We found ourselves having to purchase a generator because our electricity provider struggles to keep their client serviced. So we bought this generator so that when we lose power, the generator can power up the entire house. We just got it today. It fired right up and we are having the House wired for it next week. Very excited. I have another Westinghouse portable generator that I have been extremely happy with. I highly recommend this company.

TENGO UN MES DE HABER COMPRADO ESTE GENERADOR , LO HE ESTADO USANDO REGULARMENTE EN MI TRABAJO Y HASTA EL MOMENTO , ME A DADO EXCELENTE FUNCIONAMIENTO, ES FACIL Y RAPIDO SU ENCENDIDO Y MUY PRACTICO SU DESPLAZAMIENTO A DONDE SEA QUE REQUIERA LLEVARLO.

Purchased portable unit to be used across two properties (one for more routine use and second for backup power when needed). Unit is easy to use, built robust, runs somewhat quieter than other brands, and mobility with built in handle & wheels. Happy overall.

Got this from Santa. Gorgeous looking machine. Started on the first try. Runs like a top, and performs beautifully. Can't wait to take it camping or to the family cabin. Hopefully I won't need it for a power outage, but I feel much better just knowing that I have a quality machine, just in case. .

just bought this before holidays,perfect size for basement storage and arrived without a scratch on it! very compact and has alot of features i didnt see on higher end models.Only used it a few times but i have no regrets even with the 3 year warranty

I bought this mainly for my camper. It has a very convenient outlet for campers so I do not have to use an adapter. I have only used it twice so far but I am very happy with this generator. It runs everything in the camper with no issues. I am also very impressed with how quiet it runs. I have used similar generators in the past but this is the quietest by far. Very happy with this purchase and I have already recommended it to friends.

Plan to use the 240 amp plug. Didn't work as I had expected when I purchased. The 120/240 switch chooses whether u want the 240 plug or the other plugs to get power. It does NOT *change* the wattage going to get locking plug. Now that i know this I'm good. I wish the screw to drain the fuel from the carburetor stuck out more so it was easier to get a hose or funnel under it before the fuel starts pouring out.

I bought this last month but only got to start it the first time yesterday when the transfer switch was installed. It started quickly using electric start. During the test, it powered everything that I connected the transfer switch to: lights, boiler, furnace, refrigerator and microwave. It flinched a little bit with the toaster oven. It's ready for emergencies. I'm happy with it.

A few thoughts upon receiving/opening the generator box: I feel like the oil fill cap should be metal, not plastic. It is at an odd angle and is too soft of a material -- the metal threads can destroy the plastic quickly. Also, it is a fairly lengthy break-in process, and I am guessing most people need the generator ASAP when they buy it. Otherwise, it seems to be a good purchase.

Got this over a year ago when Duke Power didn't say anything about rolling blackouts and the text said 11pm instead of AM, our generator had the pull cord assembly break, and it was 9 degrees outside and didn't have time to fix. The little note to de-rate by 3-5% per 1000 ft altitude appears a bit understated. I could only get about 40 amps out of it before it started wheezing. I'm at 2300ft.
