Came through in an emergency, works great

I bought this during a freak ice storm where we lost power for 11 days. This arrived on day 5 and got us through to the end. Everything works as it should. One complaint in the design--in order to change the oil, you have to unscrew a metal screw at the bottom of the oil tank. Problem is the frame is in the way and if you manage to get the screw out, you can't get it threaded straight to get it back in because of it. I had to get the frame off in order to do so, which was a nightmare. So I guess the next oil change will take more than a few hours since I won't be able to get the screw all the way out again, since it will take longer for the oil to drain. Terrible design flaw. Otherwise, generator works consistently and easily.

Westinghouse has been around a while for a reason

Westinghouse has been around a long time for a good reason. Quality product that is affordable. This is my second Westinghouse generator. I have the WH7000E that I use at my home in California and it has worked flawless for the past 5 years plus. This one will be the backup and my travel generator.

Remote Start

Bought this over a month ago and use it daily. We went away for a weekend and didn’t use it with us but when we came back the generator wouldn’t start. It required us to use another generator to charge the battery for it to start. (Battery drained with no use.) The remote start is convenient but you still have to charge the remote as it does die quickly. Guzzles a lot of gas and idles high. I don’t recommend this generator.

Hi Kaye, thank you for your purchase, we are happy to hear that you have gotten continuous use of the generator. Unfortunately, in order to use the remote start feature the battery must be somewhat charged and if the generator has not been on in a bit, then the battery will be drained. Since traditional generator are not smart in the sense that they will have a low idle, we recommend that you get an inverter generator that will be more fuel efficient, have the lowest noise, and have a lower idle than a traditional portable generator. Thank you for your feedback, we hope that you are able to get the product that fits your needs the best! Thank you, Zach - Westinghouse

Awesome peace of mind

I bought this during hurricane season 2021 right before hurricane Ida was expected hit our area. It came on time. Although we did not need it due to Ida changing course, it gave us a peace of mind knowing we would be comfortable if we did. During hurricane Laura and the ice storm we desperately need a generator. We did not want to go through that again so purchasing this one was a sigh of relief. Its easy to use and works great! Love it. Thank you

Neat electric start generator

Just assembled, added oil (challenging to fill), and gas. Appreciate screen filter on gas tank and secure fuel cap. Pressed electric start, fired up instantly, and ran flawlessly for 15 minutes. Didn’t put a load on it yet, but don’t expect a problem.

Generator

This generator worked very well to provide the power we needed. It was easy to start with the pull cord. [However, I am having issues with the electric start.] It is relatively quiet in its operation. An it is easy to transport with the wheels and handle.

Great features in a small and compact design

I just received this generator as a Christmas present to provide electricity during any local power outages. Assembly is minimal, quick and easy. Easy to get running - add oil/gas, turn fuel valve, choke and then pull and go. Easy to start and runs well. While it is heavy, it has wheels to allow it to be rolled around without having to lift the whole unit. Good buy given nice features, ease of use, and compact size.

What a beauty!

Just lost power due to storms in the area so I decided to purchase this model, the price was great, and the electric start was a huge plus, especially since I may need my wife to operate the generator when I'm not home. The assembly was super easy and I now have peace of mind knowing the next outage will be covered!

Good product

I bought this just over a week ago, had an issue with the oil dipstick that I can't seem to get resolved. I have talked to a person (after a long wait on hold) and sent e-mails, still have no resolution to this minor issue. This part must be the least expensive on the whole unit, yet I can't seem to get satisfaction!

Great features!

I bought this generator to replace my old generator because of an anticipated ice storm. We were fortunate and never lost power. During the test run, the generator fired up immediately and worked great. I have no doubt it will perform well when I need it.
