I bought this generator one week ago. It was very easy to set up. Instructions are very good and easy for anyone to understand. I never owned or operated a generator and was happy that this one was quite simple to set up and operate. Started right up and ran nicely. Great value for the money!
It's heavy in the box, but once you get it put together, it's easy to move around. Started right up and ran like a charm. So far I'm pleased with this purchase.
I have s different brand generator that was a bit underpowered for my needs. I wanted a more powerful unit that would run critical functions in my house during power outages such as 2 refrigerators and our well's water pump. This unit handles it well with power left for some lights and more. Even though the Westinghouse is a more powerful generator, it weighs a bit less than my older unit. The built in wheels and handle are a big plus. Out of the box assembly was quick and easy. Although I didn't use them, tools came with the generator.
Very happy with the quality for the price. I gambled and won, as I couldn’t find this brand in stores to check it out before I ordered. But it lived up to the reviews. Would recommend and would buy again. Had to hold back a star because I don’t think the oil was drained for shipping it literally was covered in it, bleeding into the cardboard, but it’s for outside use so I rubbed it in for a rust protectant.
So easy to use, I added fluids and broke it in for an hour. Started right up via pull cord, as the battery arrived connected and dead. The price was much lower than other generators within this power range.
