I recently purchased this generator. After reading the instructions and watching a video , assembly was relatively easy. It started on the second pull . I attached my extension cords and powered up 2 devices. Generator ran flawlessly and was quieter than expected. So glad I bought this Westinghouse generator.
I just purchased the item in preparation for hurricane season. Only had a chance to test the item to make sure it works. A little hard to start but other than that is ok.
Bought this for emergency use [with occasional use for away from building projects]. Haven't used it a great deal yet so I can't offer insight on reliability or longevity, but it seem to be all I'd hoped it would be for the moment. It is well-made, sturdy and easy to move. Very user-friendly controls with adequate receptacles for middle range power needs. For the price it seems it will well meet my needs!
