Dual Fuel

I selected this generator because it had a pretty high capacity for an inverter style generator that is more efficient and quieter than the non inverter generators. I liked the fact that it is dual fuel and can be setup for a natural gas connection with a slight modification. I will eventually be setting up a transfer switch in my house to make an easier transition when using the generator. I have not used the generator yet, but will be ready when I need it.

Fuel Valve? Manual unclear

Set up was relatively easy except for incomplete info in manual re initial start up steps…in particular p16 “BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR”, step 3 “turn the fuel valve to the ON position. Where the heck is the Fuel Valve? Had to find some helpful youtube video to solve the mystery. Also the choke is not clearly located. Love the electric start. Really love the remote start, but the manual pull is a last resort for someone with bad shoulders.

Love my generator

I have hesitated getting a backup home generator only because the choices seemed too intimidating to make a final decision. I even considered a whole house generator, but after receiving a quote and weighing pros and cons, I decided on a portable generator. This model has so many amenities that made my choice a no brainer! Very happy such a user friendly option exists. I now have a backup power source in case of emergency and piece of mind that a quality generator will be ready if and when needed. Thank you Westinghouse.

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.

Reliable Winter Storm Hero!

Sure, I've used my Westinghouse inverter / generator to save the day when the church pancake breakfast needed more power to supply the electric griddles. But I was most grateful to have my reliable dual-fuel inverter during San Antonio's "snowmageddon" when we lost power for three days in February of 2021. The generator ran as-needed to keep us from loosing all the food in our fridge. Since it's an inverter, I knew I could rely on it to supply "clean" steady power to more sensitive electronics like my handheld amateur radio, which served as our backup communication since we didn't have cellular service at our house. The ability to run off propane meant I didn't have to worry about running gasoline dry for long-term storage but I still had gasoline in case the propane ran out. This full-featured inverter / generator helped make our 3-day blackout a breeze such that we were able to comfortably support not only our family with 5 small children, but also my wife's brother and his wife that stayed with us during the storm.

Came complete and easy set up.

Just got it in, took longer to get it out the box, than to set up and get running. Note: mine didn't quite whole all the oil that came with it, so start checking after if about halfway. Fired it runs good not loud at all even in my shop. Plugged in a few items blower, speaker and a shop fan, it never changed tunes. Can't wait to test it this weekend.

Runs great!

Bought this DF inverter recently. After performing the set up it runs great and quiet compared to others. Love the remote start and the energy savings mode! Also relatively light weight to take camping and can also connect two in parallel to power larger loads.

Great little generator!

Bought this as an addition to an open frame Westinghouse generator that I have as well. We wanted something that was a little quieter to use during power outages and this fits the bill! Haven't had a chance to use it in an actual outage yet, but it seems to run fine, and I believe it will do everything that I need it to. Happy so far!

So far so good

The generator arrived in excellent condition. No dents scratches or any other blemishes noticed. I followed the easy to read & understand instructions, then push the start button and it fired up immediately. Ran it for 45 minutes no problems. I am very happy with the fit and finish of the generator. So far so good.
