This Westinghouse Generator you can count on!

We feel secure in knowing we have this quality generator by Westinghouse. Prior to purchasing we read reports and reviews. This generator had very high reviews and excellent performance records. The extra benefit of gas/propane makes this model even more impressive. We rest assured that our power will remain consistent in the event of power outages.

Just picked it up

Needed a generator for the upcoming winter storm. The product was easy to assemble and make ready for use. Started up immediately. However, it took some time to figure out how to get power. The instructions for use do not mention that you need to turn off the circuit breaker switch. Once I did that the power came on. So far so good. Time will tell how good the product is during use.

Why?

What genius designed a generator that you cannot start with the pull rope unless the battery is charged? They put an electric fuel solenoid that requires the battery to be charged for the carburetor to get fuel. Is it just in case we feel we need exercise? The whole purpose of the pull rope on a generator with electric start is to be able to start the generator if the battery is dead, no? Again, why?

A very nice product

Made in Vietnam, but they must have a good contractor who meets good specs. Seems very well-made. Supplied with everything needed, including an assembly wrench and engine oil. Assembly was super easy - just feet, wheels, and the battery connector. Battery already charged. Oil bottle contains more that needed - make sure to keep checking the dipstick. Would be nicer to have a quarter-turn dipstick, it can be a little fussy to start the thread. Started very quickly, right out of the box. Electric starter is great, remote starter is even greater. Remote fob has good battery. Don't forget to close its breaker before plugging in to the outlets. Balance is nice for wheeling around.

Great features and easy to start

I decided to upgrade from a smaller generator to one that could run most of my house. This one was suggested by my brother who also bought one and liked it. Have not had an opportunity to use it, but testing it gives me confidence that it will work fine if the lights go out.

Great generator

Easy unpacking and set up. Instructions are informative. Watch the oil level when adding the oil. There will be some left inside the bottom due to testing at the facility. Just do a walk around to see where choke and fuel cut off is located. Then you are all set.

Perfect size to run our home in an emergency

We purchased this as we had an approaching ice storm and thought we may lose power. It was easy to put together and appears to be very well made. Thank the Lord we didn't have to use it this time, but we are grateful we have it and the best part, it's a push start!

Features I was needing

Generator had the features, such as tri-fuel and 240V capability for my well pump, that I wanted. Arrived on time and in good condition. Easy enough to assemble and I have run it for about one half hour to test it out. Primarily bought to power my house during power outages but will likely use it occasionally on our farm.

We bought this last month after a huge wind storm leaving us without power for 3 days. A neighbor helped us with the decision because he has the same model and it worked like a charm for his family. The Quick Start Guide relieved my worry as it's a piece of cake to set up and run. Dang, it's a heavy bugger and getting the wheels and feet on takes 2 people, but it's done!

Farm Purchases

We are pleased with the quality of this unit. Very heavy, well constructed. Works like it should and powers our pump houses. They run electric pumps and don't skip a beat. Remote start and shut down. Hour meter and multiple outlets to pick from. We use the 240 v. Can't go wrong with this purchase
