I just received my Generator and ready to go in about 45 minutes. Westinghouse even supplied a tool bag with the tools needed. A quart of oil plus funnel to make easier and cleaner to fill it. My previous generator, which was only 2 years old and destoryed by a flood, you had use the recoil cord to start. This model comes with a battery so with flick of a switch its on. great feature.
I bought this a month ago and haven't had to use it yet. I have started it by the battery start and also the pull start, both worked well. I'm in the process of adding a transfer switch to my load center. This generator is transfer switch ready, so it should work fine.
