Almost half the weight!

Just bought this and was glad I got this one,a little over 100lbs.First generator I can lift.great value with electric start and great runtime .It had a issue from transport, that Westinghouse saw to the first day out of box. Hope i never use it ,but know that won't be the case in Fl.

Great features

We purchased this for my 92 year old father. We felt the electric start would be better than pulling a cord. So far we’ve had it running and it seems to work well. The power hasn’t been out so we haven’t put it to the true test but so far we’re happy with it

Great Value and Performance

The Generator arrived with slight damage from shipping. For the most part, the generator was ready to go from the box. Installed the rubber feet, wheels, and oil very quickly. I was happy that the oil and a funnel was supplied. My model has electric start and came with its own battery that already had a charge. The battery connection is fool proof. Once I added premium fuel, start up was easy. I was not sure what to expect with noise level. This generator is not extremely quiet like an inverter but is much more quiet than other generators of similar power that I've owned and used. My cabin is off the grid and this has provided plenty of power. It has not shown any struggle to power the cabin along with some power tools. No opinion on longevity yet. I just wish this model had a remote start option.

Great features !

Have not had a real chance to use the machine yet. We bought it because of the electric start feature, having wheels and a lot of features that seem to be advantageous for older people in moving it from one place to another and being smaller in size. I was impressed with the reviews and videos on this product.

Quiet, easy setup, home backup generator

Our > 25 year old generator was due for replacement. After researching multiple makes/models this was an easy choice: -Excellent price for a major brand of this capacity -Electric starter with built-in starter battery charger (multiple others require pulling the battery and using an external trickle charger)- works fine, starts quickly -L14-30R 240VAC receptacle (reusing existing power cable to our inside manual transfer switch) -Handle/wheel set included (no need to purchase separately) -Simple, effective, display - voltage, frequency, hours, plus CO alarm indicator -Fairly quiet - with exhaust properly pointed away from the house, nearby windows closed, there was just a little background noise in the rooms immediately adjacent to where it was running (quieter than a small table fan on low speed) -Very good run time given its fairly small size/weight. I'm confident it'll power all of our loads for a full night in the middle of winter, if necessary. I always use ethanol-free regular unleaded, with fuel stabilizer added, for outdoor engines. -Easy setup, good quick start guide Minor nits: -Transport tie wrap on the starter battery cables should be slightly looser. Not harmful but a little overly tight -Starter battery cables should be slightly longer, to facilitate attaching the cable connectors and allow moving it out of the way when filling/refilling oil. Maybe 3" total longer would be quite nice. -Oil fill spout (included) should be slightly longer, again around 2" - 3". It's not quite long enough to bend the inlet side of the spout "up" when filling, though does work okay. While the THD spec is high, during my 3 hr initial test run I was seeing no issues on any of our standard home electronics - LED lighting, home/consumer-grade routers and PCs, monitors/TVs, FIOS internet,... Either the THD is lower when the generator is not pushed to capacity, or after initial startup (a couple minutes total from generator powered on to when I had used the transfer switch to transfer loads to it), but I'm comfortable that it's working fine with our loads. Our 240VAC well pump was cycled a few times during the initial run, 120VAC main home heater and water heater blowers ran several times, and I ran a space heater for added load. (in the Summer we don't use a space heater, but have a few window mounted ACs which have about the same total load). I'll be doing another 3 hr run soon, then refill with 5W-30 synthetic oil for long-term use.

Everything you want and need!

We bought this because we have an older model generator that we're not sure how much longer it'll be around, even though currently it still runs pretty good. But we didn't want to be left in the cold so to speak. One of the best features was the fact that it has the electric start so no more pulling on a cord, Unless you just want to lol! Hubby really loves the muffler system. Great big bonus it has the pug in already on the system to plug in the RV, no adapter needed! We are very happy!

Power On Wheels

I have been seriously looking for generators ever since I lost power this summer for 4 days. Never again, and when I saw all of the features on this Westinghouse unit I had to have it. It was very affordable and knowing that this unit can power all of my house power demands puts me at ease. I'm sure that I will especially love the electric start.

Impressive for the size!

Badly needed a generator since we live in the 'sticks' and lose power often. After a lot of research, decided on this Westinghouse gas only generator. Easy to add wheels, legs, add included oil and gas. One touch and it started..very quiet compared to older generators. We haven't needed it yet but know we are ready for our next outage!!

works well

I ordered the generator and it came about a week earlier than I expected. Thankful it did as we actually lost power 2 days after it was delivered. Put in the oil, gas and connected the battery and started right up. Ran for about 6 hours until power came back on. Powered our well pump, refrigerator, microwave, heat and several lights. Very satisfied.
