I am so glad I bought this, it is easy to operate, wonderful fuel efficiency, and moderate noise level, I completely recommend this product, you can't live without it!
Bought this generator for tailgating and camping. Love the addition of the 30 AMP plug so we can connect directly to our camper. Used the generator for tailgating last weekend and was able to power a TV, several phones, and other appliances for 10 hours with plenty of juice remaining. I wish the oil dipstick was easier to access - be careful not to overfill.
The Westinghouse name brand, 3 year parts warranty, and great reviews led me to purchase this product. I have loaded it up with many different appliances and it purrs like a kitten. It's reasonably quiet between 65 - 83 DB, you can hold a conversation next to it without any problems. Much quieter than my non-inverter generator. Weighing a little over 100 pounds I am surprised at how easy it is to move with the built in retractable handle and it doesn't feel that heavy if you have to lift it using built in lift handles. A lot of thought went into its design and it is very easy to access serviceable parts. I like the supplied oil funnel as it screws in the oil filler tube which ensures oil will not spill when filling, unlike those other funnels that have a tendency to pop out at the wrong time. However the best part of this generator, is the informative lcd panel. It toggles between 5 screens. The screen I use the most is the one that shows the power load the generator is pulling. In addition to the 5 LCD informative screens, it has an ever present percent of fuel remaining gauge and a percent of load indicator in 25% increments. Very easy to read. One feature that could be improved is to have the ability to change the remaining fuel display from Liters to Gallons remaining, however this is not a deal killer. If you do not use the built in battery to start the generator, the pull handle starts it up in one or two pulls and the remote start key fob works great! This generator, like others, also has an auto shut off if the load exceeds the generator capacity or the oil level is too low. It also has a charger so you can top off the built in battery monthly if the generator is not being used. Well thought out, three ways to start it, easy to transport, perfect compact size. I highly recommend this product!
Features and wattage at twice the price of competitors. Well built generator and well thought out features. Can’t wait to use this inverter on the next camping trip.
It starts super fast even with the remote. So quiet, like you don’t even know it’s running. Great on gas, runs 21 hours on a tank with 1 ton mini split plugged into it. This is my second one and if needed I will purchase another one. Great product !!!!
Just got our new generator! We bought it to run our living quarters horse trailer when camping primitive. We haven’t gotten to use it yet, but we’re excited to use it in November!
