Highly Recommended

Would Recommend

Just purchased and haven’t had to use it yet. We live on the Gulf Coast and wanted to be prepared. We had several professionals (plumbers and electricians) recommend Westinghouse. Fingers crossed that we won’t need it, but we are ready when we do!

Powerful generator

Would Recommend

Took a few tries to get the generator to start on NG, so I started it first on propane then switched back to NG. It ran like it should. It powered my house as estimated.

Good generator, poor packaging

Would Recommend

Really like this generator. Pros - Love the remote start. - Super easy to set up. Cons - Not clear how much oil to put in (had to look up online). -Packaging was not adequate. Frame was damaged. Too much of a pain and not really worth taking it back. Could be overly rough handling at the store as well.

Arrived on schedule

Would Recommend

So far everything is as advertised. Ask me again in a year after it has been through all 4 seasons. I do wonder why so many generators for outdoor use and storage have electric starts and no pull start. Keeping a battery charged during a Northern winter requires special attention.

SIMPLE ASSEMBLY. REMOTE FEATURE IS IDEAL

Would Recommend

After simple assembly; tires, lift bar, and attaching the battery, it started right up. I recommend High Octane gas (93 or above). Ensure you read the instructions, step by step. Oil is provided. It is very heavy. However, the trailer arms make it so much easier to move. :-). My first Westinghouse generator. I am completing a whole home load test (1800 square feet) it should do fine. Remote starter is very convenient, and starts the generator from a good distance.
