This generator is a perfect fit for us! Very little assembly is required and,as soon as we added the oil,it started on the first pull! During these trying times,having a good generator is essential when the power is shut off. This year,it has happened too often and we cannot continue without good equipment such as this Westinghouse generator.Thank you!

ONE SUGGESTION; MOVE THE CROSS MEMBER 1" TOWARD THE END OR MORE SO OIL DOES NOT RUN DIRECTLY ONTO THE FRAME WHEN OIL IS CHANGED. IT IS INTENDED TO BE USED FOR POWER OUTAGES TO RUN LIGHTS, HEAT, AND WATER PUMP. MAY BE USED OCCASIONALLY FOR CAMPING. ATTRACTIVE GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL IS NICELY LAID OUT. HANDLE FOR MOVING IT AROUND IS A LITTLE OVER KNEE HIGH. GOOD LITTLE LIGHT WEIGHT MACHINE. I'LL RECOMMEND IT TO PEOPLE.

Everything needed was included in the box. In less than 30 minutes I had the generator unpacked, wheels and feet installed, oil filled (supplied), filled with fuel and had it purring away. I let it run for about 15 minutes before I put it underload for the very first time. I connected our RV to the 30 amp outlet (TT-30R 120V 30A) and powered up the all the RV lights, fridge, electric water heater etc and then the air-conditioner and it worked great. I could hardly hear the generator once the AC was running. I went outside and was very happy with the noise level emitted by generator with basically everything electrical in the RV powered up and the AC running on max. It was much lighter than I expected and very easy to move about, however I would caution you to only pull the generator behind you don't try to push it with the handle or it may end up flopped over on its back (don't ask me how I know this :D ).

I bought this after reading many generator reviews. Westinghouse was highly rated and I see why. It has a lot of features and is well designed and put together very well. I picked this size for a balance between fuel economy and power. I appreciate its mobility and reasonable weight (135 pounds). And the auto start is a great feature for us older folks.

Seems like a good generator minus 2 issues right out of the box. The first was that the oil fill cap wasn't tightened after the oil was drained at the factory, so the residual oil leaked out all over the generator and box, which required a fair amount of clean up. Secondly, one of the retaining clips for the air filter housing was broken, also right out of the box. WH was very good though about sending out a replacement part, so kudos to them for having good service. Aside from that, seems like a solid unit and i'm hoping for years of service.

I recently purchased this generator because of the features. I needed a generator with a 120 / 240 volts switch. This generator not only looks great but comes with the wheels which is an extra purchase with other generators. It is perfect for my needs.

With just a little work, this was ready to go as soon as the box opens. Love the different amp options, the long run time of 14.5 hours, the carbon monoxide sensor, and the peace of mind this machine offers. This is more than enough to run our essential items when (not if) the power is cut off because of inclement weather.

ALL THE SWITCHES AND GAUGES ARE EASY TO SEE AND READ. THIS GENERATOR IS EASY TO MOVE AROUND AND STORES IN A SMALL CORNER OF THE GARAGE. AFTER FILLING WITH GAS AND OIL ONE PULL ON THE CORD AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I BELIEVE I MADE THE BEST PURCHASE FOR OUR HOUSE WHEN AND IF WE LOSE POWER.

Bought this for hurricane season and unexpectedly needed it 3 months later when the power was out for a week due to Hurricane Beryl. Worked great no thanks to the instruction manuel. If I had any mechanical knowledge I would have known it there was inaccurate steps, but it took usage and the internet to make me realize what was wrong. Knowing what I am doing now makes it a very nice generator for what we need. Highly recommended.

I bought this generator a month ago. I had very hard time firing the generator and there was a blowing sound. After a lot of attempts, it started to run, but kept shutting off. Besides all these, I should add that this is a powerful device and could light my entire ranch (excluding the electric stove and dryer).
