Good (or better) Generator in its class

It's very heavy and a bit noisy, loud enough to disturb the neighbors after midnight, but I guess that is to be expected for this type of generator. Setup was easy and it started on the first attempt. I bought this as a backup power supply in the event our power company decided they needed to turn off power. (Original response moderated because I named the power company in question and my review was rejected). Fortunately, in the month I have had it, I haven't had the need to use the generator any more than my initial 20 minutes test after receiving it, It did start on the first try and ran very smoothly during that test.
Long-term satisfaction will have to wait until I actually need it and I hope that this won't be for a long time! Based on the construction and overall attention to detail, and other reviews I have seen, I have no doubts that it will stand up to the job when needed. Small example of the attention to detail. I love that the battery arrived fully charged which made the generator able to start right out of the box (after adding oil, of course). I also appreciate that they included a charger in case it had been sitting around in a warehouse before I received it. I also appreciate the detailed maintenance instructions in the owners/instruction manual. As someone not accustomed to running small engine devices, I find the instructions very helpful an have no doubts I can do what needs to be done to keep this thing running.
Two minor caveats, the first has nothing to do with this particular generator, it's just a fact of life with this whole class is that the electric output is not clean enough to run delicate electronics (computers, TVs, etc.) without first running it through an inverter. If you plan on running such equipment I would strongly advise you to investigate an inverter generator as an alternative. My second issue/complaint is that there is no approved way of making the generator quieter. Specifically prohibited in FAQs from Westinghouse are that mufflers and sound attenuating "boxes" are not allowed. If you are out in the country and your nearest neighbor is a quarter of a mile away, this won't be an issue. But if you are in the city, like I am and have neighbors within 100 feet on either side, it is a concern. But, yes, I would recommend this generator to others with the warning that I have not been able to give it a thorough workout.
One more thing, I greatly appreciate the dual fuel option, most definitely worth the extra cost.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Seems to be a good purchase

Have had this generator for about 5 months and it has run very well. Starts right away and does everything I need it to do. This past weekend however it started right up but did not generate any power. Hopefully we can get it resolved quickly.

I bought this generator about a month ago because of the California fires and PG&E power shutdowns. It was very easy to assemble and use. Nows I don'nt worry about losing my wifi and refrigerator and freezer food.
