disgusted customer

Long story short I was looking for a dual fuel generator for hurricane season. Our local sam’s had no stock In Houston. Closest available was in Amarillo. This is7/3/21 it spent a month in the garage till last week 8/24/21.Idecided to unpack it and due the break in and get it ready. 15 minutes in to the break in it started loading up like I drop a 40amp load on it. Went outside to check it. The geny only putting out 30v? Well I let it keep going for the rest of the break in period. It never recovered brushes were good,Connections were good. Only putting out on one phase. So I did not investigate any further pack it up and sent it back. My opinion the stator had a short. Returned an the ordered the wgen9500 Dual fuel $999.98

Here’s hoping

I bought this because I have moved to the Midwest. I am now experiencing what it’s like being subject to the power of nature. I can’t get this to run at all other than wide open choke. But I have hope that it can run and produce electricity even still

Great Features

I got this model because of the dual fuel options. Having ability to hook up propane has added a great feeling of security. I primarily purchased to run my mom’s oxygen condenser during outages. It’s perfect having that extra margin of available fuel.

Dual fuel and useful features

I bought this generator last week during an unexpected power outage caused by freezing weather. I had this up and running within 30 mins . Managed to save all the food in my two deep freezers and my refrigerator. I did not exceed the 50% capacity of the unit as I did not have time to correctly break the unit in. I alternated appliance usage and Generator performed flawlessly for the 12 + hours I had it on . It started easily and was not as loud as my much older generator. It is lighter and much easier to move around . It has convenient 30amp RV hook up so I can use it when I go camping too.

Concern about choke

Just bought and it took several pulls to get it started. After running it for a while every time l tried to turn choke down it started running rough. I hope this will remedy itself after break in time.Just tried generator and it works fine but still runs rough when I turn choke off.

Great features and easy to set up.

I Bought this Generator to replace a older, smaller, gas only Gen. This is a Very Nice generator that runs on gas or propane. I easily installed the wheel kit and Ran it for over one hour on Propane. It powers everything I will need for emergency in case of power outage.

Great features and ease of use.

Instructions were straightforward and assembly and preparation was quite easy. The main draw of this model was the dual fuel source as well as the high number of positive reviews. Maintenance is quite easy, and we are happy with how easily it starts.

This is a generator.

I haven't had an occasion to use it just yet, but it was easy to put together. It came with a cool little funnel thing for putting in the oil. It's nice to know that when the Trump supporters start wrecking more than the capitol, I'll have the ability to keep my insulin cool.

Very nice for the price!

After the 5th power outage in our area, and our basement flooding due to our sump pump not working during the power outage, we decided it was time to get a generator for emergency situations. So far, very pleased with this product. It will also come in handy when we are doing work that requires power tools on our horse farm (that has no electricity).

So far everything has been a piece of cake

I just went thru a storm that knocked out the power. Next day I couldn’t buy a generator. I order this Westinghouse dual fuel generator. It just got here Tuesday morning toke it out of the box, put the tires on filled with oil and gas and it started right up. Going thru break in cycle right now. Seems like a good unit so far
