Easy to use

I bought this item to power my 29ft camper. It has no problems at all while using Evernote air/heat. It arrived unblemished just added oil and fuel and it was ready to go. I really like the remote start/stop feature. My wife can finally start the generator by herself.

Quiet and easy to start

Please note! We got ours to run our 50 amp RV camper trailer when dry camping during deer season and are having issues with it revving up for no reason. We are still trying to figure out this issue but when speaking with Westinghouse customer service we were told this inverter may be too small for our camper - even though we are only running 30 amps, not the full 50. I do like the remote start and quiet running of the machine.

Easy to start with three different ways to start the engine.

Easy to start. Require very little effort to start manually. The remote allow for great convenience when we needed to start from a distance. Very quite. In economic mode the generator ran super-quite and the noise level hardly change with additional load except for the initial surge when power hungry equipment (example A.C.) were stared. Love the wheels at one end and the RV plug.

Warranty is excellent

The generator worked great for less than an hour, then it would shut down. This occurred several times, and we called customer service. As is typical nowadays, it took several days to get a response. On the plus side, when we finally were directed to a certified repair shop, the service was quick, the problem was diagnosed as a manufacturing defect, and a replacement generator was sent immediately. We have yet to use the replacement, but are hopeful it works well.

Love electric start

Ordered this after a wind storm took out our power. Shortly after getting it we had an ice storm that left us without power 4 days/3nights. Being able to start the generator from inside was great. I ordered two more for family members one of which is still without power on day 8.

Great Features and oh so quiet !

I ordered this after losing power to an ice storm . Although I haven't lost power since purchase , I do have peace of mind . The generator is so quiet and has all the features I need to run our heating and refrigeration in the event of a power failure .

Great product, runs great - but loose plug

It ran great out of the box, but a month later it would not start. Talked to customer support several times and finally I took all the outer panels off and found a plug hanging loose. This must have been loose from the factory and finally disconnected and fell off. It now starts fine.

Quiet!

My brother in law purchased this generator for his camping needs. I was impressed with the quiet, easy start up of the generator that I purchased one for myself! My wife will be able to start it too. She had problems pulling the cord on our old generator.

Great features

I purchased this Generator ( my firist one ever) for a camping trip to power a 22 foot bumper pull camper. This unit worked flawlessly. followed the instructions and had no issues. Just read reread and made sure I did not miss anything in preping. Hope to use again in the next 4 weeks when it is colder.

Initial Review

This is my initial review as I just received the inverter generator and haven't had a chance to really try it out. First impression is that it is a decently made unit but can definitely see why it sells for so much less than comparable Honda or Yamaha units. The plastic side panels showed signed of having been flexed during assembly or shipping and some were scratched. This isn't a big deal as I intend to use the unit to power my travel trailer and it is going to take some wear and tear over time. After adding oil and gas, the engine started up right away using the manual start. Upon starting, it was obvious something wasn't quite right as the engine was running rough and very rich. Upon investigation I discovered that the auto choke control wires had come unplugged in transit. I plugged in the wires but have not had a chance to retest as it's 2am and I don't think my neighbors would appreciate a running generator, no matter how quiet. I will update this review as I put more time and testing into the unit. Overall, I would say Westinghouse could have a great product for the price point if they would improve the quality control at assembly.
