Filled with oil and did all prep to get it ready for first start. Turned fuel and power on, pressed the start button, and VUALA! Strated right up. Hooked it up to my Fifth wheel to see if it would run 1 AC and microwave at same time and did it perfectly. Haven't gone camping and used it, but soon...
Bought this 4 months ago, and the ONLY problem I had with it was finding the serial number, which turned out to be just below the exhaust port. (Due to my own laziness I didn't get around to calling Westinghouse for help for several weeks, and then due to health and personal maneuverability reasons I had to wait till my son could help me. That was another few weeks ago, and only now am I finally getting around to registering and writing this review. NONE OF THAT is the fault of Westinghouse!) Following the simple instructions, my son helped me un-box the unit, fill the oil, add a small amount of gas and get it started. It took several tries at first, but eventually fired up and ran fine. I shut it off, waited a few minutes, and then it started again on the first try. I repeated this several times. So far I'm very confident in this generator. It runs quiet and that was important to me.
I bought this 2 months ago, it works perfectly except that the remote stopped working after a rainy day, and I did not cover the generator. After about two weeks, I tried the remote again, and it started working again! I like the remote , it really helped when we boon-docking our 5th wheel. I put the generator on the bed of my truck. It works great in terms of convenience (remote start), reducing weight of 5th wheel, noice level.
I have tried a couple of other comparable units to this one and this unit seems to be quitter. I've even found this unit starts easier than the fuel injected unit i tried. The starter doesn't sound like it is laboring trying to start. It kicks right off with the remote and stays active for more than 4 hrs. in standby mode. Price wise the unit was lower than most of the others and if you shop around a little you may find it a bit cheaper as well. Very Happy so far!
