Quiet and nice generator love the duel fuel.

Bought this for camper van and it does everything we need and runs quiet. Love the dual fuel as don't have to worry about gas smell when transporting. Added oil and hooked up propane it started on 3rd pull love the digital display would buy this unit again./

Good generator overall

I purchased this unit to provide emergency our home during unexpected long-term power outages. I've only tested it a little bit so far (only a few hours at about 40% load), thus I'm reluctant to give it 5 stars at this point, but it seems to work well. My only complaint at this point is that it is sometimes difficult to start via the pull handle, especially after its been running for a while. However, the electric and remote starts seems to operate well. It's not too noisy compared to open frame generators and seems to handle load changes effectively. Eco mode seems to work as advertised too. Overall, I'm happy with it so far. Hopefully it will work just as well when I really need it.

Great setup

Have had a little over a week used it on one camping trip. Features I appreciate are remote start, wife likes it better, fuel gauge, ability to wheel around and drip tray at gas filler cap. One thing I would like different is oil filler neck and level check extended further out.

Just received this generator dual fuel 4500 so far so good did the breaking. Getting ready to take a trip in two weeks to test it out on the living quarters horse trailer will say this changing the oil is a real painand they need to come up with a better system on an adapter to make it easier

Better than Honda

I've owned a honda for a few years and decided to buy a Westinghouse. Boy the westinghouse is great. The added funnel is a real convenient as well as the oil was supplied. It is a must have for all rv users. I will check in again to review after a year of use.

Easy to Setup and Easy to Startup

I just received this unit and have about 1 hour operating time on it. The generator was well boxed and arrived with no shipping damage. Inspecting the unit at unboxing, I found it in good shape with 1 minor scratch. I found two small broken plastic pieces and what looks like a round plastic cover in the box. These did not seem to be part of the generator enclosed. They may have fallen into the box at the factory. The setup and startup were very simple and easy. I tried the unit on both gasoline and propane. I have not done any rigorous load testing yet, only light loads like a hair dryer. So far, the generator seems to be operating correctly on both propane and gasoline. I have one minor concern, with the Efficiency Mode off and no load the generator engine seems to hunt. That is, the RPMs cycles up and down. I'll wait and see if this behavior is due to a malfunction. But so far it doesn't seem to affect the generator operation.

Works as advertised

Bought for 29 foot 5th wheel RV. Inverter generator does everything we needed it for, AC; refrigerators; electric fireplace/heater; microwave/convection oven; etc. Works well with gas or propane. Only issue was battery was dead when we received the inverter but after 8 hour charge it works fine for now.

Lots of features and reasonably quiet.

I bought this to power an air operated caliope that is nearly 100 years old. There are many makes and models of gensets to choose from. I like this one because of the dual fuel, the quiet operation, the electric start, and the built-in wheels and steering handle as well as the two heavy duty carrying handles. It works well on propane and runs very clean. Engine oil should last very well because of the propane. Overall, a great machine.

Bad Oil Fill Instructions

Out of the box brand new, the user manual says to empty the entire bottle of oil (provided) into the engine (pg 15, 3). Given the location of the oil spout, it is impossible to monitor the fill level. About 3/4 cup oil over-filled and spilled into the floor of the casing, and subsequently onto the garage floor. There is no easy way to clean up inside the casing. Twelve hours later, and lots of paper towels, oil is still dripping into the garage floor.

Nice Dual Fuel Generator

Not loud at all. No need to wear earmuffs when operate. Really like the remote control. All most comes with everything you would need to get it start except the fuel of course. Other thought, it would be nice if it also comes with Natural Gas kit or purchase separately.
