Decent craftsmanship!

I bought this for Western NY power outages. My electric goes out frequently where I live due to strong winds, heavy snow and drunk drivers hitting poles! Well, an occasional misfit city flatlander shooting aimlessly into the dark and hitting power lines can't be ruled out either...
Product even comes with a manual for easy to understand instructions for delinquents such as my neighbor who no longer drives.

Just arrived today. Easy set up just add oil, fuel and put the included wheels on! Easy to start by recoil and sounds clean. I plugged in a 1500 watt portable heater and no noticeable change in the generator. I expected to hear it bogg down at least a little and nothing.

Simple setup, Great features

Generator is heavy (expected), so I highly recommend cutting the box at the corners. This will also make set up easier. Setup was very straight forward. Got it started and checked voltages with a multimeter to confirm proper operation.
Compared to other generators that I have used, this one is on par with some of the more expensive ones regarding consistent power output. The power output for this one is more than we needed and even runs my domestic water heater (Rated @ 4500w) which is the largest load that I have to run (even if it is just by itself). Recommend it for house power during outages (intended use for me).
Pros: Easy set up, easy maintenance, easy to use. Options for electronic start or manual start. Enough power to run almost anything, although not at the same time. Clear User Manual. Also, when you register it, Westinghouse sends you a cover for the generator.
Cons: Noise level would be my only complaint. This is also expected of a running engine at 3600 rpm. Not recommend for camping due to the noise levels. Also, do not recommend running at night if living in a neighborhood. You will make your neighbors mad, unless you share the power (which this allows fairly easy with a regular extension cord).

Easy assembly. Added oil(included) & gas. Hooked up the battery(included & charged). Set choke and hit start button. Ran a little rough at first. After a couple
of minutes at half choke smoothed out. No problems after that.

Generator is a great size for temporary power. It started right up after adding gas and oil. The electric start is very convenient. Model is lighter than some other Gens I have considered. Good purchase.

Fired right up and completed the hour break in. No smoke, reasonable noise, wife said she could barely hear it in the house. Tested on lightbulbs. Will soon hook up to the house. Satisfied so far.
