Broken after a month

I bought this a month ago and it is already leaking oil badly... I try to buy the same brand generators for my company, but after this experience, I may be looking for a new brand.... the only thing that may save Westinghouse's reputation with me is how they handle the warranty on this thing. fingers crossed they help me out.

Strong Standby!

We experience power outages 3-4 times a year regardless of the maintenance the linemen do. A friend suggested this brand as "rock solid" and he was right! easy to put together along with engine prep and in using the key fob fired right up on the first hit! the push button start on the unit itself fired up in one push . . .now i know my wife can start it if i'm not home and its gives her confidence to!

Great product, highly recommended

I appreciate the variety of outlets offered to ensure powering everything within the house from appliances to electronics to keep my family happy. The remote and push button start features are great alternatives compared to the traditional pull cord. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a generator.

Great Generator!!!

I bought this a year and a half ago and haven't had to really use it. That is why it took so long to write this review. I go out every month and start it and put a load on it to keep it fresh. It starts first pull every time and has more than enough power to run my whole house. I am very pleased with the engineering of the unit and the ease of attaching equipment. So far, this has exceeded my expectations. If you need a generator, this is the one.

So Far So Good

bought this to replace a generac that has seen better days. Haven’t had to use it yet, but the setup was pretty straightforward and started up after a few presses of the start button. after getting it started outside for the first time, the remote start worked from inside the house as I hoped.

Has excellant features

We bought this unit last month and have only performed a test run. It is much quieter than expected and has all the features that we wanted. We were also impressed that the unit came with a curved funnel to easily pour the oil. We bought the unit in preparation for the PGE safety power outages and hopefully we will not have to use it often. It appears to be the reliable energy backup we were expecting.

Great Value

This generator is well made and has some really nice features. Electric start, wheel kit, voltage/frequency/hour meter. It even comes with a trickle charger to keep the battery charged. The owners manual is very detailed and the maintenance section is informative. The gas tank is steel, not plastic. I was impressed with the build quality.
