Simple, Easy to use

Exactly what I was looking for and works as described. My only suggestion is to provide a more detailed break in process. I had to do my own research as the owners manual is fairly vague.

EXCEPTIONAL FEATURES

GREAT! LIGHT WEIGHT AND A RATHER QUIET PORTABLE GENERATOR. IT OFFERS A LITTLE MORE POWER THAN COMPETING NAME BRANDS. FURTHERMORE, IT STARTS VERY EASILY; PLAN TO USE IT FOR TRAVEL AND AS A BACKUP FOR OUR FREEZER AND REFRIGERATOR, ETC.

Great generator

Used it to power my rv during deer hunting season, worked perfectly. Started great when cold (19° F). Very quiet and fuel efficient. Highly recommend. I will be getting another one with a link cable so I can run the ac in the rv.

Exactly the answer

I needed a small generator for my boat to run and A/C and battery chargers. It is the most compact, and reliable source of power away from the grid! Couldn't be happier with it!

Great generator! This is the second year to use at deer camp. Works great. The other night went to start and the pull cord broke. It still should be under the 3 year warranty, but will have to see if they fix it. Will have to look up to see who to call.

DOA

First off, I would like to thank Samsclub for being extremely helpful in the return process. Unfortunately, this brand new generator is a dud. I followed the instructions, added oil, fresh gas (non-ethanol even), choke on, fuel vent on. I crank on the generator and it runs for a second. I crank it again and it doesn't even attempt to run. If I let it sit for a few minutes and try again, it may run for a second or two. Check for fuel in the carburetor bowl and all is good there. Finally, I came back to the reviews on this generator and in the last two weeks, a bunch of other people were having the same issue! Westinghouse put out a batch of bad generators. I called Westinghouse customer service and after being on hold for 10 minutes twice, I was hung up on, TWICE. Poor quality generator, poor customer service. FYI, this generator design is used in many other brands as it is outsourced from China. I'm upset to get rid of it, but it looks like i'll be paying to bucks to get a reputable HONDA generator.

Will not stay running

I bought this online and got it the 24th of this month put oil and gas that was recommended for it. Started and ran for 3 seconds then quit did this a dozen times. Made sure it was getting gas to carburetor bowl. Only other thing I could think it would be is the kill switch is hung or broken

Quiet...then I used econ & whisper

I was very pleased that 1 pull starts this gen right out of the box. I thought it was quiet until I noticed the econ switch was off and then it got even quieter! I hooked it up to a portable ac unit and it handled it without a problem. A little kick up in throttle and then settled out even on econ! The real test will come later in the field.
