I bought this a month ago. Westing house is usually a good product. Not sure when it was damaged either at the factory or in shipping. Try to use it during power outage age gas leaked right out.

Thank you for letting us know about this! We’re so sorry to hear about any inconvenience this may have caused you. Unfortunately, damage that occurs while shipping is unforeseen as we have little to no control over how carriers handle our shipments. Please reach out to our customer care team at service@wpowereq.com or 1-855-944-3571 at your earliest convenience so we can get you taken care of.
Purchased for hurricane power outages. I was excited to try it when our power went out after Isaias went through. I prepared by filling the oil and adding gas. It started and ran fine for a couple of hours but produced no electrical output - so I shut it down and lived with the heat and no power to our two fridges - we even went out that afternoon to buy bags of ice to try and save our food - luckily power came back on later that evening. I will now need to try and get it fixed before the next hurricane runs through our area.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this because I purchased my first home and i live in a area prone to bad weather and hurricanes. I first used this product for hurricane isaias. It lasted me till the power came back on i used for appliances like the refrigerator and stuff and to power lights and the tv and some fans. The instructions are very helpful if you dont know what you are doing i am only 25 and dont know alot about small engines and i did not have trouble other then it took a couple pulls to start it at first. It also came with tools and some oil which was helpful.
We had another power outage in our area -- after a power outage last June, I bought this unit and I'm glad I did. Very easy to operate, very well-written directions, got the job done.
