We bought this to power our home freezer and refridgerator due to many power failures. We live in the country and are Senior Citizens and need this reassurance of having this generator to keep us out of the dark. I also can use this for my oxgen for my copd.

Purchased just a few days ago; needed for remote power on the ranch; tools, welder, etc. Started with just a few pulls; propane, have not fueled with gas yet. Only used so far to power small appliances to fulfill "Break in period" before actually putting into the field. My initial impressions are: Appears well built, nicely organized control panel, minimal/easy assembly, easy start, and of course portable. So, at this point I have no significant complaints; base on other reviews, hoping to keep it that way! With that said, just one very minor gripe. It would be nice if the break in period could be performed at the factory under ideal/controlled conditions so the Gen. Set would be ready right out of the box!

Overall the experience was great getting started. The box was a little beat up in shipping but the rugged frame seemed to protect the generator really well. Adding the feat and wheels to it was easier than I expected given the weight, but the compact size made it easy to manipulate. The controls and hardware are intuitive and the manual's documentation was helpful. The only feedback I have is to improve the documentation to make it very clear that only the L14-30 receptacle works when in 240V mode and the TT-30R and 5-20R receptacles only work in 120V mode. This is clear if you study the schematic in the manual or just try it out. Now that I know it's intuitive to why this was done, but it wasn't obvious to me when I was getting started.

So right out of the box I have a gas fuel leak coming from the gas shut off valve. I'm not upset, but hope other owners will inspect their units before using full time. If left unattended this leak could have caused a fire. I'll be reaching out to the manufacturer for a replacement. On a more positive note. The generator fired up first pull with no issues and ran for a while until I found the leak.

I'm extremely happy with the ease of operation of this generator. Haven't needed it yet but I plugged it into my home and was very happy with how many things in my home this little generator can power up. It's perfect for my needs. One complaint is that Westinghouse needs to be more careful when packing these generators. I didn't find out until months after my sons assembled this that the carburetor cover was damaged. Also, the fuel gauge doesn't work properly. I suppose my warranty will cover that. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the purchase of this generator. I have a friend who purchased a bigger model because I was so happy with mine!!

We got this at the beginning of the week and it's already having issues with surging and won't even push a light. We're using a gas treatment on the fuel and followed all the setup procedures in the manual so we're at a loss as to what is going on with it. We use a generator pretty much everyday so we figured buying a new one was going to be easier than to keep fixing the old one we had but as of now that's not the case. We said we'd recommend to others because our luck with products like this is anything but good so maybe it's just us and not the equipment.......

Just got a few days ago and found out easy to set up. Storing outside with a pan cover on top to keep water off and placed on a auto drip pan to keep the bottom dry. When I need it I will move to different location. Setting it up with a transfer switch to my main panel with six different brakers. Looks like this unit will work great. The price was in line with others with the same output.

I had a couple of minor issues: 1) One of the clips holding the air filter cover in place was broken, probably during shipping. 2) Someone had apparently the oil plug/dipstick and then tried to force it back (it's just soft plastic) and stripped the thread on the plug. It still works, but oil had leaked out in the box.

Ran the generator for a few hours just to break it in for the first time just after we picked it up Christmas Eve day so that it would be ready to use when we needed it. Seemed like we had no problems. We lost power a few days ago and went out to start it and had a hard time getting it started. I finaly got it started after about 10 minutes. Ran well after it started and plugged in to it . Ran it for about 15 hours with only needing refueled 1 time. After shutting it down and letting it sit for a few hours I went out to put the cover on it I discovered that I had a huge oil stain on my deck. I checked the dip stick and there was no oil in the engine! Called customer service today and was told to call back Monday thru Friday 8-4 and talk to a repair specialist. Very dissapointed after one use.

Bought this generator to run a sump pump, oxygen concentrator, and fridge when we have a power outage. Setup was straight forward and easy to do. What surprised me was the included flexible spout to add the oil to the crankcase. It was threaded at the motor end to help prevent leaks or spills. I thought that was a great idea! Once I had oil in it, I put some fuel in it and it started right up. I let it run for about 10 minutes then shut it down. Then I got a propane tank set up and started the generator. Both fuel systems seem to work very well. Only bought the unit yesterday so I don't know how it will do running the few things next time we lose power but I don't think there should be any problem.
