I bought this on 8/26/2021, took about 3 weeks to arrive but well worth the wait. It came with everything needed to start it up except the fuel. I started it up today and will allow it to break in so I do not want to put too much of a load on it but will vary the load up to 4000 Watts for the first couple hours. I expected it to be much louder than it actually is, thank you for everyone that reviewed it and said it was very loud. I was pleasantly surprised that I could barely hear in inside the house. I have only ran it for about 30 minutes so far and time will tell but I'm super excited to have it.

Initial review is this is a beast. If your looking for a roll into your truck and go, this is not the one. It's heavy and huge! With that said, ran it for the initial run in period with my 30ft travel trailer as the load, AC on and everything else electric I could turn on and it didn't even blink. Startup of this generator was as easy as checking oil, adding gas and pressing the start button. I haven't seen the problems others have whined about. If I do ill update at a later time. Follow the instructions, which are easy to follow, and you are good to go. The only thing I did find noticeable is it is a tad on the louder site, but it is a V twin engine and again high in watts and amps so to be expected. When the power goes out to the house, don't particularly care as it's outside.

I had to wait a long time to find one of these in stock, but eventually received one a week ago. The (large) box was placed in my garage by the delivery company. Assembly was easy sitting on it's wooden pallet. Getting it off the pallet is a different proposition. Be sure that you appreciate how heavy 600lbs really is. You need something capable of lifting that. At the limit, four reasonably strong men could probably take a corner each and lift it while someone pulled the pallet out from beneath it. I used the front loader on my tractor with the bucket removed. The weight is the only negative so far, but I knew that when I bought it. On the topic of weight, I would be very reluctant to try to move this down any sort of hill/slope by hand. I initially put just over a gallon of gas in the tank. It wasn't enough. Given the size of the tank, I wasn't surprised. Added 5 gallons more, and it started with no problem. Is it noisy? Well, any generator that runs at 3600 RPM is going to be noisy, but I have a 6kw generator that I have been using to power essential items, such as freezer, water pump, family room lights, microwave, kettle etc. This is, subjectively, no noisier. It is obviously a different sound, twin cylinder vs single, large cooling fan etc. But placed in the same location where I used the old generator, with the doors closed, it is practically inaudible, as was it's predecessor. Adding a second socket to power the rest of the circuits I was able to power the entire house and run different appliances, water heater, etc. I also tried out the AC, which fired up ok. I don't dare switch it into heat-pump mode though, it has twin 20kw heat strips, and my thermostat is a little too liberal with their use, and there is no way to disable them. One comment on using the less expensive 50A plastic covered cables. I tried them out in 65°F weather, and even at that temperature, they are very stiff. Mine also have right angled plugs rather than straight which makes plugging them into the generator difficult unless you do it right. The wheel gets in the way if you try to plug in directly. The trick is to lay the cable behind the wheel and plug in the front/leftmost first, then lay the next on top of that and plug in the second. It's easy this way (see the attached photo). Alternatively, pay a lot more for rubber covered cables and/or find cables with straight plugs rather than right angled. It's also worth noting that the plastic covered cables become MUCH more flexible when they are warm, so you might consider storing them indoors rather than next to the generator.

I bought this a two month ago and am so happy that I did...

Online ad said Natural Gas Hose included. Westinghouse would not honor ad

I just bought this item. It seems everything is working properly.

This generator has a lot of versatility. Will be very useful running my home in a power outage.

Looks like a quality machine. I haven't used yet, but it looks to be a high quality generator.

This generator is perfect for our 1600 Sq ft home and 12x24 tiny home.
