Just Arrived

The generator was packed well and worked right out of the box. everything I needed to get started, minus fuel. Used propane and it started right up. I'm looking forward to having power if my electric goes off from a storm. Great warranty which helped me decide to purchase this unit.

couldn't be easier

just purchased and couldn't be happier. I'm a first time generator buyer so didn't know what to expect and so far I'm very happy. After extensive research settled on the Westinghouse. It's pretty heavy but after installing wheels it got easy to move around. It's duel fuel functionality made running on propane very simple.

Great Features and Easy Assembly

I just bought this a few weeks ago preparing for hurricane season; I have not had a need to use it yet. It started right up, and I ran it today for a bit with a light load on it and it didn't blink at all so I have confidence it will do well when needed to handle a larger load. Assembly was simple, just the wheels and feet. Its output, three startup options, and ability to run on gasoline or propane led to my choosing this model.

Great product and value!

A solid quality product at a great price. Out of the box it was simple to set up and it comes with everything you need like oil and a trickle charger for the battery. I love how this is a duel fuel model so I can hook up a LPG tank (it also comes the necessary hose hookup and regulator) and not worry about gasoline degradation if storing for a long time. The operation is also straight forward and easy to understand. I am also happy with the high capacity and max start which allows me to keep multiple fridge/freezer hooked up in case of a black out, my stored meats will not spoil.

Started right up on first push of starter button!

This generator works great right out of the box.I love the remote start and the dual fuel option. It switches between fuels flawlessly on the fly. It easily powered a 9500 btu air conditioner and 1000 watt halogen work light simultaneously (didn't want to put to much load on it before break in period was over). The generator appears to be high quality and arrived in perfect condition.

Easy Setup and Startup

Purchased this to run (most) of our house on in the event of a power outage. The delivery was easy, and the unit came mostly assembled. Installed the feet, added oil, connected battery, and within 30 minutes it was up and running on propane. Only "weird" thing was mine happened to have a nut bouncing around in the box, but I didn't see anywhere it would have been missing from.

SEEMS WELL BUILT

I DID THE BREAK IN OIL PROCEDURE.RAN ONE HOUR NO LOAD--RAN ONE HOUR 25% LOAD-- RAN ONE HOUR 50% LOAD. I WAS HIGHLY SURPRISED NOT FINDING ANY METAL PARTICLES IN THE OIL CHANGES. JUST DID A BREAK-IN ON NEW DURO MAX 12,000 AND TOOK THREE OIL CHANGES TO CLEAN UP ENGINE OIL.. HOPEFULLY THIS IS A KEEPER!!!!

Strong Generator

The generator is solid. It is a little noisy but that was exacerbated by the rain. Pros: The remote starting is a nice touch for the cold mornings. Cons: Remote start attempts is a start cycle that attempts to start 3 times while it auto adjusts the choke for gas operation. The propane start is a cleaner quicker start. It takes a little getting used to. The pull start is a little awkward to pull but it is hopeful you never have to practice that.

Great Design

Consideration given from packaging through assembly and features.. Flange bolts instead of washers and hex bolts and battery charger are greatly appreciated. I experience frequent power outages where this generator will be used so only time will tell regarding long term reliability but we are off to a good start.

Very sturdy machine

I have given this generator 4 stars for the simple reason we haven’t used it yet! The construction of the machine is impressive. Everything was packaged nicely. The crate was delivered intact without any damage. My husband was able to attach the wheels without any problems except the generator is heavy & it took both of us to lift it up on a wedge! We are elderly! ❤️ We were impressed, & recommended it to family!
