Easy to use and worth the investment

Very easy to assemble and both the quick start & owners manual thorough and easy to understand. Haven't actually had to use it yet, but started right up using the push button start and ran effortlessly for over an hour. Looking forward to getting to use!

Great features runs quiet for size

I bought this to replace an 18 year old generator that still ran but wanted more power. First of the reviews for this series overall are impressive but the features ranging from the key fob to remote start to the duel fuel it is quite flexible. From an engineering standpoint it is sleek and functional and love the details from the folding handle to the wheels. I have tested but have not used but this is to power the house should we loose power and get at least one Air conditioner running if needed. This unit is larger than my old one but it is not nearly as loud. Love how quiet this is.

SO EASY TO SETUP

Purchased in June and received July 8th. Decided to go ahead and start up to make sure it worked. Put in gas and oil, pushed the Start button, automatically tried to start the generator, cycled twice and no start. I finally checked closer and the choke was not engaged. Corrected and pushed Start and....it started running. I love the push button start and the Key Fob Remote Start...it really works. I let it run about 15 minutes, shut it down, restarted it about 30 minutes later and it was so easy...just push the Start button or the button on the Key Fob and it started on the second try. Due to Covid-19, I am waiting on the electrician to get it installed to an outside 50 amp box which will connect it to my breaker box in the garage and will also have a special breaker installed so there will be a seamless transfer in case we have a power outage, which is likely since I live in Florida and we have hurricanes. I thoroughly researched generators for months because I have never owned one. This Westinghouse generator is highly rated and recommended. It is rated to run the house A/C as well as refrigerator, lights, etc. Will have to follow directions to properly used when I get everything installed.

So far so good

Have only run for the 5 hour break in period and then plugged into the 50 amp outlet for my house, but so far so good. Was easy to put together and hook up to propane. The remote and electric start are really nice. My only complaint is that the wheel is right under the 50amp outlet. With the size of the 50 amp cord it is really hard to plug it in with the wheel in the way.

Quality Product With Amazing Features

I recently went through a major storm in Central Texas that knocked power out for three days. This generator got my family through the storm and allowed us to continue on by powering our needs. Next step is to get a main panel interlock hookup installed for whole household power supply.

Runs good, steady power

Just brought it home went through the setup, instructions. Rolled it out of the garage and it would not start. Back in to figure it out; had spark no fuel so I manually set the choke and with the spark plug removed pulled the recoil start about 4 times. Put it back together and rolled it back out of the garage. It started right up and is going through its first 5 hour run with 4500 max load.

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.

Manufacture

I just received this generator and the setup to this durable machine is amazing. I live in FL and went through Hurricane Ian without a generator, and learned my lesson that one is very much needed. I have conducted research on Generators for weeks. I talked to several in store employees of Home Depot/Lowes, and friends who live up in the Northern States with harsh winters. Everyone pointed me to Westinghouse for how durable, long lasting and power that this generator does for backup in emergency situations. I am beyond pleased to have this for my family and I, in emergency situations for when they happen. Thanks to Westinghouse for this amazing product!

Much Needed For Texas!

Purchased just in time for Hurrican Season! Have had a 3500 watt size for years, and finally decided to step it up with this beast! The best part is I will either be able to power our house with the 50a plug, or run everything in my camper! So either way it is a big win for me!!!

Excellent Generator

Excellent product. Set up was easy and it started right up after adding oil and gas and connecting the battery. Had an electrician come out to install power inlet box to house circuit panel. This will make the generator work with your house circuits. The battery start system is great. I checked out the manual start and just like the Westinghouse video, it didn't take much effort and started in one pull! This generator powers the whole house. Main reason we bought this generator was that the last storm had our power out with no back up supply.
