Easy to use, dual fuel is great!

I bought this in 2020. There was a recall initially but the company took care of everything and ended up sending me a brand new unit. This unit is incredible. Use gas or LP and the ease of switching between sources is a major plus. The unit is quiet (for a generator) and gives enough power for whatever you need. Great purchase!

Great Value and Duel Fuel is a Plus

I recently purchased my Westinghouse Generator and was very pleased with the value, ease of set up, quick start up, and the ease for being able to transport it as well. The duel fuel capability also is a nice convenient feature. Quality product and good craftsmanship from what I can see right out of the box.

Easy to setup!

I am impressed with how well the user manual was made. Very informative! The instructions are easy to follow. Also, the generator itself is exactly as detailed in its description. I think we will enjoy using this to run our sump pump when the power goes out.

Well built!

We just purchased this generator for our new RV! After the last snow storm we just had I thought it would be a good idea to have one, just in case! Glad we did! It's very well put together and easy to set up! I was amazed at how quiet it is compared to other generators in the park! I think we made a good purchase! TY!

Easy to set up

We bought this right before Christmas and got it set up. Thankfully we did not have to use it, but we were forecast for tornadoes in Iowa in December which is highly unusual. In addition to not being able to go without heat We had a freezer and refrigerator full of food that we could not afford to lose.

Best value, easy to use, comes with everything

I am looking for a portable to power just a few essential items in case there is a power outage so a 4K-5K wattage portable generator works for that purpose. I did my research, and this make and model offers the best value. I like it that it comes complete with wheel kit and propane regulator and tubing/connector. Well packaged. Took it out of box, installed legs and wheels, connected propane tank, and fired it right up. 3 year warranty. Offers L14-30R 120/240V. The oil funnel is a little messy and can use improved design but that's just a small nuisance. Would be nice to include the noise db level, engine oil capacity, etc in the specs. Very happy with my purchase.

Nicely packaged generator with plenty of power.

Just bought it and tested it for the first time. Started right up. The reason I bought this model was that it was dual fuel and does not require having gasoline stored for long periods of time. It also has sufficient power to backup all my fridges and freezer, easily. I didn't see the same power model in electric start but this one starts easily with a pull. I would call it intermediate in size. It moves easily on it's wheels and 2 people can lift it into a truck if necessary. I would recommend it for someone interested in a mid priced but yet powerful dual fuel generator.

Great price and performance

I have not had to use it in the event of a power outage (thankfully), but, I fired the generator up and ran my air compressor and other items no problem. I love the fact that it can run on propane, and I will not have to worry about in the even of needing it, having gasoline that has expired.
