I purchased to have on in case of emergency first time started with 2 pulls. It is a loud generator but that won't matter if there is a power outage. I like the little things like oil, funnel, and tools that come with it. Will try to update review once I get it hooked up to my transfer switches, and get some hours on it.

The only issue with the generator was that during the time I used it it revved up twice (surged). However, after turning the generator off and restarting it, this resolved. Overall, the generator is reliable. It got me through two hurricanes. I highly recommend it!

Packaged very well but easy to unpack. Very heavy so if you are a senior citizen I would recommend getting help unpacking and installing wheel kit. Put oil in generator, connected propane, turned choke on, turned switch on and generator started on like third pull. So for very pleased. Runs quieter than some the other brands my neighbors have. Definitely nice product. I bought it for home backup for power outages during storms etc. I feel confident it will meet my needs.

I researched generators when my last one failed after a storm. All reviews for generators on Consumer Reports and other comparison forums rated the Westinghouse highly and rated it generally quieter than competitors. I am expecting great performance and longevity from this product.

I purchased this generator after a recent power outage lasting three days. The unit appears to be well built. Assembly (wheels and feet) was quick and simple. I was impressed that this unit is dual fuel. I had never seen that before in a small generator. The only thing that I am unsure of is the 240 volt/120 volt selector switch. It appears that you cannot run a 120 volt item at the same time you run a 240 volt item. For example, I could not run my well pump and at the same time have a lamp on in the house. If this is the case, I can work around it. My well pump, hot water heater and stove are probably all the 240 volt that I would use. Probably would not use the dryer. And then I could only use one at a time. This unit was purchased as an emergency power generator to be used at my home during utility power outages. So, it may not get a lot of use. I have not actually run this unit yet but plan to do the one hour break in soon so that it will be ready to go should I need it.

This is my second Westinghouse generator. Both have performed flawlessly. It’s very easy to start and runs very quiet. I’m powering two 30 foot campers on my hunting property. I love the fact it is dual fuel. I recommend this generator to anyone that has a need for one.

Purchased this Generator through a local club and it came fast and was exactly as described. I had one minor issue with the delivery itself which ended up breaking the gas regulator hose plastic cap, so i called Westinghouse and spoke with a rep named, Corbett. He was very professional and resolved my issue promptly! I am a very satisfied customer.

After the debacle in Houston, I decided to purchase an additional generator. We did not know how long we were going to be without power and if our old generator failed we would be in a pickle. We also found it difficult to find gas, so that is why we purchased this generator that can also use propane. After reading all the good reviews we purchased this one. It came on time. And most importantly, started up right away and is much quieter than our other generator. Not looking forward to another hurricane, but feel better going into one even better prepared.

I bought this to use to power a few things in our home during a power outage. Really liked that it is dual fuel as I keep propane on hand. It came pretty well packed and in great condition. The 240 VAC output is one major selling point for me, so I can attached it to the house panel. Tried to run the unit on gasoline and then propane. Both worked well and the unit started on the 4th pull. I also really like that the handle and wheels were included, as they are extra on a lot of units this size. The only downsides I have so far is that the pull rope spring seems a bit weak. After I pulled to start the motor, I had to quickly let the rope go back into the motor or else I ended up with a lot of rope hanging out of the starter assembly. The other was that it was hard to change the display. I had to use a pencil to push the button in far enough to make contact and change the display. Minor issues to me as the unit performed well and ran pretty quietly too. I cannot beat the 3 year warranty too. Many units by other companies come with only 1 year. Lastly the price was a definite factor as I saved a lot of money.

Although I haven't had any emergencies (yet) I feel secure that I shall have electric power for heat, lights and refrigerators in the event of power grid failures. My one regret is that I should have gotten the 7,000 watts or even the 9,000 watts unit. However, this one seems efficient and economical to run. Oh yeah, it's dual fuel to boot. Great for me in a rural environment.
