So Far So Good! Excellent Generator!

I just bought this over the Christmas break to prepare for rolling blackouts over the summer and during windy seasons. I wanted a generator big enough to lift the whole house, primarily my central AC. I haven't had a chance to load test it yet, however shipping was in perfect condition. Unboxed it with all parts included. Mounted the wheels (Took 5 mins). Battery was already hooked up to the terminals so all I had to do was connect the pigtails (10 secs). Added the oil (supplied) and gas and fired her up. She started right away with the push start button. Ran her for 15 minutes without load and she sounded great. Programmed the remote (another nice feature) and started her up with it without any issues. I'm having an electrician come out to install a transfer switch to my panel so time will tell how she performs when she'd needed. But I have no doubt she will.

Love all of the power voltage options

I purchased this as a portable backup generator for our home. Assembly was very easy and straight forward. I filled with the supplied oil, connected the supplied battery, put gasoline in the fuel tank, opened the fuel cock valve, put the choke into choke mode, hit the start button and the engine started up very quickly. The choke automatically goes into run mode. Hooked the generator to some electrical tools and everything ran flawlessly. Very happy with this generator and my purchase!

Outstanding Generator

The Generator arrived at my residence as advertised. Everything was included for easy set up. Once the generator was set up, it fired up with a push of a button. That electric start is outstanding. I am very pleased with the remote start key fob and the included battery charger. Outstanding value, very pleased with my purchase.

Easy set up and ready to go

We bought this as our backup power supply for our new solar system with a direct connect. The unit is clearly well-built and very easy to get set up and running. If I were to complain about anything on the unit I would say that I wish it ran quieter. It seems like this would be an easy thing for WH to modify with a better muffler system. It's not horrible but you do not want it running near where you are socializing for long periods of time. The fuel tank takes about 6.6 gallons of gasoline. I put about 3 gallons in the tank the first time and could not tell if the fuel gage was registering or not. It may require a full tank to register, or the 'dial indicator' is not working.

our first use, the equipment powerfull

I bought the equipment in Junio 2024, in the area we live is an old neighborhood and we lose power often with any storm. We went thru the last Hurricane Helene. Our power generator worked straight for14 hours. We are very satisfied with the performance. I do recommend this product. Thanks

awesome power and convenience features

Bought this generator for emergency use and luckily have not had to use it. but its pretty much ready to go right out of the box! the remote is a nice feature. I'm going to have a professional set up a cable from the unit to my breaker box. I'll be able to close off the main breaker and then back flow power to the box during power failures. Its not an automatic solution, but we don't experience many power failures where I live.

Great product and price!

This generator has it all! Came with all the bells and whistles in terms of features and included everything necessary to get started (oil, tool kit, batteries, charger) right out of the box. Powerful, starts fast, runs quietly, and with the 6.6 gallon tank keeps running all night.

Great features, excellent gas capacity and run tim

I ordered this during the last ice storm in North Carolina. The one I was using had issues during that storm. I have this one set up and ready for the next storm. The only negative I found was the instructions did not instruct me to hook the wires from the hot battery cable. I called the help line and after directions from the help line, proceeded with no additional issues. It started right away with the manual start.

raring to go

I purchased the generator about 4 months ago after outages in our area. While I have not had to use the generator, I found it easy to set up and prepared for use. The generator started up immediately and responded to the remote starter right away. I am pleased with our decision to choose Wesrtinghouse!

So far, I am very impressed!

It arrived this morning via freight. It took about 20 mins to unbox it and get the wheels and front legs on it. Once I pulled it into my backyard, I filled it with the 1.1L oil shipped with it. Nice touch on just the exact amount!! Then I filled it full of gas and then connected the battery leads. I hooked up my generator plus into my transfer switches and then flipped the run button to ON and pressed the start button. I forgot to turn the gas line on, so once I did that, the start button fired it right up. I then switched from line power to generator power to see how this big thing would handle the load. It never missed a beat. After being without power for 9 days due to the Easter tornado, We will be able to run much more of our home in the future if a similar incident occurs. I highly recommend this generator. A+++++
