About Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment WGen Generator Cover
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
84% liked the sturdy construction, but 16% found it flimsy
I doubt the cover material will hold up to a single heavy rain.
The build quality is cheap and it is very thin. It looks nice if taken care of, otherwise forget it.
The cover's quality is really cheap.
78% liked the fuel efficiency, but 22% faced issues
I have experience with small engines but the generator did not start. I was not willing to pull it apart to find the problem, so I sent it back and was extremely disappointed.
73% found maintenance straightforward, but 27% faced complications
In July 2023, the start/stop switch stopped working and I had a hard time getting support. I contacted someone who diagnosed the issue and sent a new switch with instructions.
76% found it easy to transport, but 24% found it bulky
The cover is too baggy even with the tire kit attached and the drawstring tightened. I have to tuck it in to prevent it from draping all over the garage floor.
84% appreciated the high power output
I purchased a Westinghouse 6600 Watt Home Backup Portable Generator that works well during power outages in my 1500 sq ft house.
All appliances including central AC, window AC, two fridges, sump pump, dehumidifier, washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc. function normally and can be used.
I use the generator to recharge emergency power banks to avoid continuous running.
68% appreciated the long runtime, but 32% found it limited
I use the generator to recharge emergency power banks so that I don't have to run it continuously.
If the generator had started, I would have been satisfied with it. Unfortunately, I had to return it due to an issue with the carburetor.
82% found it easy to start up
I can easily start the generator with the electric switch and there is no carbon build up.
73% found it resistant to various weather conditions, but 27% experienced issues
I doubt that the product would last for a full year in the elements.
The cover does not protect against moisture, rain, or snow.
The covers are lightweight and easy to put on, but they suffer badly from UV degradation and weather damage. What's the point of making a cover that can't stand up to more than 2 years of weather?
The generator is not waterproof or water resistant.
