Great little generator

This generator is exactly what I needed. We live in an area where the power goes out every time the wind blows, and we were tired of replacing all our food every 2 weeks. So this is the perfect size to run our fridge and a few lamps/fans. It started up right out of the box and runs like a dream. It’s not even very loud. I can barely hear it from the front of the house when it’s running out back, and my neighbors can’t hear it inside their houses at all. Total win. The propane option is great too because we can use it for church outreach opportunities where power may not be available.
Bought as power for camper to run air conditioning when off-grid. The full cooling load can only be met on gasoline, not LP, but that is manageable. Unit starts reliably, is easy to maintain, is small and light for the power rating, and was priced fairly. The CO sensor must be respected, which limits siting and sheltering provisions. Run time is less than a full night when running air conditioning loads, so I have to get up once around 2 AM to refuel. That's a consequence of the smaller form factor and reduced weight, and is managable.
Westinghouse is a sham. They do not back their products; they hoodwink the buyer into thinking that they will fix the problem. I'm still waiting on my replacement generator. They say they will fix it, and you don't hear from them again. Never again will I buy a Westinghouse product.
I like my gen however having trouble starting air conditioner seems to bog down. Not enough starting power only 2hrs on it. Runs starts no issues any advice???
I bought this on 1-6-25 and have used it 2 times . The push button start will not start it. It runs down the battery. Have to jump the battery to get it to start. Thus should not be happening. Very upset with this generator. Have to buy a new battery now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
