After the hurricanes that have come through this past year, this product has become an essential item for our home and travel. If we have a need for another one my family will definitely be buying it from you guys.
Overall very easy to assemble and get started. But several minor kinks noticed: 1. When installing the two feet, one of the nuts is not aligned well, making it impossible to screw the flange bolt in. I had to screw the bold in from the other direction to force it through (kind of opening up the threads), then screw the bolt out and install as illustrated in the manual. 2. In Page 18, step 5 of "Starting the generator," I was looking for the breakers on the generator originally. After finding on such buttons, then realized this step means breakers on my circuit panel, etc. So please make this clear to minimize confusion. For standard-alone operation (e.g., on the road), this step is not needed.
I've had the power go out at my house twice in the past 3 months. My sump pump runs constantly and my back up battery system could not handle the load. I researched portable generators and found the Westinghouse unit to have the highest ratings, wattage and value for the money. It was an easy assembly and the wheel and handle make it very easy to move around. With this unit I can run my sump pump and multiple other items anytime regardless of weather or utility power.
