Perfect for my needs

Kept my refrigerator, freezer, and other needed appliances going for three days during power outage at my house. Will also use for camping as it is more quiet than any other I have heard. Powerful enough to keep entire camper going including A/C. Very easy start.

Early review

So far so good. Looks good, runs good. I bought this for home backup, but have only used it trying it out. I havent had a need to really use it yet. Only problem I had with it it when following the initial startup instructions, i emptied the oil bottle into the oil receptacle with the funnel. It overflowed and left a mess. I thought maybe i had a leak. Otherwise, runs fine and i like the handy gauges.

Impressive First Run...

We experienced a 20 hour power outtage 2 days before Christmas, so I vowed to take the plunge and make sure were were never without power again. We received the unit much sooner than expected. I prepared the unit and gave it a good 5 hour "Break-in", varying the load as required. Nice, quiet, smooth running engine. It performed flawlessly as it did its job. Now 'm almost hoping for a power outtage.

So far so good!

Ran the generator for the first time today and am optimistic. Easy to prepare for first use (~1 hour) and started right up! Eager to see how it functions on propane -- should make it easier to use for my periodic camping trips (didn't want to deal with gas sitting in there for long periods).

Nice product runs quiet

Would not start out of the Box. This is a closed frame unit. Had to disassemble to Plug in a wire for the automatic choke. This would be an easy fix at the factory .So that the customer would not have to do this. It is running good now. Would have rated higher if not for the choke problem

Great Home Backup, RV, Camping Dual Fuel Generator

The Texas Winter Storm of 2021 was an eye opener for my family. With an infant at home, not having a backup to grid power in these times was a risk I couldn't take any longer. This purchase has given me complete piece of mind knowing I have a backup emergency power source for my family. The dual fuel option is great since gas shelf life is so short. Inverter model is safe for all electronics, etc. All you need!

lots of nice features.

Thought it would be great for my rv application with one exception. The remote start when using propane requires the fuel to be turned off at the tank when the generator is not in use. This requires you to go to the generator when ever it is started or stopped.

So Far... Perfect

I originally purchased another brand and returned it due to price and lack of features. This generator is a well engineered product with only one issue that I ran into. The auto choke did not work initially, but was resolved using the posted bulletin.

It was just what I was looking for.

I was a little worried when package arrived the box was ripped open on the side, bottom had no tape & top tape had come lose, only thing keeping it together was one nylon band the other must have broken off. Luckily generator was fine & looked great. I checked it out, read manual & got it ready for operation, didn't gas or start it I got it for power-outages & didn't want to put gas in just to run it & have to drain tank & carb again to store it. I'm counting on Westinghouse quality name & quality control for it to be ready when I need it but I might use it before then.

Awesome Inverter/generator

Bought this to power my 5th wheel RV while dry camping. Have slow start capacitors on both 15k A/C units. After starting each separate, runs both with no problems. Very quite for a 4500. Ran gasoline thru it only once, have used nothing but propane since. Have over 400 hours with no issues.
