Loaded with Features

Got this unit 2 days ago. Unpacked it from box and assembled it in minutes. Love that it already has a battery and charger plus push button start including a key fob. Tested it on propane after filling with oil and it fired right up and ran great. I checked the voltage outputs and frequency with my meter and they checked excellent. Will be easy to start and run periodically since I can charge the onboard battery and connect a propane tank in minutes!! So far... Great experience!!

Perfect

This is the 2nd attempt for getting the "bonus cover" for leaving a review. I received an email from Westinghouse saying my 1st review went live. No idea where it went. This gen is perfect for what I needed. Started right up on propane, no gas yet. It ran my freezer, refrigerator/freezer and central air with no problem. Would buy again if needed.

Westinghouse generator

Just unboxed our new Westinghouse generator we couldn't be happier has several great features between the remote start and ability to use alternative fuels ( duel fuel) love the idea we can use gas or propane. Start up and assembly was super easy and the manuals we super easy to read and understand..not some others where you feel lost when you read them ...thanks Westinghouse for making this purchase worth the money.

Great dual fuel generator!

I bought this to have some piece of mind during my first winter in Pennsylvania. Set up was easy and I’m very happy we opted for the duel fuel version. Test runs went well so I’m sure it’ll be great once I need to use it for real! Would definitely recommend especially for the size and price point.

Great Features

I received the generator yesterday. It was easy to set up and get running. I was pleased that included with the generator was a tool kit containing a wrench and a spark plug tool. It was also nice that oil and a funnel were included. I tested the generator using propane and it started right up and ran smoothly and was actually a bit less noisy than I expected. Overall a good buy.

Great Generator!

I just received this generator. It was very simple to put the wheels and pads on. It seems like they made it easy to maintain and service - oil, battery, etc. I fired it up and it runs great! It runs quieter than I expected. It has a nice handle and is well balanced to move around.

Easy to assemble

Was easy to assemble and runs well, just a bit loud, but its a powerful engine. Some small issue comments: The manual didn't match what I was getting (e.g talks about hooking up the battery, but it was already hooked up. Additionally, the progression of the manual didn't match what I needed to do (under operation preparation there was no mentioning of needing to fill oil) though they shipped an oil bottle and had a sticker around the oil fill plug to remind you that you had to fill it in. So overall minor things. When I started the engine up for the first time with the electrical starter it didn't work, I had to do a manual start and use the choke, then it worked on first try.

Reliable

I bought this generator beginning of January took me 20 min to get it up and running. Started first push of the button. I got 2 30lb propane tanks and showed the wife and 1 of 3 kids how to start it up(other 2 had no interest). Hooked up the 50 amp plug to the house and had no problem running entire house lights, stove, 2 refrigerators, electric hot water heater but of course won’t go to that extreme when we loose power. Start it up once a week for 10 min to keep battery charged, would recommend to anyone

Easy setup

Super easy . Put on the legs and wheels, add oil, connect fuel source and battery. Started right up. And it being a generator I predicted it would be very loud....not saying it is quiet but not bad at all from inside the house. It is heavy so you need to have someone help you or get some books to prop it up to get the legs and wheels on.

Should provide what we need

Haven't "needed" to use this in an outage as of yet (fortunately), but has great features, and functions seamlessly. Should provide much better power range compared to the 5000W unit we had before. Love the remote start! A little perplexed by the fact that despite putting the full amount of oil supplied into the unit, it still reads on the low side when checked as described?? Afraid to add more based on the precautions, but also don't want to run it low either...?
