i like the features and led display

Just got mine in 6/28/21 the directions state to use the whole bottle of oil but it actually only would hold 3/4 of it so pour slow and check often so that you do not over fill, pull start rally easy and the remote is great the features and led display is great cant wait to try it out this weekend for its 1st camping trip.

Well built and great value.

Just picked up our brand new generator for home emergency use and camping. Dual fuel, cant beat that option. Unit appears well built. Manual and instructions are well prepared and put together (from my engineering perspective) Will get the unit a test run this coming weekend. Will share updated review notes and fine tune rating.

seems like a good unit

Have not used it yet. It started easy and runs well. Waiting for the electrician to tie it into the house panel. Seems well built, quiet, good quality. Smaller and quieter than expected. Only issue was the instructions say to add the entire bottle of oil that came with it. However mine already had a small amount of oil in it (pretesting?) so it overflowed and caused a mess. I feel good about this purchase so far.

Versatile, feature rich and dual-fuel is great!

This generator is very quiet and the information panel is incredibly helpful. The dual fuel option offers versatility and makes it easy to always have fuel on hand. The oil change compartment could be a bit bigger, but this is a minor issue. The push-to-start feature makes it easy to start and it started up the very first time. This is an excellent generator at a great price.

Remote Pushbutton Start is Great

I own two of these units. The remote start is super handy. I also have mine rigged up with a SwitchBot remote control switch. This lets me "push the button" from anywhere in the world connected to the internet. Very handy since the generator is part of my backup power for my off-grid system.

Glad to have dual fuel capability

After our neighborhood suffered a snow/icestorm last month & lost power for nearly 3 days, we had to move to a hotel to keep our elderly 89 year old grandfather & 4 year old kid warm. We are so glad this is now ready for our next outage. I especially like the propane feature, so we don't have to burn gasoline & hopefully require less maintenance.

Quiet

This generator is as quiet as my smaller 2200 inverter generator. Started right up with auto start or remote. The fuel gauge and remaining run time meter did not work properly on first start with less than gallon of fuel. When I filled it to half tank the guages worked fine.

Great Features for the Price

Purchased this for our travel trailer when boondocking, and as a home backup inverter generator. It is quite for its size, it's RV ready with a 30-amp TT-30R outlet, gives me the option to run on gas or propane, and the remote start function is great. I really like that it comes prewired with a trickle charger to keep the battery topped off during off usage periods. The included tool set is enough for minor maintenance such as oil and spark plug changes. The three features that sold me most was one, it will run on propane so that I don't have to hauling around gas cans while boondocking. Two, the rated watts on propane are, 3,330 Running and 4,050 Peak, which is more than plenty to run our Coleman Mach 3 13,500 btu AC (3,500 startup watts, 1,075 running watts), with plenty of power left over for other electrical needs. Third, the remote start feature. Let's face it, the older you get, the less you want to head out into the cold or rain to start a generator. Others have complained about the 30 amp outlet being installed upside down, and the electric choke control wire not being connected, but I had neither of these issues. Hopefully Westinghouse has listened to their customers and fixed both assembly issues. The only thing I might change is that it ships with a 33-inch propane hose and I feel that a 48-64 inch hose would have been better, as it would provide more options for propane tank placement. All in all, I would recommend this unit

Super Quiet and easy to Use

I took this unit out of the box, added the supplied oil, connected the supplied battery, hook up propane flipped the power switch on pushed the start button and it fired right up and was super quiet. My wife and I carried on a conversation using our normal voice tone standing right next to the generator. Super happy with this unit. Have used during a power outage to keep the electric space heater and refrigerator to keep my 90 year mother-in-law warm and feed

So Quiet/So Powerful

I just got this inverter snd I can already tell I made the right choice. Super easy to crank whether you use the electric start with the remote or pull the cord. Is powerful enough to run my 30 amp travel trailer with everything on, even the A/C. Even on propane! It does all this and barely makes a sound. In eco mode it is quieter than a dishwasher. Amazing product!
