Clean Fuel Power and Remote

This generator has the key features for using on a RV. Connecting to propane offers easy of access to fuel and clean fueling. No need to carry a gas can around, a secondary propane tank on my RV fuels this while the other runs my RV equipment. Propane tank exchanges are super easy to find. No more spilling gas. The other big plus is the remote feature. Being able to start and stop the generator from within the RV makes use super clutch. The remote allows me to conserve propane. The only reason I took off a star was because it would let me give it 4.5 stars; the initial unboxing revealed plastic fitment issues and small defects in finish, purely cosmetic.

Great product

I recently bought this and it works great. I enjoy the remote start and that it powers everything in my rib with no issues. The only problem I found is that in the manual it states to pour the whole quart of oil in which is definitely not the case. I used about 3/4 of it before it was topped off and end up making a mess and it was a pain to clean up.

Superb Features

Just purchased this generator. Out of the box I am quite impressed. Fired right off on propane. The remote starter works extremely well, tried it 40 feet away and behind obstacles, EXCELLENT. Bought it to use while remote camping at the lake. I'm hoping the unit will allow us some creature comforts of home, including A/C on those unbearably hot days (nights). I especially like the ability to run on propane. All indications are that this product is an excellent value. Great Job Westinghouse! Might eve

Looks good out of the box.

Arrived in good shape. Setup was easy, basically add oil and fuel and it’s ready to run. Started up easily on the first try running on propane. Have hooked it up to several different loads as I go through the breakin period. Have stopped and started several times. Electric start with remote is something you think you don’t need, but once you use it a couple of times it sure is a nice feature.

Everything I wanted and more!

I ordered this generator primarily for my RV. I needed quiet and enough power to run a 15K BTU AC unit. I wanted the dual fuel and remote start. This delivered all I wanted and more. Super easy to set up and it started right up. After running it for a little while, I connected my RV and was not disappointed. It ran the AC, water heater, TV and microwave all at once. I heard it ramp up as I was adding load, it it quickly settled at a very pleasant rpm and decibel level. I would not feel bad about running this unit at a campground if electricity was not available. I cant imagine how I could be more pleased with this generator. Maybe if Westinghouse figured out how to automate the gas valve on my propane tank so I could completely start it with the remote.

Complete Package

I did a ton of research before narrowing down my generator list to two. This one stood out as more powerful, quieter and loaded with more features, for a BETTER price! I did have to do some digging to find them in stock but it was well worth the effort to find. I have completed the 5 hours run-in and I am looking forward to many years of service.

I like the dashboard. Easy to read and use

Bought this about two weeks ago. Just got it. Took it out the box today and running it through the break in procedure with the break oil provided. It started right away. Ran it a little while on gas and decided to finish the break in on propane. Easy to hook up and switch fuel supply. Runs smoother on propane than gas. But that makes sense, I expected that. I am an old propane guy. Engines always run better on propane.

Fantastic Generator- Very Quiet!

I bought this generator as a backup for our home in the event we lose power (happens 2-3 times a year). This generator connects perfectly to our house via the RV plug and has plenty of power to run all our essentials (Fridge, lights, tvs, workstations, fans). Very quiet which was important for us being is a residential area.

Works Great!

We bought this a week ago and it works great! Love the remote start and that we can use propane or gas! The expandable handle makes it easy to move it around. There are 2 handles on the the top that make it easier to lift. Fairly quite as far as generators go.

Easy setup and very quiet

I bought this today, I set it up , wish I knew there was a handle!!! Lol. Would have been a lot easier moving it and once I used the Handel it was so easy to move around. I can’t believe how quiet it is . The Rv ready is a plus and the fob ! Amazing.
