  • Great generator from an old trusted brand!
Style: 6600 Watts - Gas Only - Remote Start
This is a very solid and well made generator. Noise level isn't crazy for an open frame. The remote start is extremely convenient. Fuel lasts quite a while under peak running conditions so it's very fuel efficient. When we were first looking at generators we were between this one and the dual fuel, and honestly this one is just far more convenient than the dual fuel. Considering we don't really have any reason to keep propane. We really love it and can't wait to put it to use during hurricane season. ... show more

  • Just the right size and price to meet our needs!
Style: 6600 Watts - Gas Only - Remote Start
The 6600 Peak watts generator was packaged well and easy to assemble. The push-Button start gets the machine operating quickly. The 5300 Running watts should easily power our outdoor freezer, the lights, and a small A/C if a power outage occurs. We live in an area that gets tropical storms, and last year we had no power for 8 days in 90 degree weather. ... show more

Used during last hurricane after power outage for 3 days. Kept window a/c running, refrigerator, small deep freeze and coffee station and small appliances for cooking. What a God send!

This generator is awesome! Very easy to put together and runs so smooth. I just had to put on the 2 wheels. It comes with a wireless remote to start the generator as well!

  • Good but item to be noted
Style: 6600 Watts - Gas Only - Remote Start
I purchased this generator after a 6 day winter power outage so I wouldn't have to experience that again. I didn't need to use it for almost a year and a half after purchase. I started it every couple of months to make sure it was working fine, but about two weeks before I had to actually use it, it wouldn't start. I charged it and it did start, but it didn't hold the charge so when it was finally time to use it, my neighbor had to plug in the charger from his generator to get it going. I ran it for 19 hours over a couple of days. I was sure it was well charged but when I checked it again a couple of weeks later, it wouldn't start. I charged it and repeated the check and it wouldn't start or charge. The biggest issue with this is that the generator won't start at all without the battery charged. The electric and pull start don't work because the battery makes the fuel move through the generator. Didn't know that when I bought it. And, when I contacted Westinghouse because of the 3 year warranty, I found out that the battery is only expected to last a year, so I got more life out of it, even only using it once. A replacement directly from them is available but I was also told I could get one from an auto parts store. It's a lithium ion battery, so the auto store did not have it and I had to go to a battery specialty store becauseit isn't a common generator battery. I did get a replacement one there for double the price of theirs, and with a 3 year warranty. The manager told me to unplug the easy connect to the battery when not in use, which will help with it not being drained. Also, because it gets cold, I've decided to keep the battery inside to help as well. I'll check the charge monthly so I know it is ready when I need it. I have to say that I would have liked to know that having the electric start, although a nice feature, would mean I couldn't start it manually with any battery issues, I may have chosen differently. Just so you're aware. It works well to connect to my whole house outlet and run everything I want. It runs better with the new battery too. Even better than the original battery. Now you know. And, I don't thinks its as loud as my neighbor's. ... show more

  • Ease of use
Style: 6600 Watts - Gas Only - Remote Start
I am in the prep. stage but very excited about the possibilities after reviews I have read. I've been in construction most of my life using generators much of the time. I'm retired now and downsizing my life. This should meet my needs for mobile use as well as home emergency power very well.
