Well packaged and easy to install wheels and mounting feet. Connected the battery cable and the battery charger. Filled it up with the included oil and filled gas tank. Then made sure the fuel selector was set for gas, turned the fuel valve on, turned battery switch to on and pushed the start button one time. The generator fired up, ran smoothly and wasn't as noisy as I thought it would be. Had looked at different generators and read all the reviews I could find. The Westinghouse just had all the features and great reviews and I am happy I chose it over the others. Only purchased this for power outages and will be having an electrician set it up for whole house power when needed. Been without power a couple of times before and decided this was a good investment to make.

I purchased the generator to provide emergency power to my home during inclement weather events that cause long term loss of power. It provides ample power to run the major necessities in my home. I like the electric start feature as well as the ability to run on gasoline or propane.

This portable generator arrived in good condition. It was easy to set up to run. The instructions were pretty clear. I did not have any issues with them. The unit is pretty heavy but once the wheels are installed it is easy to move around. I fired it up for the first time with out any issue. I used the included remote while standing next to the generator. It attempted to start initially but didn't and and then tried again on it's own and fired right up. I believe that it normal since there was no propane in the system. I did as mentioned run it on propane. I'll add my experience when I use gas. While it was running, I connected and used a corded electric chain saw with no problems. I'll update this review in a few months.

Great users manual, easy assembly. When I added the oil and attached an LPG tank, and connected the battery it start up instantly. This is large enough to power my home during emergency outages. We live in area where severe weather occurs several times a year which can cause extended power outages. The dual fuel gives me peace of mind knowing I will have the flexibility to power the generator during power outages during natural disasters. I am happy with the purchase and I have no doubt it will serve my future needs.

I purchased this item because I had seen it in operation at my son"s home. The generator was quieter, more fuel efficient, and remote control operated. I was most swayed to purchase the Westinghouse generator because of it's ability to function on either gasoline or propane. Gasoline after a regional upheaval such as a hurricane is not always readily available. The dual fuel capacity makes continued operation more likely during difficult conditions.

Bought this just at the beginning of hurricane season. Right out of the box, hooked it up to a propane tank & started it up. Purred like a kitten. Working on getting the electrical box replaced on this 50 year old house & getting the hook up set for the generator. It's a relief to have power backup, just in case! Peace of mind is priceless!

Purchased this generator because of 50 amp plug and the surge, running watts and dual fuel. When Helene hit Western NC, gas was hard to get. I like the propane run time. Just started it up and tried both fuel sources. Both worked great and 240 volt output. Easy to put it together and I liked the oil funnel. Great product at a great price.

I had read other reviews of this product before deciding to buy. I know that in the event of a power outage I will have more than enough power to keep comfortable. The only downside I can see, or should I say hear, is the amount of noise produced. It was advertised as being approximately as loud as a dishwasher. In reality it is closer to that of a gas powered pressure washer. I think this would probably annoy my neighbors at night but oh well, the loud all night parties they have in the summer months annoy me so it balances out. LOL!

I bought this ready for winter so I've only used it a couple times for testing purposes but so it's worked as expected. It takes a bit to get it started the first time and it's best to do that on gas rather than propane but once I get it started the first time it started easily after that. The remote start/stop is nice but since I need to pull it out of the garage and hook it up I probably won't need to us it that much. I bought this because it got good ratings, the wattage will power my whole house, the price is pretty good, my local small engine shop said they could repair the engine if needed and the fact it' so fuel efficient. It's not a quite generator but for the size it's about what I'd expect and I'm only using it for power outages during winter. Hopefully it will continue to run nicely when I really need it.

Decent generator, it was powering our house for around 6 hours and burned about 2/3 of the propane tank. Two caveats - it is a bit too noisy, and the power input was a bit uneven, so the APC UPS was constantly reporting distorted voltage and switched back to battery.
