Another Westinghouse generator.DWL
Would RecommendIt arrived completely secure and assembly and set up was easy. Make sure you read the quick start guide as well as the owners manual setup, they give different steps for the oil addition and oil fill access cover, the manual is correct. I'll try the generator tomorrow. I love my other 7000w generator, thus I bought another Westinghouse.

Wish I could give -10
Would Not RecommendWorst generator ever! Bought one and it ran one day and broke down. Took to the repair center and they had the generator for 2 months and finally stated they could not repair it. Westinghouse had me ship that one back and sent another. Again, the first time we went to run it it ran for about a half hour and broke down. Unfortunately we were on a camping trip with our 2 dogs so we had to pay for a campground so we could run the air. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GENERATOR!!!!! LOWES SHOULD BE ASHAMED...
Remote start is great
Would RecommendI purchased this generator because of the light weight and for the remote start.

Perfect generator
Would RecommendThank God for the wheels! It’s very heavy but so easy to move. Quick and easy set up. Love the push button start!

It works fantastic when it works. I've had for less than two years and what seems to be the inverter has already gone bad. It is super quiet and lighter weight than most. Very nice machine, again, when it is working.

This generator worked great with a trailer with 15,000 BTU ac unit, 12VDC system, lights and receptacles. I read one review mentioning difficulty with the 15,0000 BTU AC, so I bought a soft starter kit gor the ac unit. No issues running the AC with the soft starter. This generator is decent with noise.

Good Piece of Equipment

Easy to use!!!
Would RecommendWe bought this at an auction because we have frequent power outages where we live. It was new still in factory package. Opened the box everything was there. It was packaged well. It's easy to use and sooooooook much quieter then the old generator we have. It is small and compact, no bigger then an end table. It will fit almost anywhere. Has a decent run time. I believe we are going to be very very very happy with this one!!!

had it for a week then didn't run
Would Not RecommendHad the generator for a week then it would not start. Been at the repair shop now for over a month. Do not purchase this product

I’m really happy with everything about this generator. For the amount of power it delivers, it’s surprisingly lightweight and easy to move thanks to the built‑in handles—one for rolling and two for carrying. The attention to detail shows, with thoughtful extras like the battery charger, included tools, and everything needed to get it running right out of the box. It has the correct connection for my 30A RV plug, and the dust covers are a great added touch. I also love the remote start and the cl...

Great price, even better features.
Would RecommendPurchased the generator and immediately performed the break in procedure. The 12 Volt battery was dead in the box so the electronic choke was a bit weird, but once it charged up the generator operated flawlessly.

Better for i-tech electronic equipment
Would RecommendI bought this generator last month and it meets my need for an inverter-generator to support circuit boards in hi-tech electronic appliances and equipment. Much getter than an ordinary generator.

It is too loud.
Would Not RecommendThey lied about the noise,they say if is as low as 52 dBA but the lowest I got was 62 just idling not to mention with a load.
Hi, thank you for letting us know about this. We are sorry to hear your unit is performing louder than it is supposed to. I have passed your feedback...

Perfect size
Would RecommendGreat size to run all the necessary things in your home in a power outage

Best Generator Ever
Would RecommendI bought this generator after Hurricane Helene hit and after sitting in the building for over a year now it was brought out and gas was put in it and it started up with no problems. The easy push start key fob makes it even easier to start. The noise level was quieter then most generators I'm use to hearing. It is very fuel efficiency and can last over 20 hrs. I used this generator when the power goes out at my house. I am well pleased this product.
