Easy start-up, and assembly

Fast delivery, I bought this generator on Saturday and it came today (Tuesday). There was very little setup, just needed to install the padded feet, and the two wheels that were provided. After that I used the funnel to add the the oil that was also provided, went to the garage and grabbed some ethanol free gas I had laying around and started it up. Took 5 pulls and she was up and running. Let it run for about 15mins to break her in. Couldn’t have gone smoother.

Absolutely AWESOME!

Love this generator! Absolute beast! A must have as a back-up power source, just in-case the worst case scenario happens, even for black outs during the hot summer months, or a bad rain storm knocks out the power for a day or two, which never ever happened yet, living in Brooklyn New York City, but hey you never know! Heard things like someone attacking our infrastructure, this is a must have! It runs great, quite and always have power an extra tool or appliance!

Easy Set up

During an extended power outage, my single fuel generator wouldn't start due to a fouled carburetor. We selected the Duel Fuel Westinghouse Generator and it started right up on propane. Cleaner burning fuel and easy maintenance. I'll probably only run it on propane, but really like having the option. Great product!!

Excellent Out The Box

We had been hit with some wild weather in NC and decided to get a generator just in case. We put it together, easy assembly, may need assistance for weight to put wheels on. Took a couple times watching a video on YouTube to start it, but once we got it down, it's easy! Was easy to begin with! Started with one pull! Got the dual fuel! Not very loud either!

Great generator. Smooth start and super quiet!

Great price for a feature packed generator! I don't even miss the electric start. Without an expensive ATS and a trickle charger being on your SLA battery 24x7, an electirc start gen is a waste of money! Love it! Westinghouse is an American company stooped deep in innovative history.

Does what I need it to do

I bought this generator to replace two other generators I had. Getting old takes a toll on RV campers. My old generators were pull start and didn't always start right away. Many pulls later I might get it started and have an aching back. My wife can't start it at all and wishes she could start it to run the microwave when I was away fishing. So having an electric start solved those problems. ADDING a remote start with that, means she doesn't even have to leave the RV to start it to run the AC or the microwave. At 64 dB the sound level is a bit higher than my old generator. My Honda 5000w pull start was around 56db. My 2000w generator was so quiet but couldn't run the microwave well. It was ok for charging the batteries running lights. I replaced it with 100w solar panels and batteries. Still, the solar charging system I have can't run the microwave or the AC when I want it. My plan is to mount it on a etrailer RV bumper shelf and there it will live during the summer season. It's too heavy for me and my wife to move at 135lbs. So I'm running it in for 5 hours with the AC at 2000w which is less than the max 2600 recommended for burn it in or <50% max rating. Changing it from AC to fan every 30 min or so to vary the load as recommended in the user manual. So far so good. I'm running it on propane with is what I'll like use most of the time cause I don't like having my fuel go bad or rust out the gas tank and plug up the fuel lines. I forgot to drain my gas last time I used the 5k generator and it made a mess in the tank and cost me $200 to repair it. Plugged the carburetor and all the fuel filters with rust. Had I sent it to the shop it would've cost me twice that. I was even using Stabilize to protect it but it was 2 years since I last used it. Next time I have to use gas I'll empty it like the owner manual recommends. It nice to have gas as an that option in a pinch. Other the the weight I'm happy with my choice. I was thinking of designing a portable lift or buying one of those motor cycle lifts to store it for the off season. Maybe I can start weight lifting... ;) or not!

Smaller than expected

The only bad thing i have found so far is both of the blue covers (alternator and pull cord) definitely get beat up during packaging. the box looked perfect but both have some dents and paint chipping. other than that it's smaller than i expected and meets all of my requirements. if i have issues i'll update my review, but the setup was easy.

Excellent generator with tons of power low price!

Excellent generator with tons of power low price! We just bought it and got it set up, which is super easy, by the way. It’s a little louder than I was expecting but 15 ft away from our camper in the open woods, its not so bad, just closer to buildings and structures. Starts easy, runs solid. Happy with our purchase!

Great so far

Bought this last year but haven’t need to use it. We get it out last month and got it ready to use when we had a big storm coming in. Storm wasn’t as bad as expected so still haven’t needed to use it. But easy to assemble, started right up. Only used with gas so far. A bit loud but that was expected with its size.

Seems to work fine

I needed a 240v generator to connect to my house's new transfer switch. While I haven't used it in an actual power outage yet, it fires right up on both gas and propane and seems to work just fine. No problem powering the 6 circuits on my transfer switch (furnace, fridge, sump pump, and a few less critical circuits around the house).
