Powerhouse

We are very excited about this investment because historically we have several power outages each year. We've owned a smaller generator for many years and it's been a lifesaver in keeping the refrigerator/freezer going. But due to its size, it can only power so much. We've been considering a "whole house" model for some time and after seeing the positive reviews and that it was on sale, we pulled the trigger. Set up was straightforward and quick. And we don't know how to act with all these features...having the push button start and gauges are a game changer. The unit itself is compact, sturdy and each option is clearly labeled. It is HEAVY, but the handle and wheels make it so easy to move around. We haven't used it yet, but it's ready to go when needed. We are confident in this generator with the Westinghouse name behind it.

Super Easy to assemble and started on first try

I bought this after the "big freeze" this year in Texas. From the time I cut the box open, I had it assembled and running in an hour. It fired up on the first touch of remote start. I have only run on propane so far. My end cover on back of motor was dented during shipping, and I am awaiting a replacement. Generator runs fine. I should be prepared for next storm.

Push button and remote start are amazing!

Started right up out of the box. Easy assembly of wheels and feet. Funnel was a nice accessory to add the oil and not make a mess. I think this is great value for the power and features of this machine. It is NOT quiet but no louder than expected or any other traditional generator I've heard.

Emergency Generator

Back-up for an aging whole house Generac that's a propane fuel hog(500-gallon tank in 5 days) I use for emergencies. Seldom used but very necessary here in Florida I figure instead of forking over thousands for a new Generac I'd get this one, It's big enough for emergency power that's seldom needed at a very reasonable price.,.

Great Features and Recommended from Electrician

I bought this recommended from an electrician and set up was really easy. I haven't hooked up the propane set up but put gas in it sync the wireless fob and it started right up. I have no doubt the propane will work just as good. Having gas and propane as a dual fuel set up sold me on it. Always think of when there is a storm all gas stations are packed. i dont have to worry about that anymore. I'm going to have my electrician set it up for entire home set up with the adaptor. Can wait for that.

Best made with the Best Warranty

I finally bought this unit after years of indecision on a generator. I decided on Westinghouse because of the 3 year warranty and after reading so many customer reviews. I set it up today, hooked it up to a propane can, and ran like a champ. I am expecting the best performance for years to come.

Smooth Start Up

I decided to crank up my newly unpackaged generator today. The setup was easy and well documented. Once I had everything ready to go, and using the remote key fob to activate it, it cranked up readily. It was really neat. This generator has a bold and solid appearance, much like I would expect a generator to have. I started/stopped it several times, and it performed flawlessly. It has some weight on it as one might expect a generator of this size to have, but with the large wheels and retractable handle it was easy to maneuver. It purrs smoothly when idling. I am looking forward to hooking it up to my house electrical input to see how it performs carrying a load. But so far, I am impressed and pleased.

HEAVY DUTY WITH ATTRACTIVE FEATURES

THIS IS A PROBABLY A LIFETIME UNIT IF YOU MAINTAIN IT WELL. EASILY WILL POWER ALL MY MEDIUM SIZE HOUSE. LOVE THE DUAL FUEL FEATURE. IT EASILY SWITCHES FROM LP TO GASOLINE WITH JUST A TAD OF STUTTER. NOTHING COMPLICATED. KEY FOB IS A GREAT FEATURE.

Sounds like a beast!

I bought this last week and it came today. I self contract and therefore have a lot of tools. Within 5 minutes of putting everything together, I was playing with all my tools on it, and the generator didn't even get phased by the draw. Definitely going to be playing with my appliances next!

Very powerful generator

I bought this generator last week, and it seems perfect to run all my electrical appliances during a power outage! One small problem with attaching one of the legs. The threading in the screw hole is messed up and the screw won't go in all the way.
