I purchased this generator around Christmas time to ensure that my family was prepared in case of winter storms. Have not used the generator yet, but seems sturdy and well built. Was easy to attach wheels. Like that the generator has an electric start and a pull cord as a backup.
We haven't used it yet, but it's ready to go if needed. I previously answered a review on 12/22/2024 for my bonus cover. The form was separate & with the product information.
So far so good! Putting it together was easy and directions were simple. The battery was dead, but it started right up on the first pull. After that, I ran it for a while, turned it off and then restarted it with the battery.
After yanking on starter cord of my generac generator, it was a delight to start the generator with a flip switch on this Westinghouse. It started quickly out of the box and is a bit lighter to move than the generac.
I bought January 2024 used only at hunting camp. Generator motor surged off an on. Used 2 weeks in January. Then started using again in Late October. First of December it quit powering the 2 30amp outlet. Only double 110 outlet works. Unable to find receipt.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
