Just what I needed

Bought this as a replacement for an older non inverter generator. This has exactly what I need to run the furnace should the power go out. Although I have not been able to put it to its intended use yet, it performed well during testing.

Much better than expected

I bought this Generator to replace my Yamaha 4500 which is an awesome generator, but it weighs over 200 lbs and its getting harder and harder to move around every year. I use the generator for my RV which has 2 AC units and a microwave. Although it's advertised that it will run two AC units, I don't think it likes it. My Yamaha didn't like it either. This generator is extremely quiet, the quietest generator I have ever heard of this size. I love the remote start, Yamaha also had the remote start, a must for cold weather camping. I am excited to give this thing a full test on our upcoming family camp. So far I am loving this new generator and so is my back.

Not what we expected

It was easy to setup and get started. Not nearly as quiet as expected, has a massive amount of vibration. We ran it in the driveway for awhile my husband said it doesn't sound like it is idling down properly. We don't have any camping trips planned till August this was bought for our new 34 ft travel trailer. We plan to do some remote camping with it just hope it runs our a/c and isn't too noisy. Also really disappointed that we couldn't get the cover for it as a bonus gift for leaving a review website said they were having an issue with supplier and only had the 15 ft power strip available......really would have liked the cover!

It appears to be well built.

Looks very nice. Didn't run as I would have hoped. After completing the setup as the manual describes I pulled the cord and it fired immediately. However, after a few seconds it started sputtering and puffing black smoke. Just like a stuck choke would. It then smoothed out and sounded great for a few seconds then right back to rough idle and black smoke. I will call tech support and hope they have a fix. I might have missed it somewhere but maybe there is a manual choke override or something. I am very optimistic that this problem will be resolved and I will have a great generator. It sure is impressive to look at.

Great features, poor design

All the features are nice. However I've had issues with the choke and the wiring not being connected. Maintenance is difficult as the access panels are far too small. Changing oil is difficult. Used for ice fishing and didn't have any issues with run time or having enough power to run the fish house.

Compact but heavy

This is a nice generator. Easy to set up and use. Loaded with nice features on the main panel. Weighs in at about 120lbs. Make sure to have someone around to help lift it into your rig. Had troubles finding serial number on machine so I could register it. They place it in a very unusual spot and don't ID it as the serial number. Just a bar code and long number underneath. Stripped amchine down trying to find it and ended up damaging some connections on a side panel in the process. Very bummed over this damage and I haven't even been able to hook it up to my RV yet.

Generator is shipped containing some oil

I think it is a quality generator, but one thing I did not appreciate was that the amount of oil provided was more than the generator needed to start. The manual says to add that volume, yet it overflowed and created a large mess for me to deal with during the break-in. It also says in the manual that the generator is shipped without oil. Simply send the amount of oil that the generator needs for start-up so we do not have that issue.

Great features AND VERY quiet

Every feature you could want: Long run time (21 hrs on econ. mode), same loudness to Honda of equal size, Pull start, Elect. start AND Remote start. Not heavy (for me) at 100lb witout the 3.6 gallon gas fuel tank. A beautuful color (blue), Two handles and a pull bar with wheels. Battery included with a bottel of 10w30 oil. Easy instructions, written in understandable English. Very infomative digital readout of engine/power performance.

My First Westinghouse Generator

Just took it out of the box and followed the start up procedures and it fired right up. Pulled it outside next to my old generator and asked my wife what she thought as I started them up one at a time. My new Westinghouse generator is much quieter than my old one. I can't wait to take out camping with us to get the full experience of it. I will pull in my 32' 5th wheel as soon as I get through the break in period.

Not running well out of the box

Wish I could give it a better grade. Love everything about it feature wise, but it sputters when it is hot. Has stalled numerous times. People are relying on me to provide power at a tailgate, but the thing keeps stopping. Embarrassing, annoying, and disappointing. They have a real winner on their hands feature wise, but why not build something that works.
