Great little generator

After going through another 5 day power outage and using pool water to flush toilets, I knew I needed to get a generator. My electrician recommended Westinghouse and I see why - works great and is compact! I plan on only running essentials (well, boiler, refrigerator and freezer) and I am confident this will handle more. The included wheels are a bonus and I don't have to worry about filling them with air. I like that you can choose a model with or without a battery - I chose without since I didn't want to add more weight or another thing to take care of. Bring it on, mother nature!
Got this from Santa. Gorgeous looking machine. Started on the first try. Runs like a top, and performs beautifully. Can't wait to take it camping or to the family cabin. Hopefully I won't need it for a power outage, but I feel much better just knowing that I have a quality machine, just in case. .
I bought this unit in November 2020 and have used it several times. Minimal assembly was required, it starts very quickly and the electric start is fantastic. I keep a battery maintainer on the battery and will run the unit once a month to ensure it's ready to go.
This worked fine for the first 6 weeks after I bought it. It then shorted out. KA-PLOOEY! I had only used 1 1/3 tank of gas. (It was economical in that respect) Do to my frequent need for a generator I had to immediately purchase a new one of a different brand. I am on Social Security - I need something reliable.
So far so good. I purchased this one after looking at several other brands. Quality on this thing is better than the competitors. Everything is working like it should. No complaints here
