Initial Reaction is Positive

Would Recommend

I bought this several months ago but only set it up recently (anticipating a bad storm and possible power outage), only ran it for a few minutes to make sure it was ready to go. Set up was easy and it started right up. Appears to be a good product, well-made and rugged.

Very good generator

Would Recommend

Just bought this generator a few days ago and I’m really impressed! It was super easy to assemble and get started. It started right away on the first try and has been working perfectly for thje last few days. So far, I’m extremely happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it! (I have very bad experience with generators from other companies)

Haven't tested it yet

I just bought it. It will be hooked up next week. I hope it lives up to the Westinghouse reputation. My only criticism at this point is that it is way too heavy for an old lady to consider it 'portable.' But, if it gets me through the power outages, I'll be happy.

Two different units - both damaged

Would Not Recommend

We bought one of these in February, and took it home from Lowes (it was a 'ship to store), unboxed it, only to find the entire frame was bent! Luckily we found that within the 48 hour return time. The frame damage was significant enough I was worried the entire rotating assembly was at risk of not working or being damaged. Lowes took it back and ordered us another one. When that one arrived, we unboxed it and looked it over...seemed okay. Took it home and it sat for a few weeks because we ...
