Just purchased this generator, and of course the power goes out at 4 am , my husband and I decided to un pack and set it up with flash lights & a few battery operated lights , it didn't take long to set it up an hour & 1/2 max. It started right up , as soon as we got it running the power came back on . We decided to hook it up to the home anyway. Plugged it in , shut off the main to the home , switched the breaker for the gen. Boom it started right up with no problems. Great purchase . I'm sure it will get plenty of use.

I needed a larger generator; this one meets my needs and more. I like the dual fuel option and many other features. The fold-down handle makes it easier to move, as this is a heavy item. I actually recommended this one to a friend only to find he had already purchased the same one a few months ago. The only downside I have found is the noise level... it is rated at 74 dBA however it actually measures closer to 96 dBA.

This is my second Westinghouse portable generator. The first generator has worked flawlessly over the last 4 years and this larger, dual fuel generator appears to be even nicer, with many added features. It started right up out of the box (after adding oil) and everything tests out perfectly.

I received the generator during a blackout. It was easy to assemble and worked immediately on the first try - using propane. It has been running about 4 hours and have used about half of a 20lb tank of propane. So far it is performing above my expectations - It was on backorder for a while but I'm happy I didnt compromise and waited. The design is well thought out and easy to operate. The remote, funnel and tool kit are nice touches. Only two negatives - It arrived intact, but I was surprised at the packaging - it could have easily been damaged if not handled properly. Also, it is louder than anticipated. The spec is 73 db. From 50 ft away, my db meter averaged 83 db with a high of 87 db.

This purchase was quite reasonable for all what we got. We had an electrician put an outlet for a 50 amp hookup that was connected to our 200 amp breaker box. We ran the generator for 5 hours to break it in. Then we attached the 50 amp extension cord to the outlet box, turned off the main breaker and switched on the generator breaker. We turned on the TV, checked the refers and freezer and many other electronic devices and they all worked as if it was the actual electrical feed from the city input. We are very happy with our purchase. We would recommend this model to anyone who has a lot of electronic devices to run.

I’ve only run it for a couple hours so far, but as I inspected the unit during assembly, it is well built, and uses very good materials. The quick start documentation was excellent and easy to follow. The unit runs smooth and quiet. Only one minor detail was missing from the quick start: you do need to turn on the fuel shut-off valve that sits just under the gas tank.

Bought it for my dad and it is perfect! He’s thrilled as he lives about 200 miles away and is 90 - so, with Winter coming up, there isn’t the worry that he had before when he lost power. He said that it started right up and runs perfectly: Thank you Westinghouse employees and management: Great Job!

Wish I had this generator when the derecho hit us in Iowa in August. Looked for everything my old one was lacking and this one fit the bill. Just as quiet as my old 3500, and will run my whole house. Easy assembly, started right up. I'll be ready for the next derecho.

We bought this generator to replace an older, smaller one. And I'm glad we did. The ability to use dual fuel is so valuable in northwest Florida because of our susceptibility to hurricanes. It was well packed, and mostly assembled. We just had to put on the wheels and the leg stands. The instructions for getting it set up are simple and we had it ready to go on no time. I feel make more ready now that we have our dual fuel Westinghouse generator.

What a great product. Simple to operate, my daughter who is small can pull start it, the auto choke release is a great touch. First time I started it I filled it with fuel, turned the fuel shutoff on. Choked it and then pulled the recoil start 3 times to prime it and move some oil around. I turn the switch to ON, pulled the start rope again and it started right up. Didn't have to pull hard and fast, just a smooth pull. Then My daughter wanted to try starting it. I shut it off, turned it to on with no choke and she started it with no problem. We went over operating instructions so she felt sure of herself. (power always goes out when I'm not home) 2 days later the power company shut us down because of high winds. She rolled it out and put it on the pad by herself, started it and had everything running and powered up when I got home. BTW the generator out weighs her by 175lbs. So here is the pros & cons because that's what you are here for right. PROS: User Manual is complete - Assembly- is easy, duel fuel-is a plus, Electric start & remote start-perfect . Fold away handle. low noise level. gauges/meters. outlet covers. Under a load it barely makes a different sound. It is a great generator, the perfect addition to our home because of our power company turning off our power 4 to 5 times a month, (under windy conditions) Now the CONS, (which BTW I really am nitpicking here) Fuel tank could be bigger, some of the nuts that the feet screw into were not aligned and it made assembly a little difficult. That's it, all I can complain about. SO, would I recommend it, YES. Maybe not a generator you would want to load into the bed of a truck everyday, but if you did it would power every tool you have. I tested it with my wire feed welder and it never missed a beat. One last thing, My next door buddies gen wouldn't start so we ran cords over the wall. and this is what we powered: 4 fridges, 2 freezers, 3 lamps, 2 computers, Modems, Routers and my central heater, and a microwave oven a few times. The Generator never missed a beat. I am very happy with your product Westinghouse!
