Solid Generator

I bought this same model a year ago and decided to get another one because I liked it so much. Very easy to use and great features. I used the first one at my remote, off-grid cabin and it is great. I had to change the LP nozzle for the high altitude but the support team was very helpful. This one is staying at my home for emergency backup purposes.

Very pleased with purchase!

Just received my generator. Out of the box and running in minutes. Wheels and pads went on very easily. The funnel for the oil is very convenient. Started after a couple pulls. I haven't had the gen very long, but I think it is going to work out great.

Great Purchase

The main reason I chose this generator was because it had the dual fuel feature. I am very pleased with my purchase. It started right up on the propane fuel. I got it for farm use but like the fact that I could use it for my house in case of an outage.

Easy set up and Use.

I bought this yesterday because of a horrible wind and rain storm here in Maine. Multiply days with no power was forecasted. I have been through something similar and decided not this time. I was able to get it set up in running in a matter of minutes. It ran all night long and it continues to run, I have turned it off and checked oil and refilled gas but I am so pleased and it's easy for me to use. I am a single middle aged woman. Thank you for making it easy for me to use.

Easy Setup, Works Great

We were one day into the start of the worst power outage in our state in 25 years. I had installed a portable generator hookup two months earlier, but with a milder than usual start to the winter, I was in no rush to buy the generator for it. Fortunately, Sam's Club had just received a shipment of these generators, and I was able to get one before they sold out in less than 5 hours. Setup took about 30 minutes, and it plugged right into my generator hookup. It started up cold with just 3 pulls, and ran perfectly for 25 hours, when I shut it down to do the required first oil change. It started right back up and fortunately our power came back on a few hours later. I was able to save most of the food in my refrigerator and freezer, as well as use my CPAP, so I could get some much needed sleep. I may get a larger generator with a remote start later, and it will most likely be another Westinghouse.

Just what I was looking for...

Very fine piece of machinery. Started up with the first pull. Not too loud, but I really like the dual fuel flexibility this generator offers. I'm not quite looking forward to my next episode of an electrical outage, but at least now I'm confident I will be able to maintain my home with the power from this generator.

Easy Set Up Multiple Options

Purchased this generator due to multiple power outages. Unit was easy to setup and had this unit running in about 30 minutes. I chose the gasoline options, but this unit provides for both gasoline and propane. Sufficient power to run multiple units including freezer, refrigerator and most importantly my CPAP unit. Very pleased with this purchase.

seems to work, but it's extremely hard to start

I just bought this generator brand new. followed all of the instructions, filled with the supplied oil and attached my propane tank. I could not get it to start after over 50 hard pulls of the cord and changing the choke settings and verifying the switches, re-reading the manual a dozen times. then I filled it with brand new gasoline, switched the settings to gas and still had a lot of difficulties to start it, but luckily it started after about 30 hard pulls and changing the choke settings. the next day, I tried again and once again, it took about 20 hard pulls and it only starts with the choke on, which is different than what the manual says. I am praying that this generator will start when I actually need it.
