An emergency is not when you should be setting up a generator and hoping it will work. Set it up now and test run it every few months.

I would at least fire it up and test run it on propane. If it's going to be sitting a long time I wouldn't put gasoline in it.

You guys are all killing me with these generator deals the last couple of days.... Looks like it's time to just make it happen before they get hard to find and $$$

edit: no brainer, getting it. final decision made by a Ng conversion kit specific to this model for about 130 on fleabay making this like only the best option for a portable generator imo.

Solid generator. Good to have and not need it than the other way around 😉
Installed a plug outside my house with a switch on my electric panel and I'm good.

Is there any harm in storing generators unopened for long periods of time? I'd like to buy this, but won't use it for a while.

Mind that total harmonic distortion on this model is 23% or less, whereas inverter generators are 5% or less.

The Westinghouse WGen12000 on the same page listed for $1671 and it has less than 5% harmonic distortion. Similarly can be retrofitted for propane/natural gas with a conversion kit if anyone is looking for a larger wattage generator

I would think not since they come empty (oil/gas etc). But it's got a 3 year warranty so anything less than that I think would be fine.

You are likely fine, but if there was a manufacturing defect, missing part, etc you'd learn the hard way lol..

I have the 10kw version, change oil once a year and start monthly, maybe 2 hours of effort a year combined honestly.

If you're considering this, it might be prudent to read the one star Amazon reviews. Oh, and also try to find any information about the "Westinghouse" (Westpro = China) engine...or parts availability. Caveat Emptor

Yes, a Honda or other major brand generator costs significantly more...but in the long run will prove a value.

I have this and converted it to tri-fuel to run off my home's natural gas. Works really well, although NG doesn't produce as much power as gasoline.

Which conversion kit did you use, was thinking about doing that as well. Thanks.
