Good Generator for the price

I've used this once during a power outage so far. It is powerful enough to run what I need it too during an outage and I like the duel fuel feature so I can run it off of a 100lbs propane tank. Very nice little generator for the price. Can certainly tell when my well pump kicks on, bogs it down momentarily with the high surge watts needed to power the pump.

Easy to use power

Bought this for the inevitable power outage that gets us when least expected. Now that I have this generator at the ready, there has been no power outage in my area....but I am ready for when there is. After filling the oil,, it starts and runs easy enough, but that is all I have done so far.

My first generator

Just bought this and am overall impressed with it. It's my first generator ever and it looks to be very good quality. Westinghouse had been around a while and that's one reason i got it. Plus almost all the reviews were great. Can't wait to use it when i need it!

Easiest tool I’ve ever owned.

I bought this for the house in case of an ice storm, power outage, etc. Recently I bought a travel trailer. I decided to hook it up and try it out with the trailer. It worked like a charm! We are going to take it with us in case we need to stop where there are no hookups. It runs the whole camper with ease! I also like that it runs on gas or propane! What a great investment!!

Good features for price

Have only run for an hour so far, but easy to assemble and run. The included oil funnel is terrible, recommend using an automatic transmission type funnel. Unit is louder than anticipated but will help to remind you to keep it an appropriate distance from home or tent to avoid exhaust fumes. Test run on propane with no load used about 1lb. propane for an hour.

Value Packed, Brand Name!

Bought this unit last week and took it out camping and what a joy it was to not have to limit the use of power hungry accessories...and children! We were all able to keep our PAD's running along with all appliances, which we couldn't do with our last unit.

Great Value

Bought this yesterday as a backup for the freeze expected in South Louisiana. Purchased this model due to the great reviews. It was a good price and offered gas/propane sources. It will also be used to power the Living Quarters in my daughter’s horse trailer. Easy to get set up and get running. I hope I don’t have to use it for the freeze but have peace of mind just in case I do have to use it.

Great amount of running watts for its size.

I bought my unit back in November but have not had a chance to use it yet. I guess that's not a bad thing though. I did fill with oil and run for an hour and WIFE was surprised how quite it was. I wasn't far from the patio doors probably less than 15 feet and didn't have to change the volume on TV show we were watching. I would definitely recommend this product.

First time with a generator; easy to setup and use

Just purchased this product for the upcoming hurricane season. I have not had one before, as I just moved to Florida and was not sure how to set this up or how to use. Instructions for setup were easy to follow. Had the wheels and leg bumpers installed in about 10 minutes. The unit moves around easily. Setup for oil and fuel (both gas and propane, which is why I bought this one) are easy as well. Not complicated to use.
