Westinghouse Generator with Plenty of Power

Great portable home generator. Has the power to run the items needed after loss of power from hurricanes and tropical storms. Our electrician created an easy hookup for our generator with an interlock in the electrical panel to prevent potential damage to our electrical system when the power comes back on. Nice to have the choice of gasoline or propane. We use ethanol-Free gasoline to prevent gum-up in the carburetor and run the unit every 2 months. It comes with a quick disconnect for the battery when not in use. The remote start is also a nice feature.

Huge bang for the buck!

I bought this in September of 2020. Everyone that I know with a generator offered the same advice on what to buy...get as big as you can afford and the more outlet options the better. This one really shines in all of those. We have used it twice since we got it. It ran all night on a tank of gas and it ran 2 space heaters, multiple lights, TV/Satellite, and fridge without a whimper! The only negative I can think of is that it does make some noise. But the sound of no power is deafening. Another big plus is the dual fuel option. You never know when gas may not be available and your propane grill may save the day!

Great generator

I bought this about a month ago. The directions were simple to follow and it took about 30 minutes to get this unit assembled and running. Started on the first try and seems to be a quality unit. I am confident I will be ready for the next power outage.

Great Features and a few concerns

So I reviewed many Items and sites in an attempt to get a generator that would do it all. Many bonuses, including the Remote start and Dual fuel sold me. I waited a little while to add a review. One initial concern was that when running on generator My Tv and my work station would remain on Battery mode and not line mode. After reaching out, I was advised of the Info I needed to make needed adjustments. Issue was that the HTZ "Hertz" or maybe the THD was to High. I was able to Lower the Speed and change the HTZ and possibly the THD (No way for me to measure that output). Once I adjusted the HTZ from 63.5 to 61.0 the UPS Backup allowed power to charge and run the devices. I hope this helps others. If your needs do not exceed about 3800 Watts the more portable option with Low THD inverter they offer may be a better fit. I may also get that one to supplement my needs. Another thing is I used this a few Hours during the Texas FREEZE. It would not initially start. Pro Tip is that if temperature is very cold maybe 0 to 25F etc you may need to pre-warm Generator so that Fuel will ignite and oil will Flow. I used a small propane heater. Last tip. Be sure to use Four people to lift or a mechanical lift. I am still trying to overcome the pain from lifting the over 300 pounds. All being said I think this Generator will serve me well for many years ahead.

Great Generator

All the features needed in a portable generator at a very reasonable price. The wheel kit was very easy to install. After filling with the included oil and some gas the generator started right up. Checked the power output and the generator worked well. Hooked up the propane and switched the valve from gasoline to propane and the generator ran fine. Very satisfied with this generator.

Easy - Plug & Play

After moving into a new house and losing power for the first time, we bought this generator. All of our neighbors have generators so we expect to get a lot of usage. It was easy to unpack, mount the feet, and install the wheels. The provided funnel was easy to use while adding oil. Started right up for our initial test run. Pairing the remote start was a breeze. After shutting it down and going inside, with a push of the button it was started back up. We are ready for the next time power goes out.

Pretty Quiet and not made in China.

Fit and finish is really nice. Really good looking generator. This unit is quite a bit more quiet than my Champion generator with a similar sized engine. Westinghouse really did a nice job of not only muffling the exhaust but also somehow making the motor and alternator quieter. I dont have any decibel readings but it is noticeably quieter. I just received the generator a few days ago so I dont have much time on it but it fires right up and does what it is supposed too. Remote start is a nice treat. I would definitely recommend this generator.

Plentiful and Economical Power for Emergencies

I was very pleased at the unboxing of my new generator. Packing was excellent including moisture protection. Assembly took about five minutes. Seems very sturdy. Full size glossy maintenance and operations manual included. I'm delighted to be prepared for the next extended power outage, with the option to use LP Gas or Gasoline! (Civil defense box for power checked.) Research shows my fuel consumption will be acceptable with sufficient power to meet my winter and summer needs.

Easy Set-up

While I have not used the generator for its intended purpose as a power backup, the set up could not have been easier. After quickly installing the wheels and resting pads, all I had to do was add the oil, connect the battery and the propane before pushing the button on the key fob. It fired up immediately. I am also impressed that they include a battery charger that simply plugs into a port should you need to use it. Very impressed so far.
