Easy setup and usage

Bought earlier this year and was delivered right to my door. Easy set up instructions, add oil as directed, hook up battery, choose fuel and it fired right up. I did a break in period and was surprised how easy it was to change the oil. Westinghouse has a rubber grommet plug on the bottom, let it drain and topped back off, now I'm ready for boon docking and power outages. Did have to play with the idler screw a bit when running on propane, but even that was easy.

PERFECT GENERATOR FOR STORM POWER BACKUP.

This generator fits our needs perfectly! Sips fuel, runs on propane which has a 30 year shelf life. Will power our Frig, TV, and 15000 BTU ac on wheels. If you are looking for a storm outage backup, that is stacked with features and doesn’t break the bank, THIS IS IT!!!!

great features

just purchased and put battery and oil in generator. i'm only going to use propane unless there is an extreme emergency. I hooked up propane tank and pressed the button and it started right up. ran it for a couple of hours varring the load with 1000wt /1500 heat gun . It ran great, pretty quiet ,no gasoline exhaust odors, economy mode slowed the engine down on lower power consumption. instructions says the serial number is on the model information label but it is not there. the serial number is only on the box if you haven't already thrown it away. so far so good. GOING FROM PRODUCT REGISTRATION TO REVIEW IS VERY CONFUSING

Fantastic generator!

I bought this to use on my RV but ended up powering my house during Hurricane Milton for three days. Super quiet, much quieter than non-inverters, battery start for easy starting (although pull start is not hard either), and can burn propane which is cleaner, less messy and safer than gasoline. Overall a great unit. It would have been nice to have more 115 V outlets as it has only two but that is not a dealbreaker.

Solid Unit

I bought this about a month ago. Ran if for thirty hours so far. It’s has great output. The fuel gauge has stopped working and so has most of the digital readout options besides the power output. I have contacted Westinghouse, I’ll update my review once the issue has been resolved

Just what we needed

Product arrived damage free. Quick start instructions were clear and easy to follow. Set the device up on propane and had it up and running in a short time. I can’t believe how quiet this generator is, you can stand beside and talk … at normal levels …. Amazing. Lots of info available via the Digital display concerning, fuel levels, operating info and output info as well. We had actually made this decision on this generator last year but they were out of stock, so we decided to wait.....So Glad we Did. Absolutely a Great purchase. Always true with Westinghouse products.

Surprising Quiet! Wow!

Once I got it set up, it started right away, and wow was I surprised how quiet it was. My wife and I were able to talk right next to it without raising our voice to hear each other. My only challenges I had were due to my bigger hands. The opening for the oil was tough to work with due to the smaller opening and my big hands. It would be helpful if that opening was made bigger. Also don't pour the entire bottle of oil in. I did according to the directions and although the entire bottle did go in without overflowing, there was too much added and I had to remove some. Second thing is to tighten the LP connection on the unit before connecting the hose to it. I didn't, and when I went to disconnect it, it spun and would not come off. After a bit I was able to get some needle nose pliers to hold the connector and take the hose off. Then tighten down the connector on the generator with the open ended tool they provide. All in all really impressed with the product and looking forward to using it throughout the summer. Being duel fuel is a great bonus!

Very Quiet Generator

Excellent price considering features & very quiet noise level. Only disappointment was oil on the bottom & dripping from front rubber foot. Discovered it was from the oil-bath air filter, had been left too saturated. After about 45 min clean-up, added oil and fuel, fired right up and ran very smooth & quiet. 5 hr break-in per instructions and is ready to go when needed. Very economical on gas consumption. Ran perfectly on LPG as-well.

Great Product! Loaded with features and very quiet

I purchased this unit based on Consumer Reports and wow. I can't believe how quiet it is. The battery start and remote start are amazing. Also, the display panel is convenient and easy to read. This unit cannot be beat for all its features and price.

Quiet, stable, and so far reliable.

May be a 5 star, but haven't had it long enough. The only negative thing I can say about it is the instructions clearly state use ALL of the oil supplied. If you do, the first time you move the generator you will leave a nice trail of oil to mark your movement.
