In Southern California, because of climate change and the fire-storms that trigger conditions to have power cut off, we needed something to get us through those days without breaking the budget. We can live without air conditioning, have a barbeque to cook with a side burner, have flashlights and portable phone chargers, but our refrigerators and freezer were always taking the hit. So, this unit is the vital life support for our two fridges and freezer. At the right price it was a no brainer.
I bought this several months ago and just had my electrician hook this up. He was able to hook up more outlets than I originally thought when I bought this. I thought I was just getting refrigerator and heat but I have four additional outlets attached. Although I have not used it I stand by Westinghouse as we seek out this brand whenever we can as we have always had a good product, customer service and longevity whenever we had a product by Westinghouse.
