Having just experienced a 3 day power outage in the Cleveland Oh area in August of 2024. I was fortunate to borrow a generator with less capacity than this model. Purchased this Westinghouse generator, has more power, runs quieter, has electric and was up and running in 20 minutes. I have peace of mind knowing this is "at the ready" for me
I just received this unit. I assembled it (easy), I added oil (easy) and I started it up (easy) for a few minutes. I will run it again in a few days for longer and add a load or two. The tru test will be the next outage when I can run my well pump.
We just bought this after several recent storms. It was easy to assemble and get started. It is very heavy; an extended handle would have been nice to move it around.
In 30 minutes had it unboxed and ready to go. Started right up. Not nearly as heavy as my old one. Replacing a 7000 max but seems like it will do the job. The electric start is a game changer.
