And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
This generator works really well but not for a whole house. The furnace, refrigerator, microwave and some light. Not the water pump or electric stove. I would definitely go with propane...Electric start is a must!
i have one just like it and we love it. i keep non ethanol gas in it, i start and run it once a month for 15 minuets under a load and we used it for 2 days here in the south this week. it has not ever let me down. like everything else, care maintenance is everything. take care of your tools and they will take care of you.
I had a similar machine with no side panels. At 10kw it did run our well ane boiler ect. However, in a storm at -20 with 4 small grandkids visiting, it froze up and blew the shaft seal out. I was told the pcv valve froze up and over pressured the crank case. I replaced it with a Predator 9500.it has side panels and a lot of thought was put into its cconstruction. I think just putting a box over the old one would have worked.
Great generator. Wish it had a 12VDC hi-amp output. It is HEAVY; it is NOT quiet. It does do the job though. No regrets.

I know for a FACT that the Westinghouse warranty blows big time. Never again.

DeleteIs this actually made in USA by Westinghouse?
