We bought this generator hoping we will never be in the situation where we have to use it. But it is nice to know we have it if we need it. Have not had to use it yet but it started right up at the touch of a button in the test phase.
I bought this generator 1/19/25 and I realy love the way it works for what I needed we have a hard freeze starting tonight and it is realy going to save our energy when it goes out
We have been experiencing PSPS outages every time the wind blows losing power for up to 60 hours at a time. This system is particularly nice because it has the electronic start so my wife can get it going if we lose power during the day. Easy to use, works great, a little loud but way better than no power for hours and hours.
Badly needed a generator since we live in the 'sticks' and lose power often. After a lot of research, decided on this Westinghouse gas only generator. Easy to add wheels, legs, add included oil and gas. One touch and it started..very quiet compared to older generators. We haven't needed it yet but know we are ready for our next outage!!
Great packaging, easy to follow instructions for unpacking. (use the cardboard sides of the generator box for a works surface)
Unpacked the wheel kit and installing the wheel kit took about 20 minutes (took a few minutes to locate where the mounting feet attached to the frame)
Added oil - the tip of the funnel screws in the neck of the oil filler for a nice tight connection. Uses all of the oil supplied, poor very slowly and have a rag to clean up …
Added gas. stabilizer and connected the battery charger. From unpacking to this point took about 45 minutes.
