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).
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

Excellent purchase

Purchased this generator just before a hurricane, but did not receive it until after the storm. It did arrive 4 days early. Unit was easy to put together, just added wheels, feet, oil (included), and gas. Generator started immediately. Ran very well and was much quieter than my old generator. Lots of great features. Very impressed with the quality of construction. After seeing how well it was made, actually bought a second larger generator. Would definitely recommend this product. Great value at a great price.
