Got this over a year ago when Duke Power didn't say anything about rolling blackouts and the text said 11pm instead of AM, our generator had the pull cord assembly break, and it was 9 degrees outside and didn't have time to fix.
The little note to de-rate by 3-5% per 1000 ft altitude appears a bit understated. I could only get about 40 amps out of it before it started wheezing. I'm at 2300ft.
This Generator has all the "bells and whistles" I needed. Is is very well designed in my opinion. The auto start feature is wonderful. The 240/120 Volts option is great. Thanks Westinghouse...
We just bought this and haven’t had chance to use it yet. My son assembled it easily enough. I found it to be just as advertised. I hope we don't have to use it too soon, but if we do have a power outage, I have no doubt that it will provide what we expect with the 5300 running watts. I stressed about power outages every time a bad storm was coming, but now will be at east knowing we have the Westinghouse Generator.
