Mostly good so far

Unit started well right out of the box using the electric start and recoil. Remote doesn't seem to be pairing to the generator even with multiple attempts. Checked batteries in fob and they are good. Missing the manuals and Quick Start guide upon opening box. Runs quietly but does trip easily on RV AC start up of second unit running on LP. Overall seems solid but to run both AC units we will probably need to parallel to get enough starting amps. Like the option of dual fuel.

Great unit, initial setup required disassembly

This unit is nice! Ton of features and relatively quiet. I did run into an issue where there was a small leak in the bottom of the unit (the drainage hose used for keeping the unit in long term storage). Turns out I needed to tighten a screw after disassembling the generator slightly. I'm excited to use this generator with my travel trailer this season.

Great Inverter Duel Fuel

I bought this generator to run my RV when electric not available. This has plenty of power to run Air conditioning and everything else. It is duel feed both propane and gasoline. Has all the power you need. It will also run your refrigerator in the house should your power go out.

Recommended in consumer reports magazine.

This Westinghouse inverter generator was recommended by Consumer Reports. It is powerful enough to run my furnace and appliances during an emergency. I will have a transfer switch installed so that I can run the generator without an extension. Nothing like peace of mind.

Good price

I bought this last month. Thankfully haven't had to use it yet. Cranked easily first try and ran quietly. Too heavy for a 65 year old woman to pick up but old woman and old man husband were able to pick up and set on back of truck. has an extension handle and rolls easily.

Just what I needed

Great back up generator. I takes little space to start and its easy to handle with the telescope handle. It's really handy that it comes with the adaptor for the liquid propane tank, the correct oil, oil funner and tools. Im pleased with my purchase.

Ease of setup

We lost power during Helene for over a week. I got this in case this happens again. I also bought a propane heater so this would be used for other things like electric blanket or toaster oven, chargers etc. I think it will be more than sufficient. The product was easy to use and besides the propane or gas did not require additional things for setup.

Works Great

I've had this unit about a month haven't used it a lot I put the gas in it oil in it and it cranked started right up the first time. Also hooked it to a propane tank and it worked great . I'm impressed. And it's quiet. Have not had much issue with the carbon monoxide detector I have a camper topper on my truck if I don't pull it out onto the tailgate it will shut off but I have not had an issue when I pull it out to the end of my tailgate. I like the digital display it tells you how much fuel you have left. But will not tell you how much propane left. It also tells you how many hours you have left depending on the water you are using if I was using 1500 watts it would say I had 15 and a half hours left but when I turned it off it would go back to 22 hours left so that's pretty cool.

Started immediately!

I added the oil and fuel and pressed start and it immediately started. I was worried that I would have issues from reading previous reviews. The access to the oil, battery, and inside the engine service cover are a bit tight. The manual confused me for a bit because it had information about the choke that I don't see on my unit. Very satisfied.

New but love it so far

Super easy setup. I had it running within minutes of unboxing. I ran it on propane first. Used all three starting methods and it started first time with all three. I was able to start with the remote from over 120 feet away. Very solid, feel like great quality. I was blown away by how quiet this generator is, even when standing next to it. From 20 feet away it's just minor background noise.
