The size generator I was looking and duel fuel

I got it out of the box, added the oil, hooked up the battery. The first few times I tried it didn't crank. I gave it about a hour and tried it again and if fired right up. We have a fifth wheel camper and it will be perfect dry camping for football weekends. I have also found some good info on youtube for maintenance.

Great startup!

I wanted a dual fuel inverter generator as it is so much quieter. I had initial issue keeping it going but only because I didn’t use the whole bottle of oil to get it filled. I love that it starts right up w a push of a button. I love how much quieter it is than my previous generator. I also love the digital display showing fuel and wattage.

Ron’s very quiet even with a load on it!

The generator seems professionally built and the fit and finishe is good except for the rear exhaust is off center from the exit hole a good bit and the propane attachment coming out of the front control panel needs to be 1/8 to 1/4 inch over to the right. I barely was able to get the hose fitting attached.

like them

my son purchased this for me and I am so excited and happy as I will no longer have to be worried when there is a power outage so easy to start !! Used to have one that had a pull rope, but couldn't use this any longer as I don't have the strength.

So far I am largely impressed, but things to note

I bought this generator after deliberating long and hard. It was a tough purchase because it is a lot of money for something just used in the event of a hurricane. That said, so far I am pretty impressed, but there are a couple of items that should be brought up. The generator is built quite nice. It is definitely VERY heavy, but I feel like there was some thought and effort on the product. I like the covers on each side and how they latch. I really like how the oil drain was connected to a hose, as well as the carb gas drain (the gas drain was particularly nice). I really like all of the information provided on the panel, including the fuel level which is really nice. Some of the things that were disappointing considering the positives: 1. There is an oil filter on this unit. It is in the exact same place as the DFc model however there is some sort of big cylinder directly in the way in front of it. I am not sure what this is, but the DFc doesn't seem to have it from the videos I have seen, so I assume it has to do with the Natural Gas part of the unit. It is a little bit of a pain to remove as it requires a 10mm wrench and has limited movement. On such a well thought out generator, this seems to be a rushed item and makes the access to the filter a bit inconvenient. 2. This generator wasn't cheap but came with quite a bit of stuff. The one thing that it didn't come with that I was disappointed about was a cover. This was a HUGE miss. I plan on storing this in my garage and I am going to have to buy my own cover now. 3. It would be nice if the dipstick was magnetic to help keep the engine oil as clean as possible 4. The eco mode barely changes the idle speed at all (it may not even change it at all). I don't know what this switch does at this point as I expected a serious reduction in RPMs to help save gas (I was testing this with no load at all). It seems to be a very good generator. I just finished my 5 hour break-in period and changed the oil. Despite the disappointments above, I am hoping that overall it will prove itself to be a great unit.

Great Generator- best features of them all!

Purchased this generator as a replacement for an open frame 4000 watt unit. Remote start and dual fuel provides awesome options and flexibility. For its capacity in watts, design and run time on gasoline.. you would be hard pressed to find a better unit. Especially for the price. Much, much quieter than my other unit. Very pleased!

Great Generator!

I ordered this after trying another brand and Westinghouse came through in a pinch. This generator is dual fuel and I want to only use propane so I tried that setup first. It started on the first try. We had a power outage the next weekend and it worked great.

Ease of setup

We lost power during Helene for over a week. I got this in case this happens again. I also bought a propane heater so this would be used for other things like electric blanket or toaster oven, chargers etc. I think it will be more than sufficient. The product was easy to use and besides the propane or gas did not require additional things for setup.

Well designed generator

I just recieved my generator and was impressed with the nice quality look and feel of the generator. It took a few try’s to get it started but after it started I was again impressed by the quiet running machine even when on high RPM. This generator offered all my requirements of DF , remote start , wheel kit and inverted. So far it’s exceeded my expectations.

Great features and well priced

I bought this to upgrade from my Honda EU2000i. The power output, dual fuel and electric start were all major pluses. We live at 8,000' so I installed the high altitude jet and regulator nozzle. There was a fair amount of disassembly/reassembly but it was straightforward. So far very pleased.
