Easy Setup

Only took about 20 minutes to unbox and get ready to run. Used propane and the remote start. It cranked about 15 second and took off. So far runs great. Bought this to run my camper. Hooked it for a test run in the driveway - ran A/C, microwave, water heater. Never hit 50% load. At 61+ db it is a little louder than the 52db listed in the spec.

So Far so good

I bought this a little while back but am just now getting to unboxing and throwing some fuel in it. I really like that it is duel fuel. I haven't tested the propane yet on it. But it started up very early and seems quiet and reliable. I need to put it through more real world scenarios and connect it to various household appliances. I really appreciated the various tools it came with, including the oil.

Quiet and easy to use!

I was surprised at how quiet this thing was! And it is packed with a lot of great features that other generators in the same price range don’t have. Push to start is a nice to have and worked right out of the box. I also really like that it has the dual fuel option. So far I am very pleased with my purchase.

Good generator

I did a test run connecting to my 50A inlet to feed the entire house. I'm using propane for this test. startup is a breeze, start bottom and remote all works. Even without the battery connected, to simulate a scenario when the battery is out of charge, I was able to start with the pull string. With all my 50+ LED lights, TV, Fridge on and furnace running simultaneously, it runs at ~25% load at about 1.5KW, add microwave the load goes up to 75% at 3.34KW. It can also power a single 1500W heater, or a hair drier on high, just need to remember they can only be used one at time, not all together. Overall I think it's a good generator for what I need it for and I would recommend this product.

Great camper generator

We used this generator for our County Fair week. Tried it on both gasoline and propane. We switched from gasoline to propane without power interruption. It was running our AC, microwave, coffee machine, ice maker and charging phones and still got almost a full 24 hours out of a tank of gas with a little less with propane. Propane was so much easier for my wife to switch tanks then refilling the gas tank and worked great for her.

Decent So Far

I have about 30 or so hours on this generator so far. The remote start is extremely nice to have. It also has an estimated fuel and run time display based on the load the unit is carrying which is very nice. It is quiet and smooth in operation except that every hour or so it "bogs down" for a couple seconds. I'm not sure if this is a designed "regen" or something, but it throws my camper AC for a little bit of a loop. If someone knows why it does this or whether it is normal, please let me know. We have only run the unit on gas so far.

Excellent generator!!

Very happy with the purchase of this generator. I bought it to provide power for our 30 amp travel trailer which it does with power to spare. I've been a general contractor for over 30 years and have used numerous generators during that time and I can honestly say this is the nicest one that I've used. I'll be purchasing a larger model for house backup and will definitely go with Westinghouse.

Everything I wanted in an Inverter Generator

I'm really happy with everything about this generator. For the power it's not really that heavy...and easy to move around with the built in handles, one for rolling, two for carrying. Attention to detail was taken with added bonuses like the battery charger, tools and everything you need to get it running. Has the right connection for my 30A RV plug. Dust covers are a nice touch too! Love the remote start and status display. I like the fact it was manufactured in Vietnam.

Quality Inverter Generator

This is the first generator that I have purchased that will be used with my 50amp RV. Packaging of the unit was great, no damage upon receipt. Instructions/user manuals were very clear with several pictures/diagrams to help get orientated with the generator. I completed the "break in" process outlined in the manual and the generator is running great. Thank you Westinghouse for providing a quality and stress free product!
