This new portable generator is a vast improvement over my previous generator, manufactured 20+ years ago. The new Westinghouse looks fantastic, starts easy,, and runs smooth. I've waited almost six months to submit this review, expecting to lose power in the meantime and have more than short test runs to evaluate the generator, but no power outages have occured from March thru August. The generator is heavier than expected and I'm glad a young strong grandson lives here with me to help move it. The generator is plumbed into the second electrical breaker box. There's enough generator power to do everything I need, except for water heater, clothes dryer, range, and oven. The microwave can be used at partial power, and at full power if other electrical stuff is turned off. I can even use the generator to power my geothermal system heat pump, but only when the outdoor temp is greater than 20 degrees F. The electrical resistance heating would use far more power but doesn't turn on until it's less than 15 degrees outside at my home. May ask geothermal tech to install a separate switch to turn off electrical resistance heaters when the generator is the only power source.

Purchased the generator after hurricane Helene so I have not used it much so far. The generator was easy to assemble and start. I have tested with propane so I wouldn't have to drain the gas afterwards. I like the option of tri fuel because I have the option of all of these and it would depend on the situation. I plan to install a manual switch so I don't need to run a bunch of extension cords. This generator should have enough power to run all the essentials and more.

After moving to SWF, I upgraded to a 50 amp service and replaced my 10 yr old Gen with this model. Multi fuel options, remote start, quick connect battery and CO2 sensor. Just what I needed as a backup in case of a power outage or running my tools.

Just delivered yesterday and I unboxed it today. I have been looking to upgrade to a bigger generator as my needs have changed in my new home. We moved from the hustle and bustle of central Florida to a home in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where power outages can be common certain times of the year and when it goes out the average restoration time is 6to 8 hours average. Our other generator wattage was only 5500 peak watts which was adequate for central Florida home with city water and gas appliances. But our new home is all electric with a well pump which the load is higher. I don’t expect it to run the complete home but it will be more than enough to run the necessities to make out power outages a little more easier. With 3 refrigerators , 2 freezers , lights fans and a well pump I was at my limit with 5500 watts. I haven’t used the new Westinghouse Generator yet but I know it is only a matter of time. The day we purchased this we had two outages with in one week totaling 14 hours.

I’m very happy with this purchase. I was looking for a reliable back up generator in case of power outages and this one runs all of the essential elements of my house without an issue. I’ve found that it’s more reliable to use the pull rope instead of the electric push button starter, but that may be because I only use it occasionally as a backup instead of using regularly. As with any machine - read the manual and follow the directions to ensure it operates properly.

I put it together and fired it up with propane. Ran with no issues and used a power saw to test. Haven't used it more than 2 minutes, so I cannot comment more. The remote looks like it was packed in a bad spot, there are wear marks on the front of it. Will try that in the next week to make sure it works

I have a lot of experience with large commercial diesel generators (100 KW+) and portable generators such as this one. It took less then 20 minutes to setup by myself - with the help of my tractor to unload it. I have only run mine for a few hours to start the break-in and try it out. It is quieter then the name brand 8 KW open frame gen it is replacing (the 8 KW reached the end of it's service life) and looks like it will be much easier to service with a better layout. From what I have seen so far, I am really happy with my purchase, I think you would be hard pressed to find a better portable generator of this size for this price - it is a good value. I am pretty confident it will serve my needs as my backup gen for my off-grid homestead for many years with proper service.

This generator came with everything, wheel kit, battery, tool kit, oil funnel, even a quart of oil. It started right up with the push button start also with the remote fob.I plugged it into my transfer switch and ran my entire house AC and water heater no problem. Iam very happy with this generator and highly reccomend it.

We live in Houston and have lost power a few times due to storms. After much research and many recommendations from others, we decided to buy one of these and have it installed. It should run most of our home, giving us the comfort we need post a prolonged power outage. It is now installed and tests were great. Feeling ready and happy, in case we lose power again. This time we won’t have to go camp in a friend’s home

I bought this generator a month ago and just now getting around to testing it out. I just added oil and gasoline and it started right up. I love the electric start... no cord pulling (but as backup, it can be started with a cord). I also love being able to use propane or natural gas as alternate fuel. The last power outage I experienced, I couldn't get gasoline because gas stations were also closed due to no power. I definitely recommend this generator.
