Everything is over machined, and with a combination of cheap materials, it means maintenance isn't really possible (you can't remove screws). They are also unreliable. I did all of the start-up prep when I first purchased the generator, but the first time I needed it for a real outage it was busted. Not a good generator.

This generator was purchased because of power failure due to a big storm. I needed something that would be strong enough to power my whole house but not destroy my savings account. This machine more than delivers on all fronts. It has been referred to the "Mercedes" of generators by friends and family. The remote start/stop feature is an added luxury that most won't use but is fun anyway. When I unboxed all I had to do was install the wheels (simple setup) add the included oil then filled with super unleaded. Battery was charged enough to push button start. It turned over on half of the first crank. Ran like a charm. Next step is wiring it to my panel. Bring on the next outage!

I just bought this on 3/26/19, it came really quick on 29th. Assembly was pretty straight forward and it took only about 15min to get it ready to run. I touched the remote start button and within couple of seconds it started (love that feature!) and I like the extra charger for the battery, when not in use, to keep it charged up. After running it off and on for about 10min. it ran perfect, I just wish that it was little bit quieter, but I'm ok with it and I wish the fuel valve was little bit bigger and made from better material. Time will tell how trouble free are all the electronic gadgets but for now it's great.

I recently purchased this generator to help provide power in various situations, primarily in case of a power outage at my home. The power output of this unit is suitable for many of my main appliances and will anything I need in the event of an emergency. It's sturdy, but not too heavy and is relatively easy to move around considering it's around 200 lbs. The noise level is acceptable, with windows and doors closed it's just a steady hum in the background. I honestly hope I never need to use it much, but I have some solid peace of mind with this unit.

Easy assembly took less than 5 minutes, unit started right up with no issues, quality is very good even the wheels have real roller bearings, this is the first night of use after a major storm it's replacing an old 3500 watt unit that just didn't have enough power to run the house, the unit has been running for past 2 hours with no issues, comes with a meter to watch volts, hertz and hour meter, and yes it even came with the battery, this unit is very simple to operate no messing with choke, simple push the start button on the unit or use the key fob remote, also the key fob remote has great distance

I purchased this for my 65 year old widowed mother. Her last generator was only a pull start and she has had some shoulder problems lately. With the electric start I now no longer have to worry about her not being able to start her generator in an emergency ( l live 90 minutes away). I had her start the generator for the first time and she did so with no problems! We have not had to use it yet (no emergencies) and so therefore I am only giving it 4 stars. Relatively quiet for such a powerful generator. Remote start/shut off too but I'm not sure when she'll use it. Maybe just to shut it down. We'll see! Thanks Westinghouse.

I have yet to use it for an extended time but so far the instructions and assembly has been very easy.

Such a great back up - runs a lot of appliances and/or the furnace. Easy set up. Handle and wheels make it easy to store.

I just got it, did the set up, put gas in it and oil fired right up and off we go, can't tell you much more about it. Seems like it will do the job

Very easy Assembly and Operations. Very well-prepared User Manual. Included first quart of engine oil.
