So Far So Good!!!

I bought this 3 weeks ago and have only assembled, serviced and briefly ran under light load as I am in the process of getting home ready to accept this backup power! Generator arrived in good condition, was easily assembled and started rite up! Time will tell as I have not put under full load yet! This unit appears to have a lot of safety / electronic type equipment which is good however I don’t know how they will hold up down the road! One thing that I am not crazy about is the push button starting which is an automatic type function which is you push it once and then it automatically triggers the start function (it will automatically try to start 3 times),which is okay for when you want to use the remote control to start but I would rather have a manual type push button to press and hold to start at the generator! As I said, time will tell!!!

Has all the features I was in search of.

I bought this two weeks ago, to replace a 6500 watt generator that served well through Helene. I realized two things one my wife could not start it, and it would not run everything I needed. This appears to be perfect, meets all my needs and being dual fuel significantly improves my fuel storage options

Fired right up!

We purchased this generator about two weeks ago and all we’ve done so far is test it, but it fired right up no issues whatsoever! The remote control is fabulous and it synced up immediately as well. We live in an area prone to hurricanes and have been looking for the best generators for a couple years. This one was a very fair price and excellent quality. If we lose power, this should keep everything running that’s necessary, especially the AC!

Power house

I've only had to use it a few times but I'm glad I have it on hand when needed. I've really only used the Propane option to fuel it as I don't want any gasoline to get stagnant in between uses, but I've been impressed for how long it will run on a simple bottle of propane that I swap from my grill as needed.

Started first time

This appears to be a well-made generator. It arrived boxed with no damage. Assembly was very easy. The unit came with oil, 1.1-quart container, and a very nice, angled funnel which made filling the engine mess free. I kept the 1.1-quart container and cable tied the funnel to it. I will fill the 1.1-quart bottle from a gallon of oil I purchased when i change the oil. It makes it a no brainer on how much oil it takes. Although I always manually check the oil level before each use. I will probably never put gasoline in this unit. I don't want to worry about keeping the gas fresh. With using propane, you do loose a little power, but for my purpose, it is more than enough to run my whole house or my 5th wheel RV with two ac's if needed. I hooked up the propane hose and checked for leaks. I also made sure the main breaker was in the off position and started the unit with the remote control that came with it. It started first crank. I also used the push button and the pull to start feature and all started with ease. I ran the unit and connected small items at first. After the unit was properly broke in, I connected it to the RV. It powered everything with power to spare. The unit is a little loud, but when you need this for emergencies, that is insignificant. The unit has many nice features. I really like that it has a remote that will work up to 99 feet away. That way, I can set up the unit away from the house and not worry about CO fumes. I am very satisfied with this unit so far. I recommend this if you need a nice portable generator. Be advised though, it does weigh a little over 200 lbs. With the solid wheels and pull arm, it is easy to move though. I hope this information helps with your decision to buy one. Have a great day, Billy W.

Portable home generator

It looks like a generator, it sounds like a generator, it acts like a generator. It must be a generator. And a great one at that. I've had it about a month and I have ran it some to get it broken in and fluid in it. I haven't ran the 50 amp plug yet. I'm sure it works great like the others. Very minimal assembly (just put on wheels and plug in the battery). Give it fuel (I used ethanol free with fuel stabilizer). It started right up with the push button. I tried the 120v plugs and they work like I was using my home ones. As far as I can tell this is a great generator and I will ne prepared the next time power goes out. Thank you westinghouse for having an affordable trustworthy generator.

Best duel generator I have tried

This dual fuel generator has been a lifesaver. When the storms rolled through and knocked the power out, it kept my entire house running without a problem. I love how reliable and easy it is to use, and the fact that it runs on both gas and propane gives me flexibility and peace of mind. It starts up quickly, runs smoothly, and has plenty of power for everything I need. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable backup power source.

Outdoor Generator

Just purchased July 2025. Easy set up. Installed wheels and feet. Connected the battery and added the oil. Tested the generator running with propane. Started with the push button start. Held the button for 2 seconds and the generator started up. No issues. Paired the remoted start and tested the start up. No issues started the first time with the remote start. The generator does need about 5 hours of run time to break in per the owners manual. Bought the generator as a backup for potential power outages.

Easy to get Started

I bought this for this years hurricane season. I wanted dual fuel. I put the wheels and feet on, added oil, hooked up the propane line and it started right away. Easy to hook up and I love the battery start. With the led data onboard you can see the output of the machine which is really nice.
