Features I wanted

After connecting the battery and adding oil, I connected it up to a small propane tank. Using the remote start, it cranked a couple of times and fired up nicely. Adding the oil was messy as it is easy to overflow. Allthough it is a well written and substantial user manual, it wasn't obvious a 5 hour 50% load break-in was needed. Just a lot to read in the user guide.

Quality Build

The item was delivered in excellent condition. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet but I'm certain it will deliver everything it's rated for and what I need. Do not forget to read the owners manual, as operating as altitudes above 2,000 feet require different regulators and fuel jets. Good product!

Awesome Unit

Ordered on a Thursday evening, recieved it Monday morning, added oil, connected the battery, added fuel and fired right up after a few priming cranks. Used the key fob inside the house with the doors closed (generator outside) and was able to start it every time. Love the quietness. Can't wait to take it to the Talladega race in May to give it a good try out

Love this!!

Bought this for going out west and primitive camping in the mountains. Worked absolutely wonderful. My only complaint was that the fuel gauge didn’t seem 100% accurate as it read about a 1/4 less than how much fuel was actually in it. Battery strap also unhooked during the drive, but we took very rough roads so I don’t blame that on the generator at all. Was able to use the remote to start every single time, and when needed to pull, only required two pulls and it fired up flawlessly. Aside from the fuel gauge issue it worked wonderfully and I’m very pleased with the purchase.

The One that Works Was Great!

I originally bought 2 of these generators, but one of them didn't work and had to be returned for a replacement. Better still was the somewhat belligerent woman I spoke with on the phone when I called. She seemed to be excited to pull a power play on correcting me. Not the person you'd expect when you call for Customer Support.

Nice quiet dual fuel machine.

Installed it on a plate mounted to our trailer tongue. Started right up after sitting for six months in its original packaging. Sufficient power to meet the requirements of our 2020 Grand Design Imagine 247 BH TT. Running through break in period, as I am writing this review.

Excellent Generator!

We just bought this generator at the beginning of December knowing the we get many power outages in the winter months. We just had to give it a trial run and it worked beautifully! We had zero issues with startup. The unit is quiet, much quite than we anticipated, which we love! The remote start is a really neat bonus feature as well. We're confident this is the perfect generator for our families needs. Highly recommend!

easy start, very reliable so far!

I absolutely love this generator, super easy to use and haven't had an issue yet! the only design flaw I've found was the oil drain- Westinghouse please make it easier to get to, add a valve and a hose so its less mess. the hole in the bottom of the plastic case doesn't even line up with the drain plug

Great Inverter !

I've only had this a short while. Only takes about five minutes to set up. I'm using propane only at this time because it is cleaner and easier to store. It started up after the third crank after using the fob. Ran real smooth and is real quiet in the eco mode. My main use is for power outages due to utility shutting down power on windy days and as well as Mother Nature. Powers refrigerator, tv's and computer with no problem ! Great inverter !!

Good product- but with issues

It runs quiet and powered my camper quite well during the break-in period. I like the fact that it has the propane regulator, hose, oil and a tool kit with it, along with a very complete owners manual. The extendable pull handle works well. I wonder why they have a remote start feature with a fob when you have to disconnect all cords from the inverter before starting it. My biggest concern is the digital display is not functioning - at all. I have been in contact with the service number and the gentleman told me to remove the front cover and see if there are any loose wires on the panel. Since I am comfortable working on these types of things, I did. I found no loose wires or connections and the panel still does not work. I have sent a copy of my receipt and am waiting to find out how far I have to drive to get it to authorized shop. I hope it goes well. I detest buying a new product and having it fail right out of the starting gate, or having to investigate the problem myself. It should be sound when it leaves the factory.
