Good value, not too heavy

Wanted a duel fuel generator to use with a travel trailer. Had to be light enough for one old guy to move, and quiet enough to use in campgrounds. This one fit the bill. Directions for set up were easy to follow…starting on propane can take several tugs on the cord, but it runs great after that. Eco mode reduces the noise level further.

Satisfied customer

The inverter generator is what I was looking for dual fuel so I don't have to use gasoline and remote start. The directions say to push the remote for 2 seconds, but so far I have hold it until it starts. It came without any oil and I had to purchase myself. The serial number wasn't where the directions said it would be, it was on the side panel.

Looks good out of the box.

Arrived in good shape. Setup was easy, basically add oil and fuel and it's ready to run. Started up easily on the first try running on propane. Have hooked it up to several different loads as I go through the breakin period. Have stopped and started several times. Electric start with remote is something you think you don't need, but once you use it a couple of times it sure is a nice feature.

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

Great portable generator

I was impressed how portable it is, lightweight with wheels and extendable handle it's so easy to move around. Came well packed and ready with all the accessories made it easy to get started. Connected the battery for the electric start and it worked great the first time. It is also much quieter than my big standard generator. Excellent product.

GREAT GENERATOR!

Fast set up and starts quickly with just a touch of a button. Ours is set up for propane and plugs into a through the wall set up with multiple plugs on the inside of the house to prevent any exhaust gasses from coming inside. Now we are all set for power outages with this backup system!

Great Features!

Great features, I don't know, it shuts off when I try to use it. Had it two weeks, don't know if it got damaged in shipment. Something trips when I go to use it. Battery guage always shows 0%. I can't tell you if it's great are not. I can tell you the remote start works great! The only thing so far. Taking forever to find out if I can take it to an authorized service provider.

Ron's very quiet even with a load on it!

The generator seems professionally built and the fit and finishe is good except for the rear exhaust is off center from the exit hole a good bit and the propane attachment coming out of the front control panel needs to be 1/8 to 1/4 inch over to the right. I barely was able to get the hose fitting attached.

Great pick!

After countless hours researching generators, I decided to buy this inverter generator due to the power outages in this area. I wanted something smaller, lighter and quieter than a standard generator yet powerful enough to provide sufficient energy to a refrigerator to save food during longer outages, to power a modem/router, computers, monitors, cell phones, and a fan. Powering anything else is a bonus for me. I tested this inverter generator several times in preparation for the next outage and anything I plugged in was handled with ease and still plenty of room for more output. I also really like the dual fuel option, which I tested and both fuel sources worked effortlessly. The electric start is a huge win too. Highly recommend!

Great Product

I bought this a couple months ago, it works great. It was exactly what I was looking for. The remote start is a great upgrade from my last inverter/generator. Its great to stay in the trailer on a cold morning and have the generator start with out going outside. The generator is nice a quiet, can easily sleep while it is running.
