this a month ago when we had a local severe storm, Our electric stayed on but our daughters was off for four days. After 10 hours off we had to scramble the entire family to find enough space for her freezer and fridge contents. Because of corona virus everyone was well stocked with their own goods to avoid frequent trips to grocery store. It took six households refrigeration space to accommodate her needs and we still lost some of the cheaper condiments etc. Done right, this unit will run my entire house and the fact that it is portable will allow me to lend it out if above described circumstances happen again.
I bought the generator about 3 weeks ago to replace a 6000 Watt generator. Having the extra power will enable me to use some of my 240 Volt appliances during prolonged outages. The ability to remote start and connect the smart switch at a future date are a plus.
This product will fit the needs of our household in the event of an unexpected interruption to our electricity. I purchased this particular model because of the many features and its ease of use. I hope I don't have to use it any time soon but if I do, this model will take care of our entire 3600 sq.foot home.
Living in Florida, I've had several major-brand generators (Grac, Hon, Champ) and this Westinghouse tops them all. The auto-start, auto-choke are great features and the multiple outputs ensure compatibility anywhere, anytime. I use this with a transfer switch to power most of our home during outages. The 12500 starting amps is spot on and the fuel consumption guidance is true. If you load it up, you will go through some gas but "big blue" will not leave you out in the cold. This thing is a work horse!
