Huge Power!

I love this generator! With the right setup it powers my whole house. The coolest part is that is has remote start. Now I want to know why my weed eater doesn’t have this feature. Great product but very heavy, which would be expected from the size.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Almost Ruined It
on October 6, 2021
Posted by: Looweeziana
from Baton Rouge,LA
I have owned several generators in the past (I'm 75 yrs old) and never had a problem. Down here in Louisiana with yearly hurricanes we lose power a lot.
Almost ruined this one because the instructions about the oil is confusing. First. the unit has a yellow dip stick so when you put in new oil, which is yellow it is nearly impossible to see the oil level. Second,.the oil fill lays at a horizontal angle, (unlike a car which if a vertical fill tube) . so it is hard to fill and hard to read the level on the dipstick and very easy to overfill. Third, they give you a 1 quart can of oil but don't tell you how much it takes when you first fill it up. But low oil was the problem when I almost ruined my generator. At the start I put oil in and added more and kept checking the dipstick then I thought it was full. So I started it and it ran for just about 1 hour and shut off. I tried many times over several days and it would run for only a few minutes or not start at all. I called Westinghouse about one of their service centers. Anyway, after about 10 days I reread the manual and began all over again. Ultimately, when I had rechecked everything I found that the oil level was now showing LOW so I added more oil, almost the whole quart and it finally started and ran fine for 2 hrs until I shut it off. Reading the manual for the 15th time I finally saw where it says under the troubleshooting info, " low oil shut down switch is preventing the unit from starting". This switch must be located internally in either the engine or the crankcase not anywhere that you can see it!!! This i believe was my problem and I sure hope I have not ruined my brand new generator, especially with another hurricane coming!!!!

Everything arrived in good condition and operates just as intended. The duel fuel feature as well as gas tank drainer are great. I would definitely order again.

Started on the first pull! Easily transportable with the pull out handle and wheels on the back side. Just a great machine to have in emergencies. Highly recommend.
