For boondocking with our tent trailer

Just finished our first boondocking camp trip with our tent trailer. Worked great to recharge the house batteries and run string lights throughout our camp. Fired right up with all three starting options. Is quieter than open frame generator but wish it was still quieter like the "red one's." This is my first generator and it is likely way overkill for my camping needs but figure we can grow into it and great for house back up.

Feature Rich Generator

I’m 5 running hours in and really liking this generator. The digital sensor panel is great and the inverter really delivers on reduced overall weight and noise. My only complaint is the lack of clear instructions in the manual on using a very level surface to avoid tripping the low oil sensor. I was in an area close to level the first time i used it and almost gave up after a support call and hour of troubleshooting. They eventually sent an email suggesting a level surface.

Reliable and Quiet

I’ve owned this generator for 2 years now. I do change the oil after large outings. We just returned from a week long trip where it was in constant use for 5 days during some higher Texas temperatures. We turned it off only when leaving camp and for refueling. We were complimented multiple times on how quiet it was. After 2 years of use, it didn’t even so much as stutter. My only recommendations would be for the addition of oil change tubes to allow for cleaner oil changes (I added aftermarket products myself). Otherwise, this has been a fantastic product for us!

As specified!

The dimension specs were very important because I need it to fit under my hard tonneau cover for transporting it while towing my 5th wheel RV, so it can be covered and locked, perfect fit! The noise level is important and it is extremely quiet, very pleased. I've been breaking it in before I travel with it to make sure it does the job, randomly putting loads on it to change the rpm's. It ran for 22 hours on a tank of gas and never ran out, very efficient! I turned it off after about 6 days of random run times and changed the oil. The oil change process is a little messy because it's in a tight access area, so I'm glad I did that at home. Overall I'm extremely satisfied. The generator is packaged well for shipping, the box had a good bit of damage to it. The styrofoam packing was even damaged inside, but the generator is in perfect shape.

Everything I could ask for

The dealer I ordered my horse trailer from recommended this generator to use for the living quarters. I will receive the trailer tomorrow and started reading the guide for this generator. First of all, I am an older lady who needs something that I can handle on my own. After reading the manual on this, I can take care of everything including maintenance and storing. I purchased a dog ramp, so I can wheel this into my trailer. It is so easy to move. I couldn't be more satisfied.

Conversation quiet!

First the good: This thing is so quiet you can stand next to it and have a conversation. I put my sound meter next to it and got low 60s decibels, that is about the level of a conversation. Compare to my 6000W monster at mid-70s which you have to shoot over (mid-70s is like sitting in heavy traffic). Push button start, remote start, easy to maneuver with the retractable handle, all good stuff. Haven't plugged the camper into it yet but have no doubt she can handle it and I won't be drowning out the neighbors. So the not-so-good: it arrived damaged. No apparent damage on the box. I was on the lookout for that after seeing other reviews. The damage is to a bracket on one of the side panels that holds the threads for the back panel to screw into. It was completely snapped off. I have a support request into Westinghouse so if that resolves then it is 5-star! The only other "could be better" is if the oil plug was a little farther out so that spilled oil didn't sit in the housing and it might be easier to do an oil change. They do give you a nice funnel to make it work but there is still a little spilling. Super minor

Compact, Easy to Use, Easy to Store

Originally purchased this item for use with our travel trailer but it turned out to be slightly higher than would fit under the tonneau cover on our Nissan Frontier, however, after setting the generator up and firing it up for the first time, we were so pleased with the quietness of the unit that we decided to keep it to supplement our other portable generator used during power outages. This one will be used to limit noise from use near our bedroom - it's that quiet!

Wonderful generator but manufacturing needs work

My first 2-3 startups of this generator were a little slow and I figured cold start, priming etc, but the 4th time it wouldnt start at all. I checked all the basic maintenance issues like oil, flooding, spark plug and then I went to google. Apparently during manufacturing, a large number of these generators have a wire that controls the automatic choke that is simply not connected, or is connected loosely and just pops out while running the first time or 2. Once the wire was reattached, the generator starts the first time and runs like a dream.

Great Generator

Great generator. Great value. In the box comes oil, a funnel, and a tool kit. Just provide the fuel and you are good to go. This thing has been great. Make sure to read the instructions!! You need to break it in at less than 25% load for 5 hours before you really use it. Also a fuel stabilizer is recommended. Treat it right and it will treat you right!

Tested out fine!

I bought my generator just in case of an extended power outage due to any sever weather, like hurricane Sally in 2020 which hit close by. I just want to be able to run our standing freezer, lights, a standing fan & a couple of light electronic units. I have tested it by running the freezer & a table lamp for about 5 minutes and didn't see any issue! Overall I am very happy.
