Just got it

I just received this today, 03/06/2020, Got it out of the box, filled up the fluids, connected the battery and it started right up without a hitch. I let it run for a few minutes and hooked up a fan and a few other small electrical items. It seems stout and should be able to handle all of our camping/trailer needs as well as powering the essentials during power outages.

Surprisingly quiet

I got this for home use. It arrived in good shape, with everything in the box that was supposed to be there. I added oil and (as noted in the instructions) there was some left in it so it didn't quite take the whole bottle. It started on the second try using propane and first try each time after that. I was expecting it to be quieter than my 20 year old open frame generator, but it was much quieter than what I had hoped for. It got as little louder with a 1200 watt vacuum cleaner connected and not in eco mode, but still very reasonable. At that load, you can stand 5 feet away with that load and have a conversation without speaking loudly. I haven't tried a larger load yet, but I doubt it will be annoying like the old generator.

Very Pleased. Well constructed & well thought out.

Liked what I read about this before buying. Even more impressed when I received it. Attractive. Quality construction. Well thought out. Included accessories and documentation is top notch. Pleasantly surprised to discover the sturdy extension handle which was not described n the sales write-up. Thanks Westinghouse!

Great portable generator.

Overall a great portable generator for our RV. I love that it fits in the back of my truck under the tonneau cover. Also love the dual fuel option and remote start. Fired right up out of the box. Was impressed to see I could run my RV air conditioner and peaked out at 50% power on propane. The oil was a little tricky to access/fill, but the provided screw in tube was helpful … will have to investigate how to change when the time comes! Really wish the LP regulator had an option for a quick connect into my RV lines so I don’t have to carry an extra tank. Looking forward to first real use.

Awesome features, efficient and easy to use!!!

I love this thing! This generator really does the job as I expected. The generator is reliable and is able to power appliances that are essential during power outages in California. For those in doubt of product... You will be surprised of how great this thing is!!!

So easy to start and quiet too !

Recently decided to upgrade from my old generator to this quiet inverter type generator for my RV. Wow what a difference! Push button start, dual fuel capable and quiet, runs everything on my RV with no problems at all. I should have done this years ago.

Light Weight for Output. Fired up first try

Finally a Duel Fuel portable inverter generator that will run my entire camper 30A. Light enough to lift 1 person (Adult Male in decent shape). Pulled out of the box, connected battery, filled oil and hooked up a propane tank. Push start button and fired right up. Amazingly quieter than my old generator. Great job Westinghouse.

Excellent features, very quiet and great value!

I bought this unit recently and have been impressed. It's much quieter than I expected and has worked out really well. The unit has all the features I need. I'm using this as a back generator for my home. However, I have found it easy to pull around and use around my property as well. It weighs 98 lbs so it's not one you're just going to carry around but the pull out handle and wheels make it easy.

Easy to set up and works great

I only have about one hour on it. Set up was relatively easy. Even though they provide an excellent screw in funnel, adding oil was a little messy. (definitely stuff a rag under while adding oil.) My only minor complaint is that it seems a bit louder than other "quiet" inverter type generators that my friends have. Other than that, I am very happy so far.

Off to a bad start

I bought 2 of these a month ago and just got them set up for emergency home power. On one the regulator is bad and neither one seems to have the juice to run a shop fan on propane. Something has to be wrong. I have left a message with WH. I will let you know the outcome. Can't recommend them as of this writing. Hopefully that will change soon.
