My son bought two of these after much research. He uses them in tandem to power an arch-welder and all of his power tools in his 20 ft long trailer workshop; and he is quite satisfied. For me, I own a Lance camper and travel for a living, and sometimes I am away for months at a time. I needed a portable generator that would power everything in the camper, including my ham radio equipment, my laptop, and, especially, the air conditioning; though the air conditioning pretty much maxes it out, so I probably won't be able to run the ham radio at full power while running the air conditioning on high. This generator fills the bill. It is much quieter and lighter (about ten pounds lighter) than the old Kawasaki 1400, which couldn't handle the air conditioning, anyway. Three cheers for Westinghouse!

I live in an area where power can go out at any time. We both feel better knowing we have access to our generator for emergencies. This lightweight and powerful enough to get us through and quiet enough so it is not a problem. A good product for the price and it suits our need.

I bought it last week after the power went out along the Colorado front range. It worked flawlessly and thankfully saved the ice cream!! It was a little louder than I expected but no louder than my next door neighbor's. I recommend using a regular funnel and tipping the unit a bit to avoid a spill. The included funnel with many ribs dripped when removing it. The included oil was just the right amount. I didn't need to check the level many times while filling the first time. If you overfill, it's easy to dump some oil out😃

Just followed the manual to get it going. Started on first pull. I'm still in the break in period. But I was able to charge up my Ecoflow Delta 2 in a few hours - I set the charge rate to max out on the Ecoflow to 800 watts so I was below the 50% maximum load on the generator as suggested in the manual. I've got a couple of break in hours to go. But I've got plenty of devices I want to test during the break-in period. I'm going to put it on one the small Harbor Frieght dollies so I can wheel it out of the garage easier to run it once a month or so. This unit is lighter than most, but it's still on the heavy side for me to cart around all the time.

Added oil & gas, started right up after a couple pulls. Digital display tracks runtime - very helpful for maintenance. Looking forward to use during power outages & camping. Much quieter and more portable than my old generator, USB ports are a nice touch also. One person can move it around easily.

I'm glad I don't need it right away. I put in gas. Put oil in up to the H on the dipstick.put about a 1/2 gallon of gas in. Turned it to Choke. Pulled 5 or 6 times...nothing. Hit the reset button. Pulled 4 or 5 more times...nothing. Operated the choke-run off switch and saw that it was adjusting the fuel. I opened the drain fuel line and watched it fill the tube. I called customer service who recommended I take it apart to make sure all connections are secure. There is one connector with a black and red wire that is hanging out there but I dont see anything to plug it into. I put it back to together, only lost 2 screws, and no change. I need help before a storm comes.

We live in hurricane country, so I wanted a lightweight generator that would be powerful enough to run my fridge and portable AC for when we lose electricity for two weeks. This generator fit the bill. It's so light, my wife can lift it with no problem. Yet, so flexible, it can power my appliances, or just our cellphones.

I bought this generator to provide backup power to my house in case of an outage. I had an electrician install the necessary outside connections and an interlock kit on my electrical panel. I am running my generator on propane and to my surprise it started on the first pull. It is very quiet and I let it run for about a half hour as I experimented with running different circuits in my house. I am all set for hurricane season now!!

I purchased this generator about a month ago as a back up. It was broken in according to specifications. I have use it 3 ( three) times. It. Runs for about 40 minutes, shuts off then will run 30 seconds and shut down again. Error messages: oil and overload lights come on. I have a small heater plugged in, set on low.

I purchased this in order to be able to install and paint fences, and have used this to power a paint sprayer and an air compressor that I use to shoot fence nails and/or staples when building fences. This generator provides plenty of power for these small applications and runs an entire workday on a singles tank of gas. Not only that, this generator is quiet enough that you can talk over it without shouting. It starts easily, runs smoothly, and still kept working even after I accidentally doused it in fence paint. I highly recommend this model.
