50 amp socket would not accept plug until the plug was disassembled and hammered in one blade at a time (then reassembled). Then, on the 6th start, the starter fails to engage the flywheel resulting in much grinding noise and no engine start.

I haven't used it to to power the house yet. I will update running my 2.5-ton and 3.5-ton ac in the coming days. This unit is large. It is not hard to move around with the long handles and wheels over flat ground.

I purchased this generator a couple of months ago and just had to use it last week. Power was off for 16 hours and it worked great. I highly recommend this generator.

I was very pleased with PED ease of ordering. This generator is a beast. It has a lot of power and can run most of your house if not all of it, depending on your house of course. Easy start and easy to move around considering the weight.

It was very easy to assemble and started right with gas. I did buy a conversion kit for natural gas it started right up again. With 1/2 line but it does need a 3/4 inch line from the house.

Arrived in perfect condition. Started on the second attempt first time I started it, then it starts immediately. Can power up the entire 1500sqf house.

We got the generator just in time when hurricane Beryl arrived. I put a easy start on my ac which causes less amps. The generator is carrying lights, fans,ac, tv, etc. The generator was easy to set up and running.love it👍

All seems well. I ran it for 3+ hours on a 5 gal. propane bottle running the ac on my motor home to start the break in. 2 ac units and you could just barely detect a load. Time will tell.

After much research I settled on this generator. Enough wattage to run my whole house on natural gas, plus I have the options for propane and gasoline also. The low => 5%Thd was a must. the generator it replaces had 12+%, which would trip my battery backups. I have not run it yet as they are installing my natural gas line to the area of the generator tomorrow. I do not plan to put any gas in this generator unless i have to for lack NG/LPG.

So, today was perfect weather outside. The power goes out unexpectedly. We ran the generator for a full 2 hours on gas until it was empty and power was back on. This generator powers our whole house washer, dryer. AC (4ton), TV, and lights. It did not blink with the load it carried. It is a truly a beast. After a lot of research, we decided on this one to have true back up generator. We had a certified electrician install a 50 amp inlet to the main breaker box. It is worth the peace of of mind to have it done correctly. Then we purchased our cord from Acme Tools. We recommend going with straight blade in the for the generator as it is easy to plug in and pull out. We even bought a customized cover for it. What a great product and the Westinghouse brand is second to none.
