I only recently bought and started this generator. Although it seems to run fine, I'm very disappointed in how many times I had to manually pull the start mechanism chord. In the 5 times that I started it, it took from 4 to 8 pulls to start. That's a problem and not good enough. As for the Average rating I gave, it's much too early in my usage of this generator to really give any rating.
tainer with the correct minimal assembly out of box, only drawback I had was getting oil level correct. container with correct amount would be helpful. Unit started on first pull. Now ready for next power outage.
I bought this a week ago and I am so happy with my purchase. I put the wheels on and did the oil and gas. The Westinghouse Generator cranked right up. Looking forward to many years of use.
We bought in May of this year, started using 3 times a week with no problems for about three weeks, then the problems started ..first little things, the spring in the carberator sprung, the pull start assembly broke, the arm on the choke adjustment broke, little things that make it really hard for the generator to run correctly. Normal wear and tear I understand, but not replacing carberator in 3 weeks time, or pull start assembly twice in as many months and still no response from westinghouse support about the warranty that all this should be covered under ..but when the generator is 100%, it's amazingly quiet, handles well and easy to use, great on gas too! If you didn't get a lemon as I believe we have u will have a great generator
Easy assembly of feet and wheels. Oil and spout included. Easy start. Allowed to run for a few warm up minutes and then added a light load. Runs great. Quiet compared to some other generators.
