After adding the ENTIRE bottle of oil (I read how much it actually takes after my husband filled it up) and putting in gas, it was taken for a stroll down the driveway to get cranked on. Little to my surprise, this little generator that could started up with zero problems, following instructions on the quick start. It ran fairly quiet which is pleasant - at least quieter than my neighbors down the road that I can hear clunking along in the dead of night. I look forward to using it this year- because where we live… it’s guaranteed to be needed.
Looking at the box I figured the unit was damaged .Removed from the box assembled and to my chagrin it started right up and was not damaged. Gas oil and go. Haven't been able to use it yet but have no doubt it will do it's job.
I am very pleased with my purchase and the support I received from the staff at Westinghouse when I needed information regarding the generator I purchased. Special thanks to Alex, Roxanna and Jamya for their help.
