The day this generator was delivered, my power went out from a storm and I actually needed it to run my sump pump. After I added the engine oil (included), added gas, flipped the kill switch, and set the choke; the generator fired up after a couple of pulls. The outlet cover flaps are also a great feature. I didn't realize how dusty it gets in my garage, so those flaps keep the outlets clean and clear. Great product.

We bought this about a month ago for just Incase. Glad we did!! Power went out last night due to storm and our pumps downstairs quit working due to that. Got the generator out and plugged those in plus fridge and tv. We were all set no flooded basement no spoiled food!!

This thing is great! Not loud at all, very fuel efficient, and powers everything I need! I'm running my fridge, a window unit, a box fan, and a tv plus the phone charger on this with no issue! Ran on a full tank for the full night when I tested it running everything I'll need of another hurricane decides to come through. Startup was super simple too and came to life with an easy pull! My partner cranked it too and she was amazed how easy and quick it was. It only has two outlets so you'll need to work on using one of the other outlets if you need more but I already had the 30amp attachment so I plugged it in and now I can use all 3600 watts I paid for! Thank you for a great device!

And nice camping accessory! We had a snow storm and lost power for just over a day, it's happened more and more lately so I said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and got a darn generator. Delivery was wonderful and fast, generator was perfect, well packed for shipping and included all you need to start right off (minus gas of course). I do recommend getting a 30 amp cord to make full use of it's capabilities. Two big thumbs up.

Recently purchased this after a large ice storm power outage. The Wgen3600v is a lot of bang for the buck. Machine is well made and has nice features. Comes with everything needed to get the machine up and running. Longevity is obviously to be determined but so far would definitely recommend Westinghouse generators.

Had the generator for 1 month, and 3 power outages. We've put almost 30 hours on it. Very impressed. Starts everytime with 1 pull. A little loud, but not too bad. Make sure you get the extra generator cord with the L5-30P plug. When we first got it, only could use the 110v outlet plugs. Only complaint is the oil plug. Not very easy for changing the oil - gets all over the frame when draining.

Specifications should have been included in the manual instead of 1-page flyer. 0.6 Qt. oil capacity was not referenced anywhere as being the same as the included oil container. Oil fill flexible funnel was barely long enough to be adequate for filling oil without spilling oil out the top of very small funnel opening. Not clear that there was a 3600 and a 3600v, and that my 3600v did not include wheels like the otherwise identical 3600.

The generator arrived in good condition. Read through the instructions and had it running in no time. The oil had leaked in the plastic bag it was shipped in but contained it. Filled it with fuel and oil and gave it a couple of slow pulls to try and get some oil and fuel moving around. Turned the switch on and it started on the third pull and ran good. I ran it for about 15 minutes looking for leaks and none were noted. Next day I loaded it into my truck and drove it to my RV. Hooked it up to the RV and pulled on the cord and it broke off in my hand. The first six inches of pull cord looked like it had been burned and became very brittle thus breaking. I was peeved to say the least. I removed the recoil and was able to snake enough pull cord through and re-tie it to the handle so I could at least try and start the generator. I was able to start it but you could definitely notice the shorter pull. It ran on my RV for over an hour and provided the power I needed. I called customer service later that day (Saturday) and he was no help whatsoever. Customer service said to call back during normal hours. Why answer the phone on Sat/Sun if you cannot provide customer service?? I probably would have given it 4 stars if the pull robe had not broke and the poor customer service.

I bought this Westinghouse WGen3600 generator as a backup for power during the last hurricane. I was very pleased with the overall build and design of the generator. It is made to last. It was able to run the refrigerator, and freezer and keep some lights on while also running the tv and our other devices charged. The setup of the generator was very easy and I was very pleased that it came with the wheels and handle set. That normally would be an additional purchase. Overall this was a great purchase for me.

Bought this last December to prepare us for another freeze in Texas in case we have another brown out. We ended up using it when we went camping. We are happy with our purchase for the price it did what it need to do as much as the expensive ones. Highly recommended
