More features than imagined

I bought this unit after my last generator blew up. After much research this is the product that won hands down! Packaging was excellent, not a scratch. Easy to follow instructions and assembly. Battery was charged, added fuel and would not start. There must have been an air bubble in the fuel line I can', after a shot of starting fluid I was off to the races. I cant wait for the power to go out again so I can run this puppy!

Perfect Power

What a great product. Simple to operate, my daughter who is small can pull start it, the auto choke release is a great touch. First time I started it I filled it with fuel, turned the fuel shutoff on. Choked it and then pulled the recoil start 3 times to prime it and move some oil around. I turn the switch to ON, pulled the start rope again and it started right up. Didn't have to pull hard and fast, just a smooth pull. Then My daughter wanted to try starting it. I shut it off, turned it to on with no choke and she started it with no problem. We went over operating instructions so she felt sure of herself. (power always goes out when I'm not home) 2 days later the power company shut us down because of high winds. She rolled it out and put it on the pad by herself, started it and had everything running and powered up when I got home. BTW the generator out weighs her by 175lbs. So here is the pros & cons because that's what you are here for right. PROS: User Manual is complete - Assembly- is easy, duel fuel-is a plus, Electric start & remote start-perfect . Fold away handle. low noise level. gauges/meters. outlet covers. Under a load it barely makes a different sound. It is a great generator, the perfect addition to our home because of our power company turning off our power 4 to 5 times a month, (under windy conditions) Now the CONS, (which BTW I really am nitpicking here) Fuel tank could be bigger, some of the nuts that the feet screw into were not aligned and it made assembly a little difficult. That's it, all I can complain about. SO, would I recommend it, YES. Maybe not a generator you would want to load into the bed of a truck everyday, but if you did it would power every tool you have. I tested it with my wire feed welder and it never missed a beat. One last thing, My next door buddies gen wouldn't start so we ran cords over the wall. and this is what we powered: 4 fridges, 2 freezers, 3 lamps, 2 computers, Modems, Routers and my central heater, and a microwave oven a few times. The Generator never missed a beat. I am very happy with your product Westinghouse!

Great Purchase for the Money

Picked it up about a week ago and completed all the steps prior to and for running it. Started right up without issue. Simple operation. Ran it under load with issue. Voltages all checked out. This was done with a hand held meter as well as the built in generator meter. Easy assembly. Can't beat the price nor all of the positive reviews. This was my final choice when selecting between this gen and a Duromax brand of the equivalent size. The running time was far better before refueling. It was close between the two.

Awesome features

I just recieved this today, and it's pretty awesome. It arrived with a minorly bent frame, but it doesn't affect the function. Once i added fuel and oil, it started on the third crank, then ran like a champ. Probably going to put it through its paces during the next hurricane.

Great Generator

Generator arrived in a really nice sturdy box. Other generators I have bought have broken boxes because they are so heavy. No problems here. Easily unboxed and finished installation including installing the wheels and adding oil. Hooked it up to propane and started right up. I haven't had to use yet under a heavy load but working fine so far under a light load. Ultimately plan to connect it to a house transfer switch to power the entire house.

Dependable & Easyy to use.

Has every hookup that I might need. Easy to start/with remote Easy to hook up to my propane tank. First time I started it up on propane, it worked great. Like the electric start and the number of outlets. Will be using to operate electric equipment around my property. Backup generator for house in case of power lose. Will not be at a loss for electric power.

Electric start is game changer

We are now in our 70s and this electric start is a game changer. No more pulling that darned rope! Also, the fact that it’s duel fuel -gasoline or propane- gives us peace of mind that we’re always ready. Overall, a very nice generator at a great price. Thank you.

Heavy Duty Power

This compressor has all you can ask for. I bought it for house power emergencies and liked the 50 amp 240 outlet. Beware, ITS A BEAST!! You need 2 people (at least) to lift it. I used a tractor to get it out of my truck. Its a lot more manageable once the wheels are assembled. And the wheels have quality sealed bearings, rolls nice.

Great features, Good capacity!

We bought this generator to support our whole house needs during a power outage. We wired up a 50 Amp outlet to the breaker box and added an interlock to manage the mains vs generator. Using dual 30lb Propane tanks connected with a dual tank switchover regulator. We did a whole house test and found that we can have both high efficiency Mitsubishi heat pumps cooing the house with about 3KW left for other loads. We really love this generator and it's dual fuel capability, large amperage capacity, metering, great design.
