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.

Short and sweet! I did A LOT of research and you should too. Reviews indicated units arrived with broken spark plugs, bought a new one before my unit arrived. When it did arrive, yep spark plug was broken. Reviews also said to use a magnetic oil filler plug and break unit in properly. I did and glad I did. Lot of garbage in the first oil change at 1 hour. Now for the good, reviews suggested putting upper cylinder oil in cylinder without spark plug and pulling it slowing to lubricate the cylinder prior to starting. I did this with 2 tablespoons of Lucas oil, installed new plug and the dang thing started first pull. Smoked due to the oil but cleared up in minutes and off we go. Runs quiet and YAHOO, mine came with an hour meter. Wish I had known that before I installed the hour meter. It says nothing about it in the owners manual but the last item listed under the digital display is LIFE TIME RUN HOURS!. Time will tell but I will update if there is a need.

I purchased this As I've heard nothing but good things about Westinghouse generators My neighbor has one and he's been very happy with it Period Typically in the fall or spring And summer we have weather that causes Us to have power outages in our neighborhood And I'm tired of having to run chords And power from my neighbor So I purchased my own In preparation for the exsterme of 2026

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😃

I bought this generator to replace another brand that crapped out on me before our snowbird trip. I set it up at our first campground in Texas, in case we needed it before the cold weather hit. The setup was very easy, and it started on the 2nd pull. This is my 2nd Westinghouse generator. I am very happy with their products.

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'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.

Was pretty happy with this generator out of the box. One very light pull and the generator started right up. However, the first time we went to use it, we began having issues. The generator won't stay running. I've tested the generator with an 1800 watt hair dryer, and then unit will run for a couple minutes. However, if I switch the hair dryer off for a few seconds, then turn it back on, the generator backfires and quits running. It then takes several hard pulls to get it running again. Usually I have to let it sit for a few minutes before trying to start it again. Something is not right with this.

I bought this generator brand new. I took it out of the box the night before an ice storm to prepare it for operation. I filled the gas tank. When I woke up in the morning the gas had all drained out from a problem of poor manufacturing at the assembly. There should be better quality control. Hopefully they will make this right and fix the problem at no cost to me.

I bought this a couple years ago and its perfor our little camper. Its quiet and runs a long time on a tank of gas
