Perfect product for a power outage or camping

We borrowed this same generator because of a 3day power outage and it was the best generator ever! Our son also used his for a camping trip that made it so wonderful!! Thanks for the fast shipping of our new generator. We will never be without anymore!

Mostly good so far

Unit started well right out of the box using the electric start and recoil. Remote doesn't seem to be pairing to the generator even with multiple attempts. Checked batteries in fob and they are good. Missing the manuals and Quick Start guide upon opening box. Runs quietly but does trip easily on RV AC start up of second unit running on LP. Overall seems solid but to run both AC units we will probably need to parallel to get enough starting amps. Like the option of dual fuel.

fills my needs

I bought this for emergencies and RVing. Runs much longer onl ess fuel than my Onan 5000 and almostth e same power. pure sine wave is a bonus an the noise level sounds the same as the Champion inverter generator, and is much quieter than the ONAN. this ise ven quieterth an the onan 2500 installed in my Camper. Looking forward to years of service.

Opening the box and instructions

Bought this in June, ready for hurricane season. Opened the box in early August ahead of hurricane Debby. Very well put together. Excellent operational instructions and user manual. Everything was supplied (except fuels, obviously), even the tools to do routine maintenance. Pretty darned quiet, easy to start and operate.

Good Start

Anymore when you purchase new items it takes a good part of the day to get the item assembled and working correctly. I am so pleased how detailed the instructions, but to the point and how well it was packaged. In less than 30 minutes I had it checked out and started. The Westinghouse Generator is exactly what I was looking for in an emergency generator.

So far great (except for one problem)

I did a lot of research and decided to go with this model. So far it has been great. The design is clean and it is well made. The manual is really well done. I have been using it with a 5th wheel and have just over 20 hours on it. It always starts up smooth and is fairly quiet. My only complaint is the fuel gauge has not worked since I got it almost a month ago. The LED data center has read empty the whole time and the remaining run time always shows zero. I have refilled it once already. I will call customer support and can hopefully get it resolved.

Great generator easy to move, dual fuel is key

Really excited about this as we had a recent bad storm where gas was in short supply nice to have a second alternative that is quieter anyway. Also useful for tailgating or if I ever get into RV more. The only downside would say is that I was expecting that it was a bit quieter like a Honda 2200 that I've used in the past. At least that's what the reviews and dB ready to adjusted. It still is quite quiet compared to an open non-inverter generator. I used it with the propane, that would likely be the quietest setting. I do like that has the conservation mode for lower draw and longer use with fuel.

Good for both camping and home emergency use.

Had it for only a few days, but using it each day for RV. Starts easily, runs smoothly and quietly. Provides all the electricity I need on propane. Great start for this piece of equipment. Item was well packed with styrofoam, but cardboard box had several cuts in it. Inspected it at the store, no damage to generator seen.

Quiet and love that it runs on propane

I've been using the generator periodically for about 2 months to power an RV. I love that it's one of the quietest generators I've been around. It's easy to use. The remote is a great feature, being able to shut it off at night and start in the morning without having to go out in the cold. I chose this model because it was one of the larger ones I could find with the dual fuel capability, allowing it to run much longer on propane. It's high output capability gives me the ability to charge whatever power tools may be needed for a few people out at a remote work site. Aside from the run time with propane, I like not having to drain the tank if I'm transporting it.

Arrived with all parts and was up and running with

Comes with tools and oil for setup. It was up and running within 30 minutes of taking it out of the box. Very quiet running generator. Has a handle for pulling it and 2 handle on top to lift it. Is a little awkward and heavy putting in the bed of truck by yourself.
