Fantastic overall design & engineering

I have not been running the generator long but so far so good. Where I’m most impressed so far is the great design and engineering. The control panel is packed with all the details you need and the many handles and wheels make it so simple to maneuver. I look forward to returning for more insight into the long-term performance as I get more hours logged, but very happy so far!

So much quieter than my old generator

I year ago I bought a conventional open generator, not realizing just how loud they are. It’s so loud I really can’t use it in my neighborhood without annoying everyone around. This Westinghouse inverter is so much quieter that it shouldn’t be an issue. The generator seems to be well made and has useful features like USB outlets and a running time meter. I plan to use it for emergency power to run refrigerators and a portable air conditioner since we regularly lose power in our area. I have great confidence that this generator is more than up to the task.

Great Product!

I just bought this generator and have tried it out just to make sure it works. A neighbor of mine has one just like it that I have used during power outages and I was so pleased with it that I decided to get one for myself. It's easy to use - has two outlets and works on gas or propate - and it's not extremely heavy so that I (a female) can move it around fairly easily.

Impressive unit with some tight spaces

My unit shipped very clean, it was easy to setup. I did need to reseat the battery and it's strap holding it in and to be fair the oil area is tight and a little hard to maneuver but the procedures were simple. The unit started right up on propane. I don't yet know if it will have any issues but so far so good.

Oil leaking bad

Bought on Nov 2021, never use till last month when Beryl went through, lost power, for a day, the generator started fine, quiet, ran for about 7 hours and shut down itself because of low oil level, oil was leaking all over my ground , wait couple hours for cool down, filled the oil back up, ran for 5 , 6 hours later, it leaked oil to empty and shut down again…..I’ve been tried to contact Westinghouse to see if they can do anything about that, I know it’s been 3 years, but still , it’s brand new…

Great Generator

I bought the same model generator six month ago. It was recalled. I returned it per the instructions. A replacement was received within one week! Great service. I like everything about this generator. It does everything it is advertised to do and MORE!! Suggestion for the next version: An oil change is required after the break-in. This should be an easy process but it is a giant PAIN!! The problem is that the oil drain plug is very hard to remove but not impossible. Here is the problem, once that drain plug is removed, it is very, very difficult to thread it back into the drain hole. One cannot get a straight angle on the drain plug to line it up with the threads in the drain hole. It will slip out of your hand and get lost down in the outside (blue) casing. A SIMPLE FIX: The casing access panel should be enlarged so one can get a straight angle on the drain plug to thread it back into the drain hole. PROOF OF THIS PROBLEM: Get the design team to have five engineers remove and replace the drain plug in its present configuration. Better still, use five "administrative" employees to perform this test. It will become evident that a redesign of the access panel is necessary and a simple solution!!

Quite Power

I am a volunteer for the forest service and a co-worker had a generator like this one. It does everything I need when my solar can’t stay up with the demand we need. Setup was simple and it’s very quiet. Love the dual fuel option. Let’s us run on LPG vapor or gasoline. It even runs the A/C unit. I can’t find any negatives on this generator. My co-worker has enjoyed his for over a year without any issues. Thanks Westinghouse

Highly recommended (at this time)

I nearly purchased a competing inverter generator but chose this unit because it has: a) Much higher power output for the same cost; b) dual fuel -- VERY useful!; and c) Positive reviews including from my brother-in-law. I've only tested it so far (for about 30 minutes on about 2000 watt load) but it worked flawlessly on both fuel types. If it continues to function this way in the future, I will be a VERY pleased owner. (I wish I was as satisfied with the review webpage: its requirements for no ad blocking and no popups caused me lost time to figure out how to disable these security measures. Not cool...)

Duel Fuel great benefit

I purchased this generator to power the air-conditioner in my trailer and my CPAP machine and it has no problem doing so. It started first time on Propane and then again first time on gas. The only issue we had was (just what some other reviews stated and thank goodness they did so we could easily find the problem) it ran really rough because the ground wire was not connected, so we had to remove the housing connect the wires, to resolve the issue.
