This Generator is in the Excellent Range! We have had multiple disasters in the Houston Texas area that had long power outages. This Westinghouse generator has been a lifesaver and has done its job with flying colors! The 2021 winter storm that froze Texas lowered my house temperature to 27°F, inside! After getting the generator started up (one pull!), we could run the lights, a space heater and a couple oil-filled heaters with no problem. During this most recent Hurricane Beryl (2024), we are still without electricity for over 48 hours and counting. It’s a sweltering 98° and 90% humidity outside, but I can run a 14000 BTU AC and the refrigerator and fans to keep my family comfortable. It also kept the fiber modem and router connected to our wifi connection. I would 100% recommend this generator. It starts on the first pull straight out of my storage shed (which was destroyed by the hurricane). It runs and runs strong. No regrets! Also, a full tank lasts me around 6 hours or more, it depends on how much load is being used. *Edit – We finally got power back on. My Westinghouse WGen3600V Generator ran 60 hours (2.5 days) straight without any issues at all! Easy work! 100% Recommend. *I purchased this generator in June of 2020 for $299.92. *When storing any gas-powered small engines, try not to store them with fuel (if you do, be sure to store them with a fuel stabilizer added to the gasoline). Before storing, run the engine and shut off the fuel valve until the engine stops. This will prevent the gas from gumming up the carburetor. Doing these things will help ensure that your engine will start when you need it!

I bought this generator because of the name Westinghouse. I saw several generators on the market, but what I was looking for, Westinghouse made it easy. I wanted a generator I could use with my newly purchased travel trailer. You don’t always have access to shore power. This will fill that void.

5 years of heavy use. Purchased July 2020. Has been the main power supply for off grid 800sq ft home in northern Michigan used year round. General maintenance oil changes and spark plugs. Still using original air filter that gets cleaned periodically part of general maintenance. Removed emissions canister result for 1 of the 5 or 6 no starts experienced over past 5 years. Replaced snapped recoil start 1x. Replaced spark plug boot 4x. Has been the most reliable, least fussy generator unit of the multiple units we have acquired. Decently fuel efficient for a fixed 3600rpm generator compared to others we have. Not inverter efficient but impressive for basic generator with running and peak wattage rated higher than most any competition in the same bracket/ballpark for a similar wattage sized unit. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unit this size. $309 including tax and over 5 years of summer/winter year round heavy use, I honestly have zero complaints zero maintenance issues and am genuinely impressed it still starts on 1st or 2nd pull every time. **I wish this unit had an hour gauge, it would shock me and anybody else to know the actual run hours on my unit.

I recently purchased the Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 4650 Peak Watt Portable Generator, and I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations. This portable generator has proven to be a reliable and efficient power source for various outdoor activities and emergencies.
Pros:
Impressive Power Output: With a peak wattage of 4650 watts, this generator has no trouble handling multiple devices simultaneously. It comfortably powered my RV appliances, power tools, and even kept the lights on during a recent power outage.
Easy Start-Up: The electric start feature makes firing up the generator a breeze. No more struggling with manual pull-starts; just turn the key, and the generator comes to life.
User-Friendly Design: The control panel is well-laid-out and easy to understand. It provides essential information such as voltage output, frequency, and run-time, helping me keep track of the generator’s performance.
Fuel Efficiency: I was pleasantly surprised by how long the generator could run on a single tank of gas. The automatic throttle adjustment helps optimize fuel consumption, reducing the need for constant refueling.
Quiet Operation: This generator is relatively quiet compared to others in its class. It’s not completely silent, but the noise level is definitely manageable, making it suitable for campsites and residential areas.
Solid Build Quality: The generator feels robust and well-built. It’s clear that attention was paid to the construction and materials, ensuring its durability even in demanding outdoor conditions.
Cons:
Slightly Heavy: While the generator is portable, it’s not the lightest option out there. However, the sturdy built-in wheels and foldable handle make moving it around less of a hassle.
Oil Fill Access: Accessing the oil fill port can be a bit awkward due to its placement. It might take some practice to get used to it, but it’s not a major drawback.
In conclusion, the Westinghouse 4650 Peak Watt Portable Generator is a fantastic investment for anyone in need of a reliable outdoor power source. It’s perfect for camping trips, tailgating events, or as a backup power solution for your home. Its robust performance, fuel efficiency, and user-friendly features make it a top choice in the portable generator market. Despite a few minor inconveniences, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend it to others looking for a dependable and versatile power generator.
