Simple startup and run

On the second of July we bought this generator. It was delivered ten days later to our door. We are waiting for the electrician to do his work to provide power to the house, but the start up of the generator was so easy I couldn't wait to give a review. The documentation provided with the generator was so simple. The steps had us gas it up, add oil, make the battery connections, flip the switches and push a button and the generator sprang to life. We shut it off and then used the remote, again instant response. Now everything could go wrong later and I will be back to say if that is so however the most critical part of my non-mechanical fears are resolved. It was so easy.

Perfect Unit

I bought this unit last year in August 2019 to prepare for outages we experience several times during the winter. Well, never had an outage until 10/2020 - I never got it ready to run until this outage, put the gas and oil in it, hooked the battery up and hit the start button BAM! started right up and been running for 16 hours on same full tank.

EXCELLENT GENERATOR SO FAR!

Haven't needed to use it yet bu the set up and 1st start out of the box couldn't have been easier. Battery was charged. I didn't have to connect the wires to the battery just connect the factory installed connectors. Came with the right amount of oil son no guess work. Started with the push of a button! Next power outage we'll be ready!

Great right out of the box

Right out of the box after adding fuel and oil, this thing started right up. It's ready and waiting to get used this winter. I give it 4 stars as I haven't put many hours on it yet, but will do so over the next couple months and hopefully update my reading to five stars

Portable, Powerful, and Peace of Mind

I bought this generator to use during the upcoming hurricane season. I didn't know I was also buying peace of mind. The generator is sturdy, starts easily, and runs everything we will need in case of an emergency. Not only that but it is extremely easy to move on any surface. My family can breath easy from now on.

Solid Generator With Good Features

Set up was very easy. With installing wheels and feet, adding oil and checking things over, took about 15 minutes. Started up on the second pull and ran smoothly. Everything worked as expected with no issues. Hurricane season is happening now. I hope I don't need to use it, but glad I have it in case I do. Can't comment on long term use, but I don't expect any issues.

Peace of Mind!

We bought this after going 12 days without power in our home following an ice storm in October 2020. We have such peace of mind now, knowing that we won't go through that again! We love the ease of storage, and the capability this generator has. We'll never be in that position again!

Generator

Bought this for the pending power outages from the riots. Unboxed, filled oil and gas and attempted to start. Took a LONG time to start, I guess working gas thru the system. Never owned a generator before. Its loud but not nearly as loud as I expected. Like a push behind lawn mower.

Nice

I bought this generator three weeks ago. Am in process of doing the break in process, very satisfied with generators start up and out put. Push button auto start very nice, push once and within 3 or 5 seconds motor turning over to start. Mid 30s temperature have not had to use choke to start.

Appears to be a quality product.

I purchased this after reading many reviews on this and other generators. I was put off by a number of negative reviews. Decided to buy the Westinghouse because it had the best comments and ratings. I have only had it 3 days and was finally able to get it prepped today. Started on the first try with the battery start and didn't even need to choke it. It appears to be a quality built unit with quality materials. I will review again in a few days after I have had a chance to run it more.
