No effort to start this generator - one pull today was all it took. The first load was a box fan. The generator was in "Efficiency Mode" and stayed at idle speed when the fan was turned on. I then added an electric heater which had three power settings - 500 watts; 1,000 watts and 1,500 watts. Still in Efficiency Mode the generator had no problem running the fan and heater. With each increase in the power setting of the heater the generator would get louder - but had no problem running at 1,500 watts. I ran it for about 20 minutes and at most it used a few of ounces of fuel. Looks it will handle my light portable power needs.

Going to use this with our Fifth wheel. It started and ran for 5 seconds. then died. Started and ran for 5 more seconds and died. Did this several times. Now I have a call into Westinghouse service to see what the next step is. I guess I'll have to update this review after I get a unit that runs. Based on the reviews it looks like a good unit but we will have to see what happens next.

We bought this to power our teardrop camper, primarily for off-grid use. A couple hours per day keeps the camper battery charged to run the 12v refrigerator/freezer, and it also lets use make coffee or toast in the morning, or run the A/C in the evening from the generator. Does not consume much gas from our use so far.

We got this to make sure we could safely power our electronics and some essential items in the event of a prolonged outage. Setup is super simple, and they aren't kidding when they talk about how quiet it is. It's also super efficient, it ran for a half hour purely on what was in the carb bowl. Great product!

The unit arrived without any damage and after inspecting is a very good quality and assembly however after using the unit multiple times it has incurred rattle which I have not been able to find and is somewhat annoying. Number two on fuel economy mode the unit constantly surges find me when it is running at a higher RPM at a steady load the surging is reduced to almost nothing. Number three the unit on the front panel has a reset button and a 20 amp fuse however when the unit is overloaded it only trips to reset button and not the 20 amp breaker also there is nothing in the instructions that says anything about that breaker it does not even show 1. Now for the good things I am very happy with the build quality of the unit it is extremely user-friendly very quiet and gets great fuel economy I change the oil every 50 hours the unit does not smoke but once in awhile you have to add all within that 50 hour. For a camping generator I highly recommend this unit I use it at my cabin I started Friday evening and it runs non-stop until Sunday late afternoon I power of 5000 BTU air conditioner polite a coffee pot in the morning and my phone chargers Etc and the unit performs flawlessly and I only use 5 to 6 gallons of fuel

Received yesterday and unboxed today. All accessories and oil inside box. I serviced the oil and assembled the propane hose as I only want to run on propane. Everything was easy setup and it started after a few pulls with the choke on halfway. I ran it for 2 hours with variable loads and everything worked good. My only complaint is the packaging smells like burn plastic.

I’m a residential home builder and was looking for a small generator to mainly charge batteries on the days we are not using our larger generator so as to save on gas & wear &t tear. This one got great reviews. Runs my chargers in ECO mode. Very pleased with this purchase, I spent a little more to get better quality and power than other brands. Feel it was well worth it.

I purchased this generator to run the A/C on desert camping trips. I installed a Micro Air EasyStart 364 onto an older Coleman Mach 3 unit. The A/C starts easily on the ECO setting, and runs the A/C at around 1/2 load on the generator. For testing, once the A/C was running, I was able to start the microwave and it worked without complaint. I did not test the voltage reading for accuracy, but it corresponded with the meter inside the trailer, and even under load, the voltage stayed about 120-122 volts. Although this unit does make a bit more noise under load, it is definitely nowhere near a 3600rpm generator. Inside, with the A/C on, the generator was barely perceptible. With the A/C off, the engine idled down and is rather quiet when not under load. I am very pleased with this generator.

I have considered one of these for some time. A friend was too, and we decided to buy a pair and a parallel cable. We started them up today in parallel and load tested them. They both started on the first pull, and performed well!! Very pleased with this product so far.

Purchased to use with our travel trailer when camping off the grid. We have solar but wanted auxiliary power just in case. Coming from a traditional open frame generator for all the obvious reasons. Size and price were factors taken into account. Plenty of power for our needs, fuel efficient, ease of handling, and quiet!
