Nice generator

Took delivery today. Followed the instructions and it fired right up. Let it break in a little using gasoline running 4500 watts continuous and around 4750 watts surge for over an hour and all is well. Oil level barely touched the bottom of the dipstick with single quart provided so I added more oil until the bottom of the hash on the dipstick was reached. Engine specs indicate 1.1 quarts, but it appears to need more. There is one indentation on the frame right on top that looks like it was that way at the factory before it was painted. Nothing to worry about in my opinion.

This is a nice unit

The box arrived without any dings and the generator itself was in perfect condition. The unit came with oil and a filler, spark plug wench, wrench for the legs, battery charger, propane hose and of course the wheels and front supports. Set up was easy and it started right up and ran the first time with no issues using the propane (I don't plan on using gas unless I have to). It's not quiet but I didn't expect it to be either. My only complaint is they only provide just enough oil to get it to the 'low' end of the stick. You'll need to add about another 1/3 quart of oil. Other than that, I'm very pleased with the unit so far. Oh, don't forget to push the GFCI buttons on the 110 outlets if they don't appear to work initially.

This Generator has everything my husband wanted!

Fast shipping, there was very little assembly required, sturdy, even has wheels and a pull out handle for easy moving, has everything my husband wanted in a generator for our home/family in case of emergencies like the one last February that left 12 of us in a tiny RV because it had propane for heat. My husband and I are glad we chose Westinghouse after researching other brands, it was rated one of the best.

Great Generator!

I am very impressed with this generator in its build quality and features. It comes with all you need to hook up propane, which I plan to use as an emergency backup in case of not having any fuel. Everything is built solid, and the electric start is a very nice thing to have. I haven't encountered bad weather yet, so I haven't tested it yet. However, I believe it will work well and keep my family safe.

This is the perfect generator

This purchase was made for my 83 year-old mom who lives in Florida, where hurricanes and power outages are an every-summer thing. Not only is it a good generator, but the pushbutton start is the perfect option for Mom. I'm also happy that it can run on either gas or propane. Very happy with this purchase and the bargain for the price.

Backup Generator

I just received this generator and the set up was very simple. The generator is a little heave and would recommend having 2 people to unpack. I hope I don’t need to use this as back up power for our house but if I need to we should be able to run almost the whole house.

Looks good so far

It looks like a great generator, but have not had a chance to use it yet. Only reason I did 4 stars instead of 5 is because several parts of the frame were chipped and scuffed when it arrived (must have been due to shipping I guess) and two of the threads for the rubber mounts on the bottom were stripped upon arrival. I had to re-tap the threads, which isn't a big deal but wasn't something I should have to do for a brand new product.

Works perfect out of the box

This generator was incredibly easy to set up, and worked the first try after following instructions. Provides plenty of power, runs smoothly and moderately quietly. And has remote start and stop which is a big plus. ery pleased with the price and performance - highly recommend.
