I bought this recently and I like it way better than my Generac 5500. It uses 40% less gas and is smaller, easier to store and cost 35% less to purchase. Plus it is electric start which at 72 years old is a very good thing. The old generator cranks over pretty slow in our cold Maine winters, so it'll be awesome to just hit the start button with this Westinghouse and flip 2 switches to put it on line with the house. It'll make switching to emergency power a lot easier and a lot cheaper. We've lost the power 3 times this summer and twice this December and the winter is just getting started. It'll pay for itself in just a few years just from the savings in gas!

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.

I am a senior, retired man in a rural area, in a total electric home. Power goes out at the worst times and I don't like cold and dark. I've not had to use it yet, but I face the winter with no worries, for a change. I don't know of a more reliable name to trust than Westinghouse

I purchased this unit after the last hurricane, we lost power for over 4 days. We had to replace most of the food in the freezer. This unit will be the perfect size for our home to run the necessary things in our house if we should need it again. It also tucks away nicely in my garage corner.

I purchased this generator to replace a 20-year-old generator that finally gave up the ghost during the days after Hurricane Helene. I was looking for something that was easier to set up and start as I'm also 20 years older. This unit is more compact, quiet, and simple to start with its electric starter, so easier on my muscles and joints.

Living through hurricanes without a generator can be difficult and stressful, if you live in areas where they can knock power out for weeks at a time, you need a generator. I picked this generator because of the name and price point, a Black Friday purchase. I can power the necessities in my house with this generator, we are now prepared for the weather come what may. It was easy to set up, too.

I just bought this a few days ago, put it together tonight and added the oil. Didn't have fuel so I couldn't run it to test her out. But from what I can tell its built really well. Will be installing a RV power inlet into my shed to power some lights and a few plug so I can heat it and work in it during the winter. Will also be having a transfer switch and power inlet on my home. I hope to run all my main appliances, furnace and sump pump with this litte beast. Its small but says she puts out 5300 volts so we'll see. I'd buy westinghouse again its made really well. Love the electric start feature.

I had a Generac large generator, which had been left in a garage for several years full of gas. I could not move this, so decided to go with something smaller that I could manage. We got the tires and feet on easily. After reading all the instructions, we used the electric start and it took a minute, but then it started right up. I had to go with an electric start as I have shoulder problems and cannot use a recoil. We let it run awhile before plugging anything in, a fan which was nearby. It did not come on at first and we realized we had not turned the Amps to 120. Once we did this we had cool air circling around us. This made me very happy. I had a generator I could handle and that worked and was easy to start. As I live in hurricane prone Florida, this was a great purchase. Something light enough I could handle and that I could easily start should I lose power. I did have to wait a week for it arrive from the store, but it was well worth it. I have a ramp from my lanai to the yard, so I can take it out if necessary to use. The price was excellent. I did go overboard on buying cables, etc. and wound up returning half of them. I would recommend this generator to anyone who needs a backup source of power. It is manageable and does not take up a lot of room.

We purchased this to replace a Generac 10,000 Watt unit that was just too big and heavy. This Westinghouse generator is compact, easy to maneuver, and has more than enough power. It was easy to assemble and started up on the first push of the starter button after we added oil and gas. Very happy with our purchase!

Only had it for a week , so far running good , I do like the toggle display , which prompts codes that are almost right on , like when oil is needed to be changed , gas cap is loose, only thing is I think the starter on the unit already froze , or a bad connection , I'm having to use the pull cord , which is not bad at all , an old lady can pull it to get it going , thumbs up for that ...!!!
