Think unit was dropped. Frame bent and could not fold out the towing handle for moving it around. Had to unbolt it then put it back. Also air cleaner body had crack in it. Put gas in and it leaked all over the unit. The gas line hose had a hole in it where it connects to the sediment cup/shut off. Was able to clip the hose past the hole and reinstall. Too much trouble to return so will use as is. Other than the above it seem to run fine and started right up.

I bought this item because of multiple outages at home and for future use as a power supply for my RV. Does exactly what I wanted it to do. It is quieter than most generators, which is great for my neighbors. It also comes in handy for jobsites without power. Has a good run time.

I bought this back in May for my mother. She was having yrouble starting the one she had with the pull cord. I bought this electric start and trded her generators. I bought it to hook up to a house=generator transfer switch during power outages. The key fob start is get for not having to go outside to start it up during a storm and the 14.5 hr run time is great for running over night. So far no issuses. Best to kept it covered and out of the elements in a generator shed.

I bought this item to replace an old generator, and the starter makes all the difference in immediate operation, especially in an emergency. Called customer service to answer questions regarding a home transfer switch, and they were very knowledgeable and recommended safe practices for home use. Outstanding! Thank you!

So just got our new Westinghouse generator. Was happy to see how easy it was to set up. Haven't used it yet but was surprised with all the features it has and safety measures. Looking forward to using it when needed. Very happy with the electric start .

Just recently purchased, haven't had much chance to give it a full workout. I like the features and the practicality. I did notice a dent in the alternator cover, like it was set down on that end in warehousing or shipping. Other than that, I think it will meet my needs.

I just received this generator today. I performed the minimal assembly and introduced the lubricant provided. It started on the second crank and tested very well. I like that the wheels are not inflatable, that was a problem with the one that was stolen. It appears to be very well built, I like the fuel gauge.

I purchased this back in November just before cold weather hit. Due to high winds we have been out of power at least 3 times and up to 2 days. This generator was wonderful! First, I only had to refuel once after 20 hours. It kept my fridge running, kitchen lights, 3 lamps, TV, and two separate electric heaters. It comes with a multi-plug so you don’t have to run wires everywhere and I can actually move it anywhere myself - it’s not super heavy and it has an easy grip handle/bar so you can roll it around on its back wheels without breaking your back. Only thing I could possible complain about is it’s a bit loud, but you get use to the sound.

The assembly not very difficult. I did find the funnel they provided for adding the included oil a bit frustrating as it only allowed you to pour the oil at what seemed to be an unnecessarily slow rate. But that is a very minor thing and I'm nitpicking. After set up was complete, it started right up and ran like a top.

I recently purchased this generator. After reading the instructions and watching a video , assembly was relatively easy. It started on the second pull . I attached my extension cords and powered up 2 devices. Generator ran flawlessly and was quieter than expected. So glad I bought this Westinghouse generator.
