This is the second westinghouse generator that i've bought. I like the fact that I can start them myself, and i'm only five foot

Very impressed with the quality of this unit. The electric start works great. The unit size is perfect, and it runs very quiet. Would highly recommend buying this generator

Quiet, easy setup, home backup generator

Our > 25 year old generator was due for replacement. After researching multiple makes/models this was an easy choice:
-Excellent price for a major brand of this capacity
-Electric starter with built-in starter battery charger (multiple others require pulling the battery and using an external trickle charger)- works fine, starts quickly
-L14-30R 240VAC receptacle (reusing existing power cable to our inside manual transfer switch)
-Handle/wheel set included (no need to purchase separately)
-Simple, effective, display - voltage, frequency, hours, plus CO alarm indicator
-Fairly quiet - with exhaust properly pointed away from the house, nearby windows closed, there was just a little background noise in the rooms immediately adjacent to where it was running (quieter than a small table fan on low speed)
-Very good run time given its fairly small size/weight. I'm confident it'll power all of our loads for a full night in the middle of winter, if necessary. I always use ethanol-free regular unleaded, with fuel stabilizer added, for outdoor engines.
-Easy setup, good quick start guide
Minor nits:
-Transport tie wrap on the starter battery cables should be slightly looser. Not harmful but a little overly tight
-Starter battery cables should be slightly longer, to facilitate attaching the cable connectors and allow moving it out of the way when filling/refilling oil. Maybe 3" total longer would be quite nice.
-Oil fill spout (included) should be slightly longer, again around 2" - 3". It's not quite long enough to bend the inlet side of the spout "up" when filling, though does work okay.

While the THD spec is high, during my 3 hr initial test run I was seeing no issues on any of our standard home electronics - LED lighting, home/consumer-grade routers and PCs, monitors/TVs, FIOS internet,... Either the THD is lower when the generator is not pushed to capacity, or after initial startup (a couple minutes total from generator powered on to when I had used the transfer switch to transfer loads to it), but I'm comfortable that it's working fine with our loads. Our 240VAC well pump was cycled a few times during the initial run, 120VAC main home heater and water heater blowers ran several times, and I ran a space heater for added load. (in the Summer we don't use a space heater, but have a few window mounted ACs which have about the same total load).
I'll be doing another 3 hr run soon, then refill with 5W-30 synthetic oil for long-term use.
