Best bang for the buck!

I shopped around looking for an all purpose generator that I could use in the field to power tools and my welder. I like the fact that it is advertised as its running wattage not its peak as so many other generators are. The remote, wheel kit with handle and engine oil are a real bonus, so many other generators charge extra for or don't have those options. Exhaust noise is acceptable and the weight of the unit is to be expected. I can't vouch for the engine but I have no reason to believe it isn't reliable with proper maintenance. If you're looking for a good all purpose generator with plenty if the most wanted features then look no further.

Great features

Followed start up instructions and it worked like a champ right out of box. You need to add another couple of oz of 10-30 oil to fill on top of the qt provided. Charged the battery for about 5 min to get a full charge, used the FOB to start, 3 tries and it fired right up! Its not as loud as other generators I have used, definitely a quality product. I haven't had to use it yet but I'm ready for the storm season.

Peace of mind

My kids bought and installed this generator for me. I now have peace of mind knowing I'm covered if the power goes out..as it does quite often where I live . This generator is so easy to start remotely and I couldn't have ask for a better product. . .

Engineered well, powers up buzz box welder

Bought for use for our house, rental property, and farm. Researched multiple brands, sizes, and capabilities and settled on this to provide back-up power to key circuits in house, ability to run power tools at farm off-grid, and ability to run AC/DC Lincoln welder (buzz-box) in field. Electric start and remote start are great features. No issues with welding.

Looks like a wonderful machine.

I just received this unit a few days ago but wow what a beautiful unit. I expect great things from it. I took off the standard front legs and installed casters to make it easier to move around. I called today to buy a 50A transfer switch kit (item number 210076) only to be told the they no longer sell them. Bummer. Would have been nice to have their switch to go with my generator.

Great Product: easy set up

I had this delivered to my home and it was easy to set up and get going. Everything was explained in the quick guide. It even included oil and a fuel funnel! (But no fuel, obviously.) Within an hour we had it in place, running, and powering the house.

review in order to warrenty and bonus gift

they asked you to warranty and review even though there has not been an event to use the generator for. At this time I can say the product arrived as advertised and the assembly was easy. Looks like a fine piece of equipment. Here's hoping everything goes smoothly when I need it.

Great features and easy to operate

After having over 35 years experiance with Westinghouse electrical products and found out they manufacture generators I new I had to get one. In last 6 months we have had several power outages and being in my 80's wanted something I or my wife can easily start and hook up to house appliances. Remote start is perfect. Looking forward to putting it to the test next power outage. I know i will not be disappointed'

Generator

Bought this for the pending power outages from the riots. Unboxed, filled oil and gas and attempted to start. Took a LONG time to start, I guess working gas thru the system. Never owned a generator before. Its loud but not nearly as loud as I expected. Like a push behind lawn mower.

Great features and easy to assemble

I brought this generator a couple of days ago and I am so glad that I did. The setup and installation was very easy to do. I love the remote start features and easy setup. Also, just a bit of advice, please adhere to the schedule maintenance for your generator’s life span.
