Very quiet and love the dual fuel option

We just received the unit and were pleased with how easy it was to hook up. We intend to use this as an emergency generator for our home. With recent power shutdowns by our utility company in California and the 30th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake, we felt it was time to get prepared. We will primarily use propane for the fuel source and were impressed with how easy it was to set up and run. It also was fairly quiet, even after hooking up some load to it. We haven't had the need to use it yet, but feel much better just knowing we have a way to provide power when we need it for critical items.

Excellent Generator

Only generator in its class, dual fuel and remote start! One some of the complains other have had, my plug was installed correctly and I did not have any issues with choke not working. Shipping was quick. Over all I am very happy, have about 40 hours on the unit so so far with no issues. I use propane only, the generator does lope a little when pulling low watts but I am starting to think it’s the propane tank because it does not always happen. Unit is also very quite and the power flow is very stable. I have a gauge in the camper and with old gen it use to bounce around with this one it holds steady. Time will tell for reliability.

Very mobile with great features

I brought generator right home and couldn’t wait to get it running. Just select your fuel and start it up. Runs nice and quiet. Plenty of AC power. Easy to move around with attached handle. Plus, you can’t beat the remote start/stop. Especially when it’s raining.

So far so good

After 3 PGE-mandated power outages in 6 weeks, I bought the generator for my home. It is more than enough power to keep the TV, fridge, a couple of lights, microwave, coffee pot, internet, etc., going during the day. It is quiet relative to other generators I hear in my neighborhood, and I liked the idea of propane as it is easy to access and requires less maintenance than gas. It was easy to set up. The LED readout does not seem to be tracking running hours -- displays "F00" which does not correlate to the manual.

Great Inverter

I bought this for camping and stand alone power for rv. This inverter powers everything and has not missed a beat. I have even used it to power lights and small apliances through dissconect in main hoise when power outages occur. Would definatly reccomend and would most definately purchase another Westinghouse genset again

NICE

Just un boxed . GOOD :Easy setup comes w/ f funnel & oil to put in clear instructions. Started ridght up by push button & remote . Ran well on Propane though it seemed to pulse when not under load .However it did that in Gas mode also . Ran for about 3 hrs so far . Not GOOD: battery compartment cover missing .Propane fuel line supplied w/ regulator seems to short placeing tank to close to Gen . Remote works well though limited signal distance which could be improved . Oil fill made for tiny hands dipstick for fill to far back & hard to reach . Overall seems to be good came with 3 yr warranty . HF preditor same model same price only had 1 yr . will see in the coming weeks how well it powers 5th wheel trailer A/C unit .

Great Features!

I just bought this unit to supplement a 3700W Harbor Freight Predator. Much better design, which includes dual fuel capacity. Followed the instructions: add fuel, oil and connect the battery. All very intuitive. Started right at the first time. Switched fuel to gas propane without any hesitation. Terrific unit.

Powerful and quiet

I bought this inverter to power my refrigerator and some lighting during power outages. The generator is super quiet, easy to operate and has more than enough power for what I initially wanted to run. I plan to add a few more circuits to my transfer switch given the generator’s capacity. Highly recommend.

Quiet & ease of ise

I bought a few days ago...broke it in yesterday...bought for our RV...started great, ran great, much quieter than my other generator, compact efficient & can parallel with other Westinghouse generators to increase output...panel tells you at a glance, what fuel level, demand & run time are...can switch over to propane before you run out of fuel without shutting of the generator...basically double your run time...

Just what I needed

Just bought this unit a couple months ago. Cannot comment on the reliability or durability yet. I had been looking for a portable generator for several months for my 5th wheel trailer and the features on this one were hard to match. First impressions were excellent and it started up immediately after setup. I have only run it on propane at this point and will soon test it with gasoline before heading out on a boondocking trip next month. It comes with everything needed to connect to a propane tank. My only complaint is that the length of the propane hose is a bit limiting and they do not have an option to purchase longer ones. I changed to a 12ft hose so I could reach the two on-board propane tanks on my trailer. I purchased a hose locally, but had to change out some fittings to get it to work. Overall, very happy with my choice so far and really like the dual-fuel feature and the remote start.
