Great Compact 50amp Generator

I'm surprised how quite the generator is while running. It's compact size with a 50amp output connector, plugs directly into my house. Next hurricane I'll be ready with enough power to run 3/4 of my house. I was surprised how well the electric starter works. I guess now I'm spoiled. LOL

Works fine so far

I bought this a month ago. Used it once when we experienced the power outage. It is powerful enough for my needs. I like the indicator showing Voltage, Frequency and Time used. Looking forward to get warning about needed preventive maintenance at preset hours, seems to be very clever cost/damage saving feature. I also like automatic choke very much, as it was always dicey to explain to my wife how to operate the old generator with manual choke. Not sure what the gas consumption would be with light load vs. full load, there is no description of this in manual (my old Generac was able to switch to low output). It does not have any oil filter, which I think is a serious omission for such large 13.5HP engine, it would certainly prolong engine life. I wish it had come with the advertised remote control. Needless to say that Westinghouse promised to send me one, since it was missing in original shipment.

Great Generator

I bought this after the last 2 storms knocked power out in our area. Easy set up and started first try! Shipping was delayed due to storm shipping backlogs but I will be ready for the next outage. I wired it into my panel and gave it a try, and pleasantly discovered I can run most of my house. Glad I made the purchase!

Great Features

This generator has everything I would possibly need to operate my home in the event of a loss of power. I chose a gasoline only generator because my home doesn’t have access to natural gas, which made the purchase cheaper and/or allowed me to purchase a generator capable of producing a greater amount of wattage. After my 3rd time of being without electric I knew it was time to purchase one and the research and reviews pointed me to Westinghouse generators, and the price allowed me to purchase the size I need to operate all the essentials would need in a power outage!

Outstanding Quality

This model generator exemplifies excellent craftmanship, it will power everything in my house including the AC! It purrs quietly compared to most other brands and the remote key fob is a great feature! The 3 year warranty beats the 3 month or 1 year warranty other brands offer. Highly recommended.

Powerful and great features.

This generator has all the power I need to run the essentials of of my home. Set up was a easy snap. Directions are also easy to follow. Once you assemble the feet and wheels and fill with the provided oil you are ready to start. After a couple of tries it started right up. I let it run for about an hour before I put a load on it. Then gradually over the next two hours I increased the load. I am able to run lights, two TV's, furnace, two air handlers and well pump all at the same time. very impressed with the design and ease of use. A remote starter is a nice added feature. Now I'm ready for the next power outage.

Nice looking!

Bought this unit after we lost power for 11 days last year. We had to rent a generator( smaller in size) and the cost of the rental for 11 days was more than the purchase price of this one. Haven't had to use it yet. Just unboxed it to assemble the wheels and feet. I like that it has 3 different start options. It will be easy to maneuver and set up by myself if and when it is needed. It is quite heavy. Our box came with oil spilled on it from transport but was otherwise is good condition.

Great features and simple to start

Very easy to set up and start. Added oil,put in fuel, started up first try. Have not tried to power the appliances yet. Would have given 5stars but the staples on the box scratched the frame in shipping. (Cosmetic damage only). Missing 2bolts and a washer. Looking forward to running the generator.

Awesome value

I bought this product after going through numerous power outages. I had my electrician put a plug on the side of the house so we could operate our kitchen appliances, freezer, master bed bedroom and bath and garage door opener. Very pleased with this product.

Great features!

Just got it and very excited to use it and see how much of my house it will run since we have all electrical appliances. Very nice out of the box, easy to assemble and very nice looking. Remote, push button start and 50 amp capability are my favorite features. I have no doubt it is going to be a great addition to our back up power system.
