Great generator

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.

Good so far.

This machine so far is working very well. It has great features, easy assembly, everything included that was needed, and appears very stable in its build quality. After initial assembly, all it took was one pull of the start cord, and it fired right up. So far a good machine. Good purchase.

It appears to be what I need!

I have not used this product yet. It was delivered in a very wet box, but when opened it seemed to be OK. In all honesty I haven't been able to assemble, and start the unit. As it sets, it is highly encouraging. My house was torn up during the Rio Grande Valley 80 mph storm on 4/28, and we are entering hurricane season which is why I made the purchase.

A life changing gift

After going through tropical storm Helene in Western North Carolina and being without power for 2 weeks we were given the generator. Powering it up and having electricity again was life changing. It has performed perfectly and without a glitch. I would recommend it to anyone. Get one before you need it and be prepared. You won’t regret it. A great generator and highly recommend it.

Wow what an upgrade! You will love this machine!

I purchased this generator to replace a 22 year old generac. While the generac worked well for many years, it slowly, as expected, started to produce less and less amperage, and then just died. Being used to a crazy loud generator for years, starting and running this Westinghouse machine was such a pleasant surprise! Amazing how much quieter it is than the generac! Runs smooth as can be, ever under max load condition. I purchased a Westinghouse gas pressure washer last year, been loving that, so it was a natural choice to get this unit.

Easy to use at a great price

First generator and not disappointed. Basically ready to go out of the box with easy instructions. After installing transfer switch in my house, hooked up the generator and started it up without any issues. Powered 90% of my house. Now I am ready for the winter!!

Easy Operation

I bought this for back up power for projected storm power outages…haven’t had a generator for 30 plus years, this will meet my needs as I am too old to tolerate extended outages..it’s easy to operate and has multiple power ports. It’s duel fuel and comes with propane connections, an oil fill tube and spark plug wrench. I will have to purchase the necessary power cords. It has wheels and a drag handle..

Great Features

We bought this to power the house. Living in the woods we do lose power and need to work from home and keep the fridge and freezer running. This generator was easy to use and quiet enough to run without all the noise. With the wheels we are able to move around without a second person. We are buying another for a family member.

So far, so good!

Easy to follow directions and simple initial set-up. Started right up and ran flawlessly for half hour. I had only added a little bit of gasoline to the tank and so engine quit when fuel was consumed. Directions advise running for 1-hour before hooking up any devices. I'll add more fuel and run longer today.

Started right away and is surprisingly quiet

The generator instruction manual was very well written and easy to follow. The funnel provided for adding the the oil made this task a breeze and no mess! The generator started on the 2nd pull and the data center made it easy to verify that the generator was producing the correct voltage before I attached it to my power transfer switch. Ran it unloaded for one hour per the instructions and then transferred load to it. Was pleasantly surprised with the relatively low noise level while running loaded.
