Awesome Home Generator

Westinghouse definitely put a lot of thought into the design of this generator. The ports are clearly mark, the unit moves and stores easily and is very compact compared to my last generator. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking to get a home generator.
Assembly was a breeze. I love that it has push button start as well as remote start. Solid construction. Also, not very loud when running, so that's a plus.
I'll be using this generator mostly to power my house during what seem to be more frequent weather-related power outages. It was very easy to set up by myself. I will be putting it through its paces in the next day or so to test it. I bought this generator to replace a Generac unit that died a premature death. Hopefully this new generator won't commit hari-kari by throwing part of itself through its cylinder head after just a few years of limited use like the Generac unit did.
I haven't had a chance to test it out yet but by first appearance it is well made. Assembly, what little there was which is a bonus, was very easy and under 5 minutes. I'm coming from a 20 year old generator so this has LOTS of bells and whistles that my old one didn't have. It was packaged very well, no damage that I can see and carton was in fairly pristine shape so I don't think it saw much abuse during shipping. Hopefully i never have to test out the warranty since the closest repair place to me is quite far, hopefully they'll send me the parts to repair myself if that happens.
