They thought of everything...

As an engineer involved in reliability and product improvement for 37 years, I'm a very tough customer. I'm the guy who is always saying "did these idiots actually ever USE their own product???"
I expected no different when I purchased a Westinghouse WGen6000, sight unseen, from an online retailer. To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement.
Besides the obvious robustness of design, they managed to keep weight and size very reasonable. The cage is welded tubing, which provides high cage stiffness. Installing the tires was simple, and while you would think pneumatic tires are smoother, they tend to be flat when you need a generator most, and Westinghouse compensated by using larger diameter tires which roll very smoothly. The handle swings easily and is placed very well for easy movement. All mechanicals and wiring are neat as a pin. Outlets and controls are clearly labeled. Near the gas fill is a reasonably accurate mechanical gas gauge. Open the gas cap and you'll find that a chain keeps it captive (no more "where did the $#%# gas cap go??? while fumbling in the dark). There is also an inlet gas filter screen cup which is easy to remove and clean. From a design and build viewpoint, I can't criticize anything. The generator exudes quality everywhere you look.
I used the electric start the first time I tried to start it; it fired up within 2 seconds of pressing the switch. The sound level is lower than my previous generators, so that was a nice surprise. The digital display is nice to have.
Do I have any complaints? Yes, but they are very minor. The oil fill plug is a little difficult to reach as the battery wires are in front of it. However, you can rout the wires above it easily. The manual has a couple of minor errors that aren't worth mentioning. Finally, the ground lug on the control panel side had pierced the shipping box; there is very little clearance between it and the side of the box. However, it caused no damage whatsoever.
I highly recommend this generator without reservation.
Finally, I would like to state that I have no affiliation whatsoever with Westinghouse, the online retailer I purchased it from, and have no conflicts of interest whatsoever. I purchased it for my personal use, with my own money, and was not compensated for this review.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It was easy to assemble and very easy to start. A bit loud. Fortunately, I haven't used it yet so I cannot give too many details

I bought this item a couple weeks ago to back up the house power, just in case of an outage. It started up, no problem. All features are clearly marked, and transportation with wheel system is great. The real test will be if it's needed this winter.
I would recommend this to a friend!
