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.

Simple operation

The only operational issue i encountered was with the floating ground. This was easily remedied with a bonding plug. The package included the exact amount of oil neccessary, which is important as there is no other fill indicator. Generator fired up right away on propane and the remote works geat!

mr

I bought this for an RV as an alternative power source when no power hookup is available. It started up easily after filling with oil. The oil fill process could be made easier but not a big issue for me. I ran it for 5 hours on low load and changed the oil and was ready to run with it. I run propane only so its still puts out very close to the full 30 amps on propane. I am very happy with it, the remote start is a plus. It was quieter than I expected but still am able to hear in house when running outside, but not annoying.

Great generator with 2 major design flaws.

Generator works great and runs quiet, making it excellent for tailgating! The 2 major design flaws: only 2 wheels, and they are not casters, and the oil plug/stick color makes it impossible to see the amount of oil in the pan which makes overfilling far too simple.

Disappointed, returning unit

Very disappointed in this generator. 2nd week electric start quit working. Contacted Westinghouse, took 3 days for them to call me back, then asked me to take it apart and troubleshoot for them. Determined it has a bad control module. They offered to send me a part to fix it myself- I declined as I don’t think I should have to repair my own brand new unit. I am returning it.

Awesome Generator! Would Recommend!

I purchased this generator after going camping at our local motocross track for a race weekend with our old style generator, which was not an inverter. We noticed others around us had Westinghouse inverter generators that were quiet and looked easy to transport. I happened to find this model for sale a couple weeks later and purchased it immediately. The instructions were extremely clear on how to start it up and care for it, and it runs perfect! The electric and remote start are huge bonuses, and the generator is quiet and efficient! Would recommend.

Overall -- Not bad.

PROS: I do like the looks, the econo mode, the overload protection, the transportability with the pull-out handle, the dual fuel, the covers for all the components on the face, the remote starting, the pullcord starting, and the low noise level. CONS: When I got to the point to start the unit (using gasoline), all it did was try to start. Never did I smell any gas the multiple times I tried to start it. Turns out that the fuel stepping motor wire connector was broken. The wire was run through a bad spot; the pull cord. Fixed the connector and it fired right up. Also, the remote starting wasn't synced to the system.

An almost perfect generator.

I thiink it will be all the power I need for my 27 ft AC. I plan to only use with propane since I already had a spare 30 lb tank. I should always have a backup with two tanks on my trailer. The negative is the poor design of the oil drain. It is offset to the door for checking the oil so very hard to get a wrench on. Then the screw acting as the plug is in an extension piece from the oil pan and comes unscrewed instead of the plug. You end up with a huge mess in the bottom of the generator. Plus, they apparently expect you to drain the oil into the bottom of the generator and let it go out a drain hole in the bottom of the enclosure. After having this mess the first time I drained the oil, I found an oil drain valve on Amazon that I could install with a fitting i could attach a tube to. Had to install a rubber washer to get a good seal to the valve. Now I can change the oil without any mess.

Bought after hurricane

I bought this after the Hurricane Helene left me without power for a long time. It set unused for about a year. I put in good fuel, oil, connected the battery, charged the battery, selected gas, and it still won't start. Now we are in an ice storm, and it is useless---a very expensive paperweight.

Fantastic Generator with all the features!

So far this generator has been just right! Bought the generator for some basic hoke protection during inclement weather and also for some traveling RV/Outdoor recreation use. The set up has been seamless, straightforward, and just as simple as explained in the quick start guide. The generator power up was also just as easy utilizing any of the methods (pull start, push button start or remote control start). I also compared the wattage draws from some of my home items to the read out on the display and they’ve all matched up accordingly. Very pleased with the generator so far and look forward to its use.
