Living in New Orleans, every Summer, there is always a threat of a Hurricaine. For years I always have had a generator on hand in the even of elictricity loss. This Westinghouse replaces other generators I've had and this is the first one that the prep assembly is presented in a clear, conside way. My kudos to the \ engineers that designed the build out and panel has been well thought out. First generator that has fired up on the first pull, (even though it has an electric start.}

Very nice and simple. Fill with oil ( included) and gas, quick connect battery, Slide wheels on and tighten 4 nuts and ready to go. Manual pull 5 times for first start up. Wow, electric start and remote smooth no problem.EASY! This is going to change my world. I’m still waiting for an electrician to wire plug to house panel, but powered fridge, space heater a light and charged phone with extension cord

I bought last year wthout needing it at the time. I had just purchased my own home and decided it was a good investment. Well fast forward to this year and we just had a storm. I lost power in the house but used the generator and had ac and lights and was able to use the water. I was super impressed with how quiet it was.

I bought this generator a result of the power outages we experienced during our winter and for projects around the property. I also needed something strong enough to power my small welding machine. With all the positive reviews, I truly believe it will last !

This generator is compact and easily portable-the wheels really help. Started on first try and is significantly quieter than others I have owned. Works like a charm and I am quite impressed with the added features (fuel gauge, auto shutoff, etc.). I highly recommend!

I am a single mom, not very mechanically inclined. A neighbor had loaned me their generator previously and gave me the rundown on how to use it safely, so granted I did have some background knowledge. My teenage son and I were able to get this put together and running with minimal problems. We did have to get a neighbor to help get it running again once it ran out of gas - found that it is really cranky about oil. It took the entire quart supplied, and then had to check it and give it more oil with each gas refill. With the proper amount of oil, it runs very efficiently. It is pretty loud, as expected. I was able to run the sump pump, refrigerator, modem, and computers, which were my primary concerns. We have a well, so, unfortunately, no running water when the power is out. There was enough power left to run incidentals as needed like a vacuum or microwave.

We researched portable generators online, and decided on Westinghouse based on the products rating and company reputation. We have not yet used the generator, and hopefully will not have a storm related power outage that necessitates it. But we are confident that this generator will take care of our needs should the occasion arise. When the product arrived, it was well packed, undamaged and very easy to assemble.

I have owned this generator for two weeks and have not used it in an emergency yet, but I will tell you why I bought this one and not one from another company. It has all the features I need in a very well designed and compact product, plus it was very well priced for the size and quality. I very much like that it came with everything needed to begin using it except for gasoline. It came with oil, a complete owner's manual (on paper), and even a special funnel for pouring the oil into the engine. The wheels come with it and are very easy to install; just propped the frame on a brick. After adding gas to it, it started on the second pull and ran like a top. I am very happy to have this item since I live in a hurricane zone.

Instant electric start, quick as turning a light switch on. Would have given five stars if owners manual was better. Directions was to add oil 'til in operating zone of dip stick.When I got it to the operating zone the full quart was consumed, so dump the full quart in and skip all the repeated checks of dip stick. Could not find capacity in specs. Over all quality of gen. is very good. Especially like the fuel shut off valve between gas tank and carburetor as this allows bowl to be completely emptied out preventing build up of carbon in the jets, a problem I had on my old gen.

I bought this generator to replace an old one I have. During the recent hurricane Helene it ran 24 hrs a day for 6 days while we were without power kept the lights on water running fridge cold and tv playing with the latest information on storm damage could not be happier with this product kept us from being in the dark
