Thanks for posting the video Korey. I bought this exact same generator last year. We`ve had to use ours a few times since last summer when we lost power in a few storms. I can`t say enough good things about ours. It runs most of our house, including the freezer in the garage. We run ours on propane because i don`t want to deal with gas and cleaning it out for storage when we`re not using it. I`ll be changing the oil in ours over the weekend so that its ready to go when we need it again. All i can say is, money well spent. I did all the electrical gen hook up`s to the main panel my self. I keep our generator in the garage, exhaust gets vented to the outside. I have a 15ft 50A quick connect cable that plugs right into the gen inlet box, and a breaker lockout on the mains. Hit that remote start, she`s runnin beautiful. After all the reviews i read, this was the right generator for us.
@KoreyB032 жыл бұрын
That’s awesome man! I definitely would love to be able to plumb it all from the inside of the garage, but I need the space more often than not and I’m moving them around fairly regularly haha. Eventually I’ll make a small shed outside to keep it in, safe from the elements and locked up. The generator is absolutely a powerhouse and is the perfect portable whole home generator in my opinion as well. If I had a propane hookup I’d probably run it off propane in order to keep the carbs from getting gummed up, but I’ll just keep running it every couple weeks to try and combat that. Thanks for the comment man!

3 oil changes could definitely be considered overly cautious. I started this from when I bought my Predator generator. I looked up a break in cycle online and found this to benefit my generator the most. My mower had a break In cycle in the manual also that had me change the oil after an initial run. all of the brand new motors Ive changed the oil in have had some type of metal flake in the oil that was clearly visible.

They should have 4 wheels.
@KoreyB032 ай бұрын
2 Pneumatic wheels would be just fine. That’s just my opinion tho.

This Westinghouse generator didn't Start in the Winter of 1-3-24. I have tried 3 different times to Prepare for an outage. 👎👎 It's so COMPLICATED TO START in the Winter

You’ve tried 3 of them and all 3 wouldn’t start? That’s weird. Theres gotta be something going on because even the initial one I received that was dropped somewhere along the line hard enough to bend the frame and sever wires started for me. Sucks you’re having issues.

Thank you for your Response Now I just bought a Champion inverter generator Tri-Fuel 9,000 watts. It Starts so fast in my START UP. Now I'm not Concerned when Power Outage comes 👍

Does this run your hot water? I have a tankless water heater and the same generator but it bogs down and shuts off if I turn the heater on

@@KoreyB03 just a few phones charging and a light on. I turned the A/c off but I left the breaker on I wonder if I turned the breakers off to everything other than the water heater if it would work, I just figured it took way more electricity to heat the water thru it, I don’t have a normal water tank

@@andrewturner2338 yea that’s why I was wondering. Maybe the ac kicked on or something. Id think if that thing runs your ac it should run the hot water heater. I’m no professional tho. My 6500 ran the hot water heater. I did turn everything else off other than a couple kitchen plugs tho.

so change oil 3 times?
@KoreyB03 Жыл бұрын
Yessir. After the 2nd run I changed it and put oil in it a 3rd time and ran it. Didn’t change it after that one because it looked good. So, I guess I technically only changes it twice, but put oil in it 3 times. Haha. Hopefully it helps. 🍻🤘🏻

That sucks. Contact Amazon. Miy initial generator was messed up pretty bad also. Sent pics of the box and generator and they sent me a brand new one free. Give it a shot.

Champion Generator is much EASIER TO START...... just bought my Second one inverter generator 9,000 watts. No more Westinghouse Generator for me. The Starting Up is the pain and Complicated process.👎👎

I’ve never owned a champion, but this generator has push button start and also a key fob. Doesn’t get much easier than that. I’ve heard good things about champion tho. Glad u like it. 🍻
