Very Quiet!

I have had this generator for two weeks and completed the burn in period. Fit and finish of the generator is very nice, like the blue color. Duel fuel is a nice option. What I wanted most was electric start, about 4000 watts, inverter and quiet operation.

Outstanding product

initial setup was a breeze, with all of the necessary parts supplied - even a funnel for the oil fill. Propane start was instantaneous, giving steady power right away. Gas power took about 10 seconds to stabilize and then steady power. Remote start, push button start, even the pull string start worked right away (well, after 4 pulls). Great product and super quiet.

Exactly as Described and Expected!

Ready to go pretty much out of package. Only issue is there is an oil door and the instructions say to take off engine cover to get to oil. Directions need to be fixed on the quick start fuse as well as owners manual. Otherwise we are looking forward to a quality inverter for our RV.

Super Quiet

Just unpacked my new inverter/generator. They advertise it as being quiet….all expectations have been met. Connected the battery, added oils and fired it up. The remote start feature is great. No more having to leave the camper to turn on or off…which I look forward to when it’s chilly, rainy or dark. Can’t wait to use it on my next trip!

Great powerplant

This is a great generator, even if Westinghouse likes to call it "inverter' in its good included manual. All other previous comments I agree with, So 4 Stars why ? Well here is the INFO needed. The 30 amp output is NOT A 3 PRONG TWIST LOCK, as nearly all 'generators' come with, but is a TT 30r outlet, 30 amp travel trailer. Yeah it's in the manual. However all past generators, for me, have had a 3 prong twist lock (L5 30p) outlet. SO you need and adaptor TT 30r to L5 30p twist lock. Now all your cords will plug right in for power. This is also really meant to be set out all alone with a long card. As I have yet to figure how to add a tail pipe to the exhaust system from my motorhome's extended bumper mounting. It is nearly 200 pounds lighter then the 5000watt Onan it replaces. : ) And may I ask Who the Heel has the employee try to hide the Serial number to where you need lay down or have helper tip the thing near on end ? But yes I certainly recommend this Inverter : )

Perfect for Us

We purchased this generator for when the electric goes out. It was an easy pull for the first start. Since then we have used the remote start with no problems. It switches easily between full types and runs quietly. We are highly satisfied and are pleased with our purchase.

Remote start and electric choke are terrific

I use this gen for off grid battery charging. The remote start and electric choke means I can remotely press 1 button to startup the gen. For non-line of sight, I also use a SwitchBot which lets me physically press the Start button from anywhere in the world. Again, the electric choke is the critical feature. Lots of units have a pushbutton electric starter, but you still have to operate the manual choke. And of course, this inverter is nice and quiet. Very nice for our location out in the forest.

Amazingly quiet and reliable

I’ve owned this inverter for over 2 years now and it has worked flawlessly. I have only used it with propane to keep it as clean as possible, and I do not regret my purchase one bit. It starts with just a push of a button each and every time. Absolutely love this product and highly recommend it to friends and family. This is worth every penny.

NICE

I bought this for my cross country camping trip, primarily for my dogs as many parks don't allow them :( Fortunately, I didn't need it but once. It sure came in handy for making coffee at the NP's though. LOVE that it uses propane as would have difficulty reaching to fill fas.

Easy direction to follow

I bought this a month and so happy I did to prepare for winter storm. Also the reasons I bought it since I have a toddler and baby, I couldn't waste not having heater or other electrical devices off for a couple of days. Safety first, I have learned from last year winter storm in Texas.
