   Exactly what I needed for when we have power outages during the winter and bad storms. I live in a wooded area so my power goes out frequently during the summer storms. I didn’t want anything massive. Just enough to do the job. So this is perfect. Easy to put together. (Just the wheels and stuff. Add oil and gas and you’re ready to go!

   I received this generator in the evening and the box was in tatters. The only thing holding the cardboard to the gen was a fiber strap around the box. The Generator was in fair condition despite the very poor shipping container. There is a small dent in the motor cover that does not affect operation. I let that slide. The powder coating on the frame and handles has spots that are not entirely coated and the metal shows through. Again this doesn’t affect operation. The assembly was straight forward and the wheels while cheap plastic are more that sufficient for moving the gen around. The oil dipstick and fill hole are awkwardly placed under the motor and very low to the ground. You might want to consider a ramp and table to work on this gen if you have back problems or limited mobility (squatting, getting on hands and knees, etc.}. Put something under the oil fill hole, catch pan, cardboard, something to catch the inevitable oil spill. The oil they send with the unit is .74 quarts which is what the generator says it holds. Unfortunately, you cannot just fill it, as it will have some oil in it from factory testing and this means that the oil will spill out if you just fill it up. (I am speaking from my experience, your mileage may vary.) Fortunately, I had laid thick large carboard sheet down before filling the oil. This prevented the mess I could have had. {I should have used a clean pan to catch the oil and put it back in the bottle.) The unit is heavy. Be aware of this and do not try to pick it up alone unless you are used to lifting heavy weights. Use the handle and wheels and the gen is easy to move. I have run the generator with a very light load for five hours to break the motor in, according to directions. The engine started after three pulls with the choke on and ran very well after the choke was turned off. I ran a meter on the load and found the voltage to be 121v under light load and 61hz. I suspect, under a running load, this will come down to more operational ranges. I will update once I have the electrical connections to my power panel installed and have tested the unit under various loads. NOTE- This Generator has a high harmonic distortion of less than or equal to 23% listed in the manual and on this site. You can research this. My finding was that it probably won’t matter for most things. Anything that has a power block is probably converting to DC power and so will not be a problem. If you are concerned or have a LOT of high value electronics, you may want to consider a more expensive inverter generator that produces “clean power”

   Generator seems great. Had an issue starting on propane but started on 3rd pull on gas. I did have gas leaking and noticed fuel line was pinch during assembly. I took off and cut it off and reconnected then it was fine.

   Looks good so far, assembly was easy. Will update after I get some use out of it. Some residual oil from testing is a comfort that it was indeed tested.

   Used it twice. Then it stopped. Called them. Extremely sweet. Probably too much. Received an email about 27 things that can be wrong. That’s it. Just ignoring my emails followed. No help, No will to help. If there’s an option to give less than one star the ZERO would be my choice. Maybe I’ll send you big English dictionary with CUSTOMER SERVICE highlighted.
   Update. 2 months into the warranty process. FU dear customer. We wasted your time and now it’s the time you call someone else. Cheeers..

   This generator does the job well, offering consistent power without fuss. It’s quieter than most, which makes a big difference in residential areas. The fuel efficiency is solid, and it runs for a good stretch before needing a refill. It’s easy to get up and running, and the build quality feels sturdy. Overall, it’s a reliable, no-nonsense choice for those who need portable power.

    It runs great, easy to operate, well designed. I only wish it had an optional electric start for ol’ farts like me that get tired sometime pulling the starter if I inadvertently flood it.

    Couldn’t get it to start more than once for only a few minutes and my only option was to bring it 30km away to get it fix. In a full trafic area all day every day.
    But no thanks to Westinghouse who would not refund I got tugapower.net to refund me.
    Thank you very much tugapower.net.
