I bought this over 6 months ago used once right away worked to power almost every thing in my house, I just used again after the hurricane to pump my cellar out at my rental house twice. It started up right away both times after not using it for 6 plus months.

With all the power outages in Southern California, it was time to get this for reliable backup of the entire home and appliances, for longer periods than a battery will provide and with the easy of instant refilling the tank - rather than a solar charge.

We have been wanting a generator for quite some time now- we live in an old house and old neighborhood and have lost power several times in the 7 years we have been here. This was affordable with all the features that we need when our power goes out!

Got this for house power if there's a storm that takes down power lines. Seems well-built, and easy to unbox and set up. Battery makes it easy to start. Has lots of flexibility on hookups, whether 110V standards plugs, plugin for 30A RV connection, or a 120/240V to hook into our house system through a lockout panel to provide power to all of our house appliances. Nice and compact, so easy to find a place to store it in the garage when not in use, but easy to pull out into the driveway when needed.

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.

Made this purchase during Florida Tax free week. We wanted an emergency generator in case of a rogue hurricane. We were pleasantly surprised with the build quality; very sturdy and well built. Very easy to set up and start. Runs very quiet compared to other brands I've used in the past. So far, we're very happy with this purchase.

Bought this after having yet another power outage that lasted multiple days. Have only just broke this unit in but it was a breeze to setup and get running. Provides plenty of power for a smaller until. For an open frame generator it is pretty quite. Was able to talk withy wife right next to the unit while it was running without having to raise my voice.

I needed a new generator for the occasional power outages in my rural locale. I bought this generator because of its good combination of compact size to power ratio and because of the electric start (with recoil backup) that would make my life easier.

So i bought this due to losing power iv used it nonestop and has giving me no problems the price was great in my opinion looked into company and saw they stand behind there product and i like that and they have ben around for a very long long time happy overall thanks westinghouse.

This is a well constructed generator. I was not really sure about it at first but once I took it out of the box I was well pleased. I like the option of using gas or propane it allows me to have more fuel and I don't have to keep a bunch of gasoline cans. Also it has a digital gauge to monitor voltage and hertz, and three option plugs(L14 -30R, TT-30R, 5-20R). Finally the ability to move it with the fold down handle and wheels make it easy for anyone to handle it.
