Great features

I bought this for my business and we needed it for running a freezer during an event. It arrived just 2 days before the event, but it was so easy to operate that we were all set. Having the dual fuel option - Propane gas and Gasoline is awesome! And it starts with just the push of a button, which is super easy!

First Generator

As my first (maybe only?) generator, I wanted to plan for it to take care of every need I might have. When the school bus is remodeled, it will be my home. Being mobile, not knowing where I'll be, if noise restrictions would be an issue, or what fuel options I'll have, I wanted to be prepared for any contingency, able to send energy to as many appliances as necessary. So far I've run a handful of tools to include angle grinders and a 120V welder off of it, and have zero issues.

Probably best Generator on the market.

Purchased on mid February of 2021 and did so on the advice of my very dependable and knowledgeable brother-in-law. Unit is very heavy (100 lbs), but it is the quietest unit I've ever heard. Very tough and soundly made, and should last for years with basic maintenance. Unit does have wheels, which is an absolute necessity. Have always trusted Westinghouse, and will do so on this one as well.

Just got it - works great on propane, figuring out

Just opened the box and followed the directions for adding oil, etc. Added gas and started it. It started right up, no problems, but was idling up and down like it was low on gas. Switched over to propane and it ran great. I added more gas thinking maybe it was low and tried it again. It still idled up and down. When I turned eco mode on it still did it, just at a lower RPM. However, when under load, it runs just fine. Need to get this figured out then I'm sure it will be great.

Original purchase generator had some problems although … I was very happy with the product overall. Contacted customer service and they determined the unit would be replaced . I returned the original unit and received a replacement unit in a very timely fashion. Could not be happier !! Thank you

Don't get me wrong , I really like this generator with all of it's features its hard to beat but the known issues with the automatic choke!!! Pretty easy fix but you shouldn't have to fix brand new generator right out of the box! fix your Q.C. issues

Everything that I could've hoped for.

After a lot of research over more than a year I settled on this generator. I have been very happy with the purchase so far. It runs smoothly and quietly. It powers more than I expected and adjusts quickly when my RV air conditioner kicks on. I would recommend this generator to anyone.

excellent generator

I've only used it one time so far, but performed excellent. I will say the manual is incorrect saying to add the entire bottle of oil, however had i read the quick start guide, it tells you to add the oil until its full. I guess ill blame overflowing the oil on myself for not reading everything first!! FYI, the entire bottle of oil will overfill the generator!!! After cleaning up the oil mess, I connected the propane and it fired up first try with the remote. I let it run for a few minutes, shut it down, and restarted, again first try. I then hooked up my RV and started turning things on. I had a 15000 btu air conditioner, residential refrigerator, two fans, one air purifier, and the inverter for 12 volt lighting all going with no problem. Decided to kick on the microwave just to see what it would do. It did run it, but maxed it out, so i turned it off. I am super impressed with this generator and all the features, and am hoping it has a long service life.

Excellent product

I bought this generator because I am in a zone in California where our power company shuts off our power when it gets windy and dry during a Santa Ana wind event. I work at The Home Depot and most of our generators were sold out in the store by the time our first wind event started. I'm glad I wasn't impulsive and just bought any old generator, even though my power had been cut off twice in a week. I started researching and I noticed the Westinghouse generators had excellent reviews, better than the rest as a whole. What I wanted was something quite, electric and remote start, was able to power the tv, computer, the fridge, the toaster oven, microwave ,the water pump for the well, washer, dryer , a hot plate, and lights. Of course you can't run everything at once but I can run the fridge and the microwave and 3 bright 5000 lumen led lights at once. Just have to be careful what your turning on. It is very quite, not like rest of the generators in the neighborhood. I can barely hear it in the house. Very efficient too! Has a power saving switch where it runs at idle until you put a load on it so it saves fuel. I run it on propane because it's cheaper, cleaner and stores a long time unlike gas. This unit is for you if you like it quite and are not concerned with only running more than 2 major appliances at once, don't want to pull start an engine, save fuel and actually move it by yourself with relative ease with a telescopic handle.
