Backup power for all I need

Easy assembly, a bit heavy but not unmanageable, definitely not portable though. One note on assembly, add the oil very slowly otherwise you'll spill it. I was finally able to get an interlock switch installed on my house and I should be able to run everything I need. It is loud but half of that is mechanical noise from the engine. It'll be running on propane so I'll have to alternate between, oven, dryer, and AC units but I can live with that during a total blackout like Texas had in February. Even if I never use it for a blackout it is worth the price for peace of mind.

Awesome Features

I have been looking everywhere for a fair priced and overall good generator with positive results. I have finally found it with this one! We have a propane tank for heat and the option of the dual-fuel is great. Our power goes out too often where we are. The benefit of being able to power 90% of the house, is gonna save us big time. Kinda wanting the power to go out to fully test this beast!

Built Solid

I bought this at the end of last years hurricane season and just broke it in for the next one. I've run it for about 3 hours on propane in my break-in cycle and changed the oil a couple of times. The only assembly was attaching the wheels and feet which only took a couple of minutes. I took the spark plug off to put a bit of oil in so I didn't dry start and that was easy. I also changed the oil a few times inbetween cycles which was also easy. Started right up the first time each time. Your not going to fit a standard oil pan under it and it is a bit to heavy to lift for an oil change. I just used a small rectangular piece of Tupperware that was looking rank anyway and it worked great.

Well built unit!

If your looking for a well built, nicely constructed unit, This is For you.. Large enough to supply power for running most everything in a home within reason . I picked the dual fuel as you never know where you'll find fuel during an outage.. I also bought this for its sound rating over other units.. The ability to self start with an ST unit is an excellent exclusive of this brand.. This is not my first Generator nor my first WestingHouse product.. Nice Job!!

What we need for mountain living!

We lose power several times a year, most often in the Winter. Having a well we have talked for years about getting a generator that can provide us water in those times, in addition to powering more than a light, cable, and a TV. So looking forward to face these power outages head-on, and this generator will be more than enough.

Excellent bang for the buck

This is a great choice for anyone with occasional power loss (for us, 5-6 times a year), needing to power the essentials. We're adding a transfer switch soon to connect it more fully to the house when needed. This option is a nice middle ground rather than much more expensive permanently installed units (which doesn't make much economic sense for people without frequent / extreme power loss). Dual fuel is also a great addition, as we almost always have one or the other in storage.

Easy Setup

I bought this generator a month ago. Setup and assembly were a breeze. I can't speak to the long term durability of this unit, yet. However, the build quality is excellent and I love to the push to start. I have not been yet been able to shut the generator off using push to start/stop button.

Easy to get up and running.

As expected a little heavy to remove from box and roll over for wheel/feet installation but literally no more than 5 minutes assembly. Battery came fully charged. Started up on propane immediately and on gas on second try. So far seems like very good quality. Time will tell.

Got Propane?

Purchased six weeks ago and runs on dual fuel, propane & gas. For me, the propane is easy and cleaner. The sacrifice of a little power is worth not having to mess with gasoline. Been through one storm down in the single digits for 7 days. We are now ready if and when we lose power.

So easy to set up and use

I haven't really had to use it yet but was very pleased with the easy set up. It took me longer to cut up the cardboard for the recycle bin then to set it up. I also was concerned it would be too heavy but it is easy to roll around on the wheels with the handle.
