versatile

purchased this power plant at the end of Oct. I have tested now for the past several months. At the beginning, when using with propane, the engine was running rough and the generator did not produced enough energy. When using gas, the engine runs wonderfully. After starting with gas and switching over to propane, the engine runs just fine. We'll continue testing and keeping an eye on it

Operation

Had this generator for about 25 days. Been on one camping trip. Had an issue when it arrived with minor cosmetic damage due to shipping. Had to manually adjust the choke because it was sputtering on initial start up and run. Had a little problem with being able to read the oil level due to the oil cap being a yellow color and oil being new and clean. But one the initial issues were addressed it ran great and powered my camper off grid for three days on one tank of gas and a half a propane tank.

Versatile Inverter!

I just bought this inverter for the hurricane season in Florida after reviewing several brands of inverters. This unit has all the features that one would need to power lights and a few appliances around the house. And its backed by the Westinghouse!

STARTS easy, quiet,

We purchased this unit to use for outdoor weddings where power is a long distance away or no power at all. We need to provide Music, wireless microphones, laptop computer and some times lighting in remote areas. This unit is quiet enough to put 100' away and no cause a noise problem.

Light Weight for Output. Fired up first try

Finally a Duel Fuel portable inverter generator that will run my entire camper 30A. Light enough to lift 1 person (Adult Male in decent shape). Pulled out of the box, connected battery, filled oil and hooked up a propane tank. Push start button and fired right up. Amazingly quieter than my old generator. Great job Westinghouse.

Great little generator- Super Quiet!

This generator is great and purrs like a kitten right out of the box. I use mainly propane and this one is super simple to get up and running on LPG. I had issues with comparable generators from other brands on LPG but so far, not a single hiccup with this one. Runs everything i need it to run ... Extremely happy with this one!

Generator for Home backup and RV boondocking

Received the generator, added oil, connected battery, read the start up instructions etc. I had already wired my home breaker panel with a separate 30 amp single pole breaker, UL interlock kit and 10/3 wiring to the an outside weatherproof box that houses my 30amp male plug head that I just pull out thru the box to a distance that is away from the house and plug into my generator at it's safe location to run. Turned of the main breaker off at the electrical panel and turned on my new 30 breaker and switched on the desired loads 1 at a time. Furnaces, refrigerators, small freezer, fireplace, assorted lights can all run at the same time as necessary. They just can't all start up at the same time. Worked flawlessly! Can't wait to try it boondocking with our RV.

Good Product

I prepped the generator as directed. It fired up first try with gasoline and the same with propane. The remote start works great. Have only had it one day, to early to give it a full review. I hooked our rv up with our surge protector. Only complaint so far is that when I tried running our 15k ac unit the voltage dropped low enough to cause our surge protector to disconnect power.

The One that Works Was Great!

I originally bought 2 of these generators, but one of them didn't work and had to be returned for a replacement. Better still was the somewhat belligerent woman I spoke with on the phone when I called. She seemed to be excited to pull a power play on correcting me. Not the person you'd expect when you call for Customer Support.

Easy Peasy

As a 73-year old single woman, I need reliable power for the outages that frequently occur here in the Pacific NW. I had a smaller gas-fueled H brand with recoil rope pull only, that failed to start enough times, even after servicing, that I wanted to upgrade to something more reliable. This 4500 dual fuel inverter generator has push-button electric or even remote start, was intuitive to assemble, and uses 20-lb propane bottles that I can purchase full, and trade-in at my neighborhood grocery store. And it's so much quieter! Now I'm ready for Mother Nature's moods!
