I bought a generator because of my local power supplier turns off power when it’s super windy in my area. They’ve done it 3 times and I was tired of losing my food and not being able to work at home. So I got this generator and it’s been great. I’ve used it for a total of 3 days running basically non stop to power half my house. I use it to power my fridge, coffee maker, toaster oven, WiFi routers, tv, and my laptop and two monitors. Not all are on at the same time but when I was using my computer with monitors, WiFi routers, fridge, and a toaster oven I was at 50% capacity according to the digital display. The thing is awesome and it’s not too loud either. I used eco mode and it’s nice cause it idles at a lower rpm and only idles up when there is more draw. The digital read is really nice too but for the fuel it only displays in liters, so I had to memorize the conversion since I only really understand ounces and gallons. The generator is really nice and hopefully it lasts a long time. I’ll probably be using it often during the windy months and tbh using it for 3 days was worth every penny. I would say the only downside is the instructions. Like it doesn’t state exactly how to handle the onboard li ion battery for the generator. I think they need to clarify this some. But otherwise if you’re looking for something quieter and somewhat portable as I can still carry it with one hand but it’s still a little heavy, and are able to power quite a bit as mentioned above, this is the one you want.
Was impressed with the appearance & quality of the unit upon opening the box. Setup was very easy & quick (good directions). Unit started easily & the first thing I noticed was how quiet it was compared to my friend's generator. His unit is not an inverter. I have run the refrigerator & several small appliances to see how this unit performs, but have not had to use it under blackout conditions. Feel confident it will do a great job should the need arise.
I purchased this inverter generator to be prepared for hurricane season. I love the size, wheels to move it around, easy to understand instructions and manual included. This is an excellent power source for a great price. Westinghouse is a trusted well-known name brand. I am comforted to know that I will be able to easily start and operate this generator by myself, I'm a woman in my 60's. I'll have more than enough power to run my refrigerator and a portable ac unit in my home when we lose electricity again. It's also a compact size to store.
i had a 150 lb generator and it was getting to heavy to move around. I got this one because a few of my friends recommended it. It's on wheels and still light enough to pick up and carry. And the electric start is a bonus!
