First, I live in coastal North Carolina.  The longest without power was 3 week (Florence) and after my generator died providing power after Dorian it was time to look for a replacement.  If your reading this review, you already looked at all the features, so I'm only going to focus on what I thought were minor flaws with the product. Oil.  The generator comes with 1.16 qts of oil.  When you pour the oil into the tank, it does not read on the dipstick.  So....Is the dipstick too short?  Is there not enough oil in the tank?  IDK...I'll play it safe and fill the oil to where it reads on the dipstick without screwing it in. Battery cable placement.  I had to reroute the negative cable because it rubs the wheel. The cables stick out beyond the frame..  Noise level.  The big one everybody wants to know. I think my 21 hp JD lawn tractor is a bit louder than this. So, if it came with the right amount of oil or right size dip stick, I would have given 5 stars.

When it came in we open the box and pulled the generator out. After checking the generator over we add the oil, and did a precheck . We put some fuel in the tank and it started right up the frist time. We ran it with some power tools with no problem, and would work good for the house also.

It comes with all the options for heavy equipment connections to cellphones and a way to charge the generator battery if needed without taking the battery out. I got the GAS model but being able to get the tri-fuel system is great. really sturdy product. As a cherry on the top, the remote ON/OFF is another great feature.

Straight from the box, we were extremely impressed. It was very easy to set up and get ready. We haven’t started it yet but I will update as soon as I have ran it. Tons of excellent features. There wasn’t a single hesitation when ordering this generator versus the others. Such a great price point for such an excellent machine. I love that they offer a bonus item for reviewing since it encourages others to leave those helpful reviews we all look for when deciding on products. This generator has TONS of great reviews and very impressed customers. I won’t even be upset if Texas gets another snow storm this year now.

I've been wanting a standby generator for years but way too spendy! This one fit the bill for my home and the wattage that I need. It arrived on time, no troubles. After I put it together and filled it with oil, it started right up. I hooked it up to some heaters and a vacuum and ran it for an hour with no problems. The big test will be when the power goes off again and where I live, that is quite often. Overall, a very nice generator and I love the controls and the remote start. Very well built!

I bought this generator a few days ago and let me tell you its amazing. It is less priced than its competitors it comes with the handle, wheel kit, battery for electric start, oil, funnel, tools and much more. It has great power i can run almost my whole house excluding electric stove and central air. This is the best purchase I have made in a long time.

Picked up my Generator a couple days ago. Real heavy-needed help from neighbor to unload. Assembly for wheels and front feet was super easy. Filled the engine with oil and put a little gas in the tank then hit the button and it fired right up. Friends that have seen it are extremely impressed. Test it on a few small items like power tools and shop equip. The big test will come later this year if we get a hurricane. I hope to power my entire house, but lets hope no hurricanes.

I purchased this generator after my father purchased the same unit and was satisfied with the quality for the price. Compares to other units in this price range you get more features with Westinghouse. My only complaint is the unit showed up scratched. Thats the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5

We have been having multiple-day power outages after the recent storms, and since we live in a rural area, are usually the last to get power restored. The most recent outage lasted over 7 days, which meant no water from our well pump (for showers, or toilets), or heat (our home got down to 54°). Having to go to a restaurant to use "the facilities" or get warmed up was just awful. I was determined not to go through that again, so I bought this generator after reading reviews and consulting an electrician to determine the size. The remote electric start is a blessing since I am not as capable as I used to be. This generator meets the needs of my entire house without breaking stride, runs reliably, and I feel relieved that I can count on having power when I need it. This is definitely a purchase every home owner should have considering our aging infrastructure.

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+++++
