Great Little Backup Power

I ordered it and it was shipped in 2 days turnaround, I'm very excited to have purchased this dual fuel because my 10K is gas powered in the event we need to relocate we can load this unit and some propane and oil, and we're set you can get any better. We looked at others but this one won hands down and the pullout handle was the icing to moving the unit around without it hitting your heels, the remote and service tools was a bonus I just put the supplied oil in connected the propane line opened and checked for leaks and started it up, manual, remote and push start switch unit started up with no problem. "Great job Westinghouse" a solid name I can remember coming up in the 60s, you haven't lost your touch in providing a product that performs well, have the right power and weight for it size and lastly performance and price of this unit

Inverter generator 5000 watt

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and it’s as good as advertised.Fully assembled in the box. I added the oil that came with it and gasoline. I pulled the starter cord and it worked on the second pull.It’s much quieter than my other standard generator.It easily powers my 26 foot travel trailer along with the air conditioner.

Exactly what I expected!

This generator works great! I use it with my small RV trailer. It runs everything just fine. It will struggle a little if I run the AC and the microwave at the same time. I run it with propane only. It has never had gasoline in it. The remote start is a huge bonus. I can start the generator from inside my trailer. With my previous generator, I had to unplug everything before I shut it off and replug after I started. This is definitely a hassle. With my new Westinghouse generator I simply shut it off and start it up. No plugging and unplugging. I do however turn all the the appliances, AC, ect. off before starting and stopping.

Compact, Light Weight, Quiet

Just bought this generator after Beryl hit Houston and experienced prolong power outage. This is my first time buying an inverter generator and I am happy with the purchase. It's well-built and run with very low noise. Not strong enough for my AC unit but will hook up to my breaker for other appliance. Wish it has an electronic/push button start.

Just WOW!

Did the research, put my money on this and could not be happier!!!! Super quiet, runs on propane, remote start, fits perfectly in the bed of our F150 with a liner and Tonneau cover, fires up the AC in our camper with no problem at all, what more could anyone want??? If you can find it in stock you will not be disappointed I promise!!

Good First Impression

Unboxing the generator and finding everything I needed was a welcome sight. The battery connected easily to my trickle charger and went to full charge quickly. The oil is a bit of a pain to get to, especially if you have big hands, but the filler hose does screw on and there is a washer at the end, so kudos for that. The cap is difficult to get back on. It keeps wanting to cross thread. A bigger access door would be helpful. Gas cap attached, nice touch. Went to fire it up and it starts and dies right away. Have to look into this. May be a return. Shouldn’t have to work on something right out of the box. First impression, I would not recommend, but hoping to be convinced in the long run.

The features I was looking for

I researched portable generators thoroughly to use for household back-up in the event of a power loss. Upon receipt (it arrived very well packaged) and after filling with oil and connecting the battery, the generator would not start. I open the side panel and found that a wiring harness, which apparently actuated the automatic choke, was not connected. I connected the harness and the unit started and ran perfectly. If it had not been for the above mentioned issue, I would have rated the unit five stars. I would highly recommend this generator to a prospective buyer.

Worked with no issues

Easy to prep for first run. Started easily. I like the battery trickle charger. Over all very nice unit. The reason I gave this unit a four is that it louder the specified. Specified as "as low as 52db" but un-loaded with eco-mode on I measured 75db at 6ft

Dual Fuel is great! Quiet!

I purchased a year ago but just set the generator up this weekend. Decided to try propane first. I got it ready and plugged it in for several days to let battery charge. Pulled out today and the generator started right up. Runs quiet! Going to try it out on a primitive camp trip. I will say the fit and finish isn’t great on this but overall for the $ seems to be a good generator. Hope it lasts, as it will only get used a couple of times a year for camping and as a back up if lose power.

Quiet and loaded with features

I bought this generator to replace a very loud generator I have owned for many years. I always felt like I was disturbing the entire neighborhood when I ran that one. This one is quieter than I ever expected, and even quieter on Eco mode. The display for run time remaining, power being used, and hours run is fantastic. This generator has everything I could ever want. I usually have a full tank of propane at the house as a spare for the grill, so with dual fuel capability, even if I've used all the gasoline in the mower, I'm still good to go when I need generator power.
