Excellent Purchase

We purchased this unit for both limited home and RV use. It exceeded my expectations! Being able to run both gasoline and propane makes this unit so versatile. It is so easy to set up and run that it can be ready to supply power in less than 30 minutes. Everything works perfectly. Can wait to put it in to use while RV-ing! Thanks, Westinghouse for another great product!!!

Poor Performance

I purchased this generator in May 2019 and it has stopped starting either remote or otherwise. The rip cord handle fell off, I never used the handle! The fuel float is broke and when I started it with gasoline, all of the gasoline came pouring out of the bottom of the unit! Several other issues, too many to name.

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!!

Great Features

Recently purchased this item from Lowe's. Had it shipped to the store. Only took 2 days to arrive. Took it home, drained the carburator bulb which was basically empty. I only plan on using propane. Added oil, connected battery plug, connected propane and it fired right up. Quiet as advertised.

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.

Works Great! Super Qiet

Very happy with it! I got this inverter generator to mount on the front trailer tray on the RV. The remote start is awesome as it lets me start if up and use the air conditioner while boondocking, without even having to go outside. I was very impressed with just how quiet it is while in eco mode and just how smoothly it starts up. A must have for any RV enthusest.

Great little workhouse

I got this product right after Hurricane Helene swept through. Like many in our area of western North Carolina we had no power or phones for over 2 weeks. This is a real workhorse, and the dual fuel feature is especially appreciated. Good job Westinghouse!

Just What I Need

I have been procrastinating on buying one of these, but the latest storm convinced me this is a good idea. Consumer Reports highly recommends this this unit, so I will give it a try. The unit arrived in excellent condition with all parts required. As a dual fuel, I expect to be able to keep it going regardless of some area issues in supplies.

Perfect for our needs

This is a very nice inverter generator. It is a good size for using as back-up power when the power company decides to turn-off our electricity. It has enough power to keep our freezer & refrigerator going as well as our microwave and some lights. And being an inverter, we can also safely power our computers and other sensitive equipment. While this is the first generator we've bought, it seems pretty quiet.

Great Generator So Far Out the Box

This is my first generator ever, so I watched a lot of YouTube videos and reviews before purchasing. This is my first impression, but so far so good. Out the box after adding the oil and connecting the battery, it started up on the first push on the remote using propane. I was pleasantly surprised. I can't wait to start using it to see how it performs as a backup power generator.
