So far so good

Purchased this for power outage emergencies. Hopeful that I really will not need it. I have not really used it it yet but I’ve been pleased with the set up - easy to do with one person. Not much assembly required and tucks easily into the garage without taking up a lot of room.

Awesome! Has really helped!

Bought this product because we live in an area with many, many power outages. Just recently was scheduled to have and outage that was supposed to last 14 hours. This worked like a charm! Powered our whole house. It was nice to have power and running water! Didn't lag when running multiple things. We were smart, of course and didn't get crazy turning everything on. Has a long run time on a tank of gas. The remote key fob is awesome too. Don't even have to walk outside to start it up. I highly recommend this to anyone who live in a rural area. Lifesaver!

Dependable

I live on the Gulf Coast and this gen-set is the best bang for your bucks. When a hurricane comes my lights will be on, then I stow it away for next season. Also it is great for running all electrical gear at the hunting camp. So far no problem's or issues. Good piece of gear to have for work, fun are storms.

Easy setup

Took less than 15 minutes to unbox, attach wheels, and add oil. I wanted to see if it would start off the pull start without using the electric start. Easy pull and started within 3 or 4 pull. Electric start is a great feature along with the dual fuel option. Anxious to see how much of the house this unit will power.

Great features and possibilities for the price.

Delivered in good shape in the box on a pallet. Easy setup to get it ready to use. Put the whole quart of oil in it that came with it. I may have missed it, but I couldn't find the oil capacity spec to double check how much oil I was supposed to use of the quart, but it seemed to take the whole thing. I will check the level again before next use. Hooked up the battery, put gas to it, and it started right up beautifully with the push button. Let it run 20-25 minutes unloaded to let the engine start to break itself in. Don't have any feedback on using it yet, but I am really curious to see if it can carry my well. My other ETQ 5500/6250 generator could not cycle my well, even when only the well circuit was on, so that is why I upgraded to this one that was nearly twice the size of the old one. We will see, so more to follow.

Lots of great features

I hope I never have to use this, but I’m so glad I have the capability. This generator has so many great features, and is a breeze to operate. Love that I can literally switch between fuel sources, and the remote start. This generator is a beast, and I know we can stay comfortable and safe during those harsh weather events.

Easy to Install

We have been trying to order this generator since March. They were out of stock until early June, just in time for hurricane season in south Florida. The generator was very easy to assemble and start. The electric start and remote start were key features along with the ability to run on propane.

So easy to use my wife can use it, hahaha.

We live in a area that loses power a lot, with a well pump not being able to take a shower or a simple thing as flushing the toilet was unacceptable to my wife. We're simple country folk and this will pretty much run our whole house. With the remote start feature my wife will be able to start the generator if I'm not at home.

Great Generator! Great Value for the money!

This generator is chock full of features-including a trickle charger, ability to run on propane or gasoline, has 30 and 50 amp outlets, auto chock, remote start and more. Plus, in my opinion, it is much quieter than my previous portable generator. My electrician installed an manual interlock system and we tested it out. Started my central air-28,500 BTUs with now problem. Also, started and ran my 50 gal. water heater with AC running-though he didn't recommend doing that due to energy usage concerns. He was very impressed with this generator's handling as we put it thru it's "paces" in turning breakers on and off. I hope I don't have to use it for a power outage, but I'm in Florida and this is supposed to be a really active hurricane season...so I have the peace of mind of knowing that I'm prepared- kind of like an insurance policy I hope Also, I have read about how hard it is to connect the 50amp cord to the outlet on the generator due to its proximity to the top of the wheel. Yes, I did need to use a little effort to get the cord to bend enough at the top of the wheel to allow for me to plug it in properly but I don't feel it took that much effort but I know it could be different for others. The one thing I am concerned about is that it's not supposed to be used in the rain. I wish that Westinghouse had an inexpensive way of housing the generator outside to protect it from the elements. However, I may have found a solution on YouTube for a DIY shelter...so we'll see. Regardless, my first impression, and I will only use the propane, is that this is a really substantial generator.

Generator

I just received this today. I tried to follow some of the directions about the grounding etc. and the pictures were not quite what was on my model. I hooked it up to propane and it fired right up. I am waiting to get a switch so this can be connected to my house and then I will also try the gasoline so I will update when that happens. The true test will be if we get a freeze need to use it.
