Long time coming!

I have been shopping around for a generator/inverter for years. I have particularly been interested in a duel fuel option. Hauling around propane cylinders instead of gas cans seems like a safer option. I am still going through the 5 hour/50% max power output, but am very pleased so far. The unit is very quiet as advertised and I am waiting to see what full output will sound like. With 3 starting options (push button, remote and pull cord) I am sure to be able to get the gen started when needed. Overall very pleased so far with my purchase and feeling more secure in the crazy weather Nebraska can dish out. Camping has a lot more options now too!

Exceptional inverter generator with many options.

I was looking for a generator for a long time, one that could back up my house and my small teardrop camper without surging the sensitive electrical components. This unit fits the bill perfectly and can be used for camping, home backup, and construction site use.

Initial Review

After initial inspection of the product found battery terminal broken. After following all instructions, cranked it up first time (by recoil). Wouldn’t start the second time (by recoil) rigged up the broken battery post and was able to get it started with electric start. Let it run on gas power with no load for 5 hours. (Should have battery secured separately in packaging) Haven’t put a load on it yet. Plan on doing so after break in.

Very Quiet & Compact

Just bought this generator today and overall it seems very quiet and a reasonable size. Pull out handle makes it easy to move around. Setup was simple. Only issue is that it does not have a gas shutoff so you cannot drain the carb dry while running and it only comes with 1 set of remote keys

UPON ARRIVAL

Upon arrival the generator arrived with a couple of accessories out of the bag. Additionally, many hand prints all over the unit, which led me to believe that the unit was assembled that way or it is a unit that was returned. Upon starting the unit, it tends to surge up and down. Wrote Westinghouse but have not heard from them as of yet.

Received with no issues

Had unit shipped to my house. No damage. Unboxed, filled with oil and hooked up to 20lb propane tank. Started with 3-4 pulls. Let run while pulling a load with an electric space heater for 1/2 hr. Quiet. A little heavy but nice collapsable handle to wheel around.

Good generator, just an inch from greatness

Bought this during the big Puget Sound outage of November. It only ran for a day before power came back, but I'm glad to have bought it. I love that it can use propane, so I don't have to deal with gas storage and carburetor cleanup over time, and it's very compact and relatively quiet. It is quite heavy though, but the wheels and carry handle help. However, for 5 starts it would have to be perfect, and this has some missed opportunities. Adding oil in the beginning was an absolute pain, the oil cap is buried at the bottom, and the funnel provided is minuscule. A cheaper 2000watt generator from a diff brand had a much longer and easier funnel. How hard would be to put the oil cap and dipstick somewhere at the top? And I found the remote start/stop pretty pointless - what I really need, is a remote control to turn the eco mode on/off, for when I need to start some big honkin' motor, like a portable AC/heatpump or dehumidifier. These will overload the generator in eco mode. And you do want to have it in eco mode most of the times, it's thristy :) Otherwise highly recommended. I was eyeing this for a long time, wish I had bought it during some previous shorter outages, instead of half way through a 5 days one. If you are like me, and still on the fence whether to buy one or not, you now know what to do...

very quite on propane

ran the item on propane and its flawless. Super quite machine and just a beast when it comes to power output. Love the digital readout and the electric start. Handles on the top make it easy for loading into the back of a pickup. Westinghouse really did a good job designing this unit

Perfect camping generator

We absolutely love our. A little louder then my father in laws honda but mine runs everything I need and more, my wife and I love the remote start. I don't have to put pants on in the middle of the night if I need to crank it up for anything. I love that I run off propane. A little more expensive then gas but it's less wear and tear and it's easy enough to keep a few tanks topped off and not worry about dumping gas trying to fill it up. Plus my wife can transfer propane tanks in her car without it smelling like a gas can for a week.

Very Quiet

Just get it set up. Put under small load and worked fine. Used propane so I don't have gas sitting in the carb and lines. Set up was easy. No issues like some other reviews. Generator had some oil in it so it wouldn't take the entire included bottle as directions say to add. Remote start worked great. Should work well if we have outages this winter.
