Great looking small generator

Bought this generator for tailgating. Sharp looking. Started up on second pull. Love the digital display on run time remaining. Only feedback is that it doesn’t seem to like full choke at start. 1/2 to 3/4 choke and it starts right up.

Loved my first Westinghouse,this one has problems

My old Westinghouse was great and ran like a champ. I bought this new one a few months ago. I have only run it a few times and it has given me nothing but problems. Hard to start, bogs down with almost no load on it. Definitely frustrated.

Great!

Bought this for a two month camping period using it every weekend and it held up great! Not very loud though we had it on wood so I think that made it louder. Decent weight too!

Easy Start

I bought this to run AC, microwave and frig in horse trailer when I don't have electric and the most important feature was easy start. I give it a 10!

Quality Item

Quality item. Will be great for power outages to keep freezer and/or refrigerator cold. Also will be great to charge our battery in our travel trailer

Hard to start

This generator runs good when you can get it started. It's got all the power I need and it's quiet running. The worst part is is trying to start it. Pull and pull and pull and maybe it'll go. Broke the recoil cord after about five hours.

Well made unit.

Just received this unit. Did the setup and tested with different loads. So far so good. It appears to be will constructed. Other reviewers rated it well, so I'm feeling confident with the purchase.

Good Generator

Purchased two of these along with a parallel cable for emergency house power. I have only used them once for house backup for that so far but I was able to run two gas furnaces, a fridge and some misc. lights and electronics and it was still pretty quiet. I would recommend using non ethanol gas and fuel stabilizer. I always drain the fuel bowls after using the generators .

Very Pleased with Purchase

The generator came two days ago and I started it up. It was very easy to get going as all of the instructions were well written. It started up after a few pulls and I was impressed how quiet it was. I ran it for 1.5 hours to break in gradually at less that 50 percent power. I love the fact I can just pick it up and take it were ever I need it. I'm ready for our next power outage.
