Won't stay running

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.

Easy to start, but won't stay running.

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.

Great product, quick to start!

I purchased this product a few weeks ago, and since then, I've found multiple uses, such as providing power while camping in remote areas. It was quick to start, unlike other products. I'm very pleased with its functions, and it was easy to set up and use.

Great product

We liked the first one so much we had to buy another one. We use it for our camper and it works great.

Hurricane or ice storm?

I bought this after Hurricane Helene ravaged nearby cities, but haven't needed it yet. This weekend it's supposed to be extremely cold with winter precipitation. I'm thankful to have this generator just in case!

Happy with Westinghouse products.

I just bought this yesterday and have not used it yet. However, I am very happy with other Westinghouse products that I have bought such as a power washer.

Too soon for a review.

Bought it as a store display. It didnt come with a bottle of oil and the manual doesn't say the oil capacity. An easy Google search for the answer but could have been mentioned in the manual.
