Great Concept, poor execution

Love the concept of it worked. Started hard when I first got it home, but figured out it had to be manually choked and crank over about a dozen times to start. Then less than a year later it has electrical issues and will not even turn over. Will see how good the warranty service is.

Easy starting and powerful

This generator took about 10 minutes to put together, put in oil, and it started right up! Love the dual fuel option, I plan to use primarily propane, so the fuel doesn't go stale between uses. I hooked it up to our home panel thru a dedicated 50amp breaker, and it powered up our entire house! ( I left the water heater breaker off because of it's high draw) Very nice generator! Packed well with no damage.

Great generator

I bought this to use as a back up power source for my 5th Wheel camper. It is powerful enough to run the whole camper in the event of a power outage or when boondockiing. Easy assembly and detailed instructions. The remote start key fob was easy to pair and Set up. Very nice generator with good feature's Easy to move around and the dual fuel option is a plus.

Well built, great layout, easy to service!!

Been testing it for a month now in prep for the 2024 storm season in FLA. Started first time on the pull starter and both the electric start and the key fob remote also worked first time. Electrical output is clean and consistent on the DVO meter readinga. Have yet to try the dual fuel feature but very pleased with the performance of the unit thus far. Service points are easy to access and the consumable parts are easy to source. I especially like the spec sheet/quick reference chart that comes with the unit. The compact footprint, solid wheels and easy stow handle make tucking it away for storage easy. We feel very prepared for this year's storm season.

Easy to assemble

Directions were clear, easy to assemble. Filled the fluids and it started right up. I haven't had to use it to run the house yet, but my friend is an electrician and said it should be fine, size-wise, to run my small house when the power's out. So far, so good!

Amazing machine!

This replaced a different brand generator that I had all kinds of problems with. I am so impressed with the build quality of this machine along with all the extra options it comes standard with. The battery tender and remote start are game changers. Upon starting it up the sound level is so much quieter than my old one I was blown away! You won't regret this generator.

Easy setup, Great machine.

Bought last January after a power outage. Just set it up for an expected winter storm since you can't trust the grid around here in cold weather. Works great. Very easy setup. Would definitely recommend to others. There is probably nothing that it can't handle. Thanks, Westinghouse!

Well built power unit

We bought this unit after hurricane Helene caused us to be without electricity for two weeks. We only had this unit two days before power was restored, but it was more powerful and quieter than the generator we borrowed. This unit is well built and was very easy to assemble and start running. The duel fuel is very helpful to keep power going for a long time uninterrupted. I have recommended this unit to my friends and am in the process of installing a 50 amp plug to tie into my electrical panel.

Great Generator

Bought this generator as a home power backup during hurricane season. This is one of the few generators that I found with a 50amp circuit. The panel layout is great. The trickle charge feature is a great option. I keep it plugged in all the time. Overall, it is super-simple to operate and very well built. No issues so far and don't really expect any in the future.
