I just picked Generator up; I haven't had a chance to filled her up but if it runs as good as my neighbors does then I will be happy with it. Should handle all my needs in the future with this crazy weather.

I have just bought this Generator, so far I have only test run it. but everything seems do be just fine. My brother bought the same model 3 years ago and says he was glad he did. So far I am happy with what I have seen. with the exception of the drain plug placement, the oil will run all over the frame. suggestion, maybe a 90* with a shut off aimed toward the hole that you have in the frame. thank you.

Printed Manuals and quality information

Would Recommend

Bought for a family camping trip to use with my 5th Wheel. Worked just as advertised and didnt have any problems with AC units. I also appreciated the printed out instructions, manuals, and parts catalog.

Solid well built generator

Easy to unpack with good instructions. Came with oil and spout which was easy to use and did not make a mess putting the oil in. All the parts were with the machine and setup was easy. Started easy and ran well- have not used it enough to comment on how it will power the things we need in a power outage. Seems well made and easy to move around. We were without power for a few days before we bought this and my wife is excited we have a backup generator now.

After finding my homes power needs in case of a prolonged power outage `I found the Westinghouse 5000 Watt inverter generator fit my needs to a tee. After recieving and un-packing my generator today I was extremely happy with the quality of build and the materials used in building.The features are easy to access and to...

Not From Lowes

Would Not Recommend

When I placed the order the estimated arrival date was 8/15/26, a Saturday. Being without power in Michigan because my generator broke down I ordered for the earliest possible delivery. Turns out, the generator ships from Georgia, something Lowe's must be aware of, and it will not arrive until the 18th, if it arrives on the new estimated time. Today, the 16th it still sits in a FedEx facility in GA.

like the features so far

Would Recommend

I just bought it today, so my review so far is that it is easy to setup so far. Oil and gas where easy to fill up, just making so it not over filled and now I'm off to the store to get some gas not enough.
