Super Relaible

This generator is very dependable, starts up ALWAYS on the first or 2nd time. I use this generator 5-6 a month powering a variety of outdoor equipment. This is one piece of equipment and am never worried about. I highly recommend this generator. I have owned many generators in the past and this one is much more quiet and much more dependable.

Best Generator I have had!

I was looking for a simple quiet generator that used propane. I settled on the Westinghouse because of the great experience I had with another Westinghouse generator. This one exceeds that. Easy to set up. Hooked up the propane tank, pushed the button and it started. And it is super quiet.

Great features

Works great. The remote is a super useful feature for boondocking. Only thing I was it had was a flexible drain tube like some other inverter generators to change the oil. The drain plug is difficult to get to. I used a universal joint on a socket to remove/install but I'm partially inclined to say removing the side would be easier and less messy. Minor issue though as everything else is great so far. I haven't used gas but he propane fired right up. Very quiet for the size. I only have a large 5500 watt briggs and stratton house generator to compare it to and it's way quieter than that but so is a jet engine ...

Impressive unit with some tight spaces

My unit shipped very clean, it was easy to setup. I did need to reseat the battery and it's strap holding it in and to be fair the oil area is tight and a little hard to maneuver but the procedures were simple. The unit started right up on propane. I don't yet know if it will have any issues but so far so good.

Easy Setup

I just bought this generator two weeks ago and it was very easy to setup and get it started. The remote control worked the first time and the on and off button also worked. I figured I’d have a hard time pulling the generator around but it was very easy with the handle and wheels. I love the fact that I can use it on gasoline or propane.

Just received review

I just got this on time shipped direct. I started without any issue (recoil start only version). It is very quiet compared to another brand traditional generator. There was no damage to the generator during shipment. I have only done a quick test and it puts out power. Time will tell but this is only a power outage backup so it won't get heavy use (Hopefully!!)

Quiet as far as generators go

Bought this for camping and for when we lose power at the house. Very simple to use whether connecting to propane or using gas. We also wanted a generator that wasn’t noisy for camping off the grid and this delivers as promised. When our neighbors run their portable generator 3 houses down, I can hear theirs over ours!!

Won't start

I bought this item 6 months ago. We got out camper two months after that and tested everything out. The electric and remote start are a joke. They wouldn't work reliably. We did get it going and ran for a little while to test it's ability to handle our A/C unit. A couple months later I took it out to camp and NOTHING. It won't start. We went through all of the manual testing every possible option as well as watching YouTube Videos and reading service bulletins from Westinghouse and cannot get the product running. I am very disappointed with this purchase.

Solid Generator

Just received this yesterday. Easy unpacking, and very good startup information. Did all the prep, hooked up the propane, checked the lines, used the starter button and it fired right up! Very quiet generator. Put a load on it which ramped it up slightly, but still nice and quiet. Very pleased so far, can't wait to try it on the RV!

Works like it should. Easy to start. Easy to handl

I originally purchased another Westinghouse generator that was virtually impossible for me to start by hand. The pull-cord stroke was something like 7 feet! This push-button start is everything it's supposed to be. Starts super easy, runs quiet. BTW, the 30 amp connection is kind of an oddball. Not sure why they chose that particular design for the extension cord. But if you keep looking you'll find the cord that you need.
