Was going strong for about a month. Then the battery it came with literally exploded and the unit itself stopped functioning.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
We're very sorry to hear about this experience and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. This is definitely not typical, and we take it seriously. Please contact us as soon as possible at westinghousevip@wpowereq.com so we can investigate the issue and help resolve it promptly.
I bought this for my wife so she doesn't have to pull a rope. I myself am confined to a wheelchair. So you can imagine the looks I got when my old generator would not start. She loves the push button start. Lets just hope hurricanes stay away, but at least we are ready. (VERY NICE UNIT) .
Bought this for storm season, have yet to get the chance to start it up but it looks great and should power all of my needs. Went thru the machine and everything looks to be in order. Not too heavy for portability compared to other machines iv dealt with, great ergos with the fold up handle and compact design for what it is. The plug covers are a nice addition, wheels are of good quality as well as the rubber feet, welds on frame look sturdy. Quite happy with this purchase.
Living in Florida, we needed a new generator. This one easy to put together. Love the handle with wheels for easy moving. Haven't had to start it up yet. Will update post when we try it out.
We live in florida and have endured multiple hurricanes and power outages, lucky to be able and borrow my bosses Wgen last year, and it was a lifesaver Told myself I'm definitely buying one of these before the next season of bad weather Love it. P.S the Cover would be nice 😃
I just purchased this generator because the 2 I currently have just stopped working. I needed a unit to power an AC unit, fan, microwave and led lighting for our MX trailer when at the track. The unit was much smaller than I thought it would be when delivered and I though oh man did I buy the wrong size. Well I did not. This little generator is crazy powerful and operates everything I need and it's not even at full load. It's still new so only time will tell how durable it is but right now I'm impressed.
