EASY - EASY

Easy set up, start and run. Works great with my 5th wheel and after installing a Micro-air easy start it will even run the 15k btu AC unit - great generator

So far so good

I have only used the generator 3 times and so far it is working fine. Quiet and easy to start (usually 2 pulls). I have run power saw lights and small air compressor and worked great.

Good generator when the big power isn't needed

Small, relatively lightweight and well balanced to move around, even for a somewhat older user. The manual is good, to the point, but one thing I had to find out on the internet from other reviews was that the ease of starting and the idling later on in use depends upon a bit of a run-in. Now starts on first or second pull, which isn't too hard, and once running, I can now back down from full choke to have it run without stuttering

Good little item

Used it for the first time today when we lost power. Already broken in so it started right up after two pulls. Keep my fridge running and that was all I really cared about. Using non-ethanol gas as I read some reviews on keeping it in ready condition.

Generator Backup for Power Outage and Refrigerator

Bought at a discount about two week before a predicted 'rolling blackout' power-outage. Thankfully, I got it just in time, we ended up out of power for a full day, and the generator worked perfectly to keep my refrigerator running fine. Best purchase this year.

Quiet small generator

Was looking for a small and quiet generator for some concerts I play in the middle of nowhere as well as on the lake on our pontoon. Friend of mine bought one, showed it to me....and I was hooked! Very quiet, very good small generator. Can carry on a conversation 6' away without raising voice. Yes, you hear it from only 6', but you're not fighting to be heard over it at that distance. 30' away with exhaust pointed opposite direction, it can barely be heard at all. Starts very easily on first pull.

2/3 worked, replacements did too.

I bought 3 units in august 2020. One worked beautifully. The other 2 were opened in April of 2021, neither would start out of the box. Sams was great with replacing them immediately. The replacements both worked perfectly. Just a bit strange 2 out of 3 wouldn't start the first time.

Good for backup

Came as described, started and produced electricity. bought as a backup. Don't trust the manufacture for the "free" cover if you give a review, haven't see the one they promised.

Disappointed

I bought two of these inverters at the same time. I followed the start up directions exactly and yet one of them would not even start and the other one idles inconsistently even with no load. I took the one that would not start back to the store. The one that runs seems to do ok supporting a refrigerator and a small fan. I guess I'll keep the second one.

Great price but.."....

Purchased on sale, great value. Took extra long time to arrive. Didn't even ship until after original delivery date. After setting up, started 3 try. Afterwards always first pull. Would hardly run when in run position. Had to have it just slightly above choke position to run. That leads me to believe it was running very lean and starving for fuel. It would run a bit better if vent was turned off. Contacted Sams first and could not have asked for a better experience. Was told I would be sent a return label and monies refunded. I told them I wanted to try it for a few days and see if it got any better. I did and it didn't. It would not produce enough power to run a small microwave in my travel trailer. Contacted Westinghouse because I really wanted it to work. I got someone who only dispatched calls to technicians and was told I would be contacted by a technician. Waited 3 days and was never contacted. Called again and same song. Told them to cancel my request, I would return the generator to seller. Contacted SamsClub again and was told since they were out of stock, I could return to my local Sams for a refund. Did so today, took about 5 minutes in the store. Sams 5 stars, Westinghouse 1.
