I just purchased this generator and have not needed to use it yet, but would like to say that the unpacking and assembly went smoothly. I am female and 71 years old with very little prior knowledge concerning generators, but I was able to follow the instructions and complete the unpacking and assembly by myself. The only reason I did not give five stars is that the oil plug was not completely closed when shipped and a small amount leaked out onto the unit.
We have spotty electric service, this is a great backup to maintain freezers and lights. Extremely happy and will definitely consider buying Westinghouse products again.
We bought this generator Aug 30, because of illness , we have used it yet. We plan on starting it up this weekend. It arrived a few days earlier than expected. We like the fact that you can use propane or gas. Few years ago, we had one that used only gas. During the hurricane, we had a hard time finding gas.
I bought this unit to replace an older generator that gave up the ghost. After doing reviews, Westinghouse.kept coming out ahead. Electric start.and dual fuel were both positives as well.
After experiencing power loss for 3 days last year in freezing cold weather, I bought this to run electric heaters,, hot plate, etc. in case it happens again. I am prepared for an extended power outage with this generator.
