More power without the bulk!

I currently have a generator that has 1700 running watts for ice fishing. I hangs in there but I needed something with a little more power and this fit the bill without adding any more bulk or weight from my current generator. The display on this is a great feature and added benefit you don’t get with other generators. Definitely recommend this product.

So Far So Good

Generator arrived promptly after ordering. It had no physical damage and was packaged very good. I had not physically seen this generator before purchase and was pleased with how well it was built and features after unpacking. I have not put it into use yet and is why I only rated it 4 stars. After I use it, I will update review if I encounter problems

Ready for the Road

Bought for my camper. This little generator will power the A/C when I decide to camp off the grid. Hooked up to portable A/C from house and it ran perfectly at only 50% power, leaving me plenty of household appliances to run. Vey proud of this little generator. Not only can it be used for tailgating, boon docking, and on the pontoon boat, perfect back up to keep all refridgerators and freezers ice cool when the power goes out. Most small generators only have 15A recepticles, this one has 20A recepticles which will allow you to operate so much more. Great Choice for a generator!

New couples RV

Everything expected, nice layout of control panel, weight, ease of fueling/oil filling and starting. My first pull on cord was lazy checking force needed, started first time decent pull. Machine runs very quiet and the price was much better than compatible.

Quiet But Hard to start

I bought it in March of 2022. The only issue is it will take 20 to 30 pulls to start! I only use ethenol-free fuel. Handel's load well, I am able to run a 13,000btu RV a/c unit with no issues. I did 3 oil changes for the break-in. each time the oil got cleaner. The button to page through the readout is cheap and sometimes hard to get to the readout you are looking for.

Highly recommend, especially for RV camping

I purchased this generator to run my Rockwood Mini-light 2109S travel trailer. It has a 13.5K BTU air conditioning system. It was actually able to start the AC with no modifications but I am at 340 feet above sea level. I purchased the Micro-Air soft start for the air conditioner and now this generator can run the AC even in econo-mode. The generator is very quiet and spools up instantly when needed. This generator has an LED display that tells how much power you're drawing, how much fuel is left, voltage and how much run time you have at any given power setting. The only thing it is missing is a hobbs meter but this unit beats the Honda 2000 in power and has more features. The only question I couldn't get an answer for is the type of cylinder (Cast iron or other?). So far, I can't speak highly enough of this generator. Westinghouse has been around for a long time. Parts shouldn't be a problem... 3 year warranty. DO IT!!

Nice emergency generator

Just purchased this recently as an emergency power source after going through a 4 day blackout. Easy to set up. Started right up and performed as advertised. It was a little louder than I was expecting, particularly under large loads but still not so loud that it is annoying.

Great features for the size

In the last week my electric company lost power on 2 occasions for 6 hours each. Back in July of 2019 I had no power for 2 and a half days. I finally said enough is enough. I ran my fridge, garage freezer, home entertainment, DSL internet and a couple LED lamps. No problem. Great and very happy.

2nd unit with problems

The first unit I bought would not start, even after I followed all of the manufacturers suggestions. The second unit started after about 10 pulls. A puddle of gas quicklky formed on my garage floor. I opened up the side and found the gas leaking from under the carb. The second unit will be repaired under warranty.

Light weight and portable

The digital display really sets this apart from other generators in this size and price range. The display will let you cycle through voltage, output power (in kW), lifetime hours, fuel quantity remaining (in liters), and time remaining on fuel. All the functions seem to work just fine and the power output was accurate. You just can't find this feature set in other generators, especially the lifetime hours which is helpful for me to schedule oil changes and such.
