Tested well

I have tested on propane and it picked up the load well. remote start is nicely implemented. You push the button once and it cranks till it starts even enough if the LPG line needs to purge. the monitor display doesn't work but I expect to get that solved with the company's warranty people. Will go in 5th. wheel. Engine had quite a bit of metal after ~1 hour running with a 20 amp load. After the oil change the oil looked pretty good. There is no filter on these type engines, I would recommend one of the magnetic oil level dip sticks to pick up any magnetic bits in the oil.

Quiet Compared to the one we returned!

We just received the IGEN Westinghouse generator and started it. It is much quieter than the one we had purchased at first. Also, this one will be good for technology equipment. The enclosed case is nice and the unit is more compact. We like the handle and wheels for moving it around. Have not actually used it yet.

Good features

I just bought this and have ran it for the break in time. Idle fluctuated at first using gas but leveled out. Propane ran very well. Not sure how accurate eco mode is. It says it is suppose to run a minimum rpm to save fuel but there was very little difference in sound.

Gas leaked all over

Removed from packaging, filled with gas and oil.( Doesn't take full Qt. Of oil). Gas started leaking all over my garage floor. Got it outside, pulled the side cover and tapped on the carburetor. Needle was stuck, maybe from shipping? Let it set for the day, and dry out. Started right up, runs great, and runs my whole r.v. Runs quiet and smooth, have not tried propane yet.

Great Product

Really happy with this generator. It's super quiet, comes with tool kit, oil funnel, everything but the fuel. It starts right up and the remote works well for start and stop when you're not right beside the unit. I really like the propane as a backup.

Just purchased this awesome generator

Right out of the box, I was impressed. Instructions are simple to follow and it comes with everything need, besides fuel. The telescopes handle make it easy to move around. It is quite, which is a definite plus. The remote fob is a nice touch too. I have not ran gas through it yet, as I do not want fuel sitting in it and go bad from sitting up too long. It does weight almost 100lbs and I was aware of this before I bought it. This generator is well designed and packed with great features. Zero buyers remorse.

Great product

The generator worked very well for our 35-foot fifth wheel trailer. It was much quieter than our old one and very efficient. The only complaint is that the battery for the electric start is not sufficient to last through the night. After we hooked up a larger battery, the electric start/remote worked every morning, which was sure better than going outside in 25-degree weather. We did find it started better with gas than propane when it was cold. All in all, we are very happy with this purchase.

Can’t find High Elevation kit

Bought this generator and was looking forward to all of it features but reading the manual they indicate you need a high elevation kit above 5k. It calls for two part numbers that are impossible to find. Contacted Westinghouse 3’times and no response!

Worked Well for 3 Days

Bought this in July 2021 and didn't need to use it until now (February 2023). It worked great for the first three days. It was quiet and efficient and handled the light loads I used it for with ease. On the 4th day, the overall sound output of the generator increased significantly and the 20 Amp outlets were unable to handle any load (shows 120 to 124 volts with no load but drops to 55-60) volts with even light loads applied (less than 500 watts).

Easy starting

I wanted to try the pull start after putting oil and gas in it. To my surprise it started on the first pull and idled perfectly. After connecting the battery, the key fob and push button start also worked flawlessly. I'm still in the break in period but am excited to see how well this handles my camper. As we plan on boondocking this year. I read a lot of the reviews where most were very positive with a few negative simple quirks. I am pleased to say that right out of the box I have had zero issues. Not really sure why but I want another one!
