Generator - Terrific!!

We bought this product several months ago and it has never l Let me down I!!!!! My husband is on the road a lot and I am able to use the pull start on my own...old lady-ish and all!! lol The peace of mind I have now is so reassuring, especially when I'm home alone. We live in an RV and the power goes out quite often, unfortunately. Thank you Westinghouse!! I will be purchasing an upgrade from you!!

Great generator

I purchased this generator to provide power during natural emergencies, work in remote locations and as backup for my RV. Set up took less than 10 minutes and generator started right up. Tested in my garage to power up 2 portable heaters, refrigerator and air compressor with no issues whatsoever. I love the fact that this model supports both gasoline and propane. Switching is easy and helps in prolonging power availability. I would highly recommend this generator and I am totally satisfied with this purchase as a good value.

5300W dual fuel

Had been looking for months for a backup generator for our solar system. So far it is performing great. Right out of box put oil and gas in, cranked right up. Switched over to propane for the 1 hour run in, ran great and was surprised at small amount of fuel used. Was concerned about how it might run because we are at 8200 feet elevation. Did well under load. Have ordered high elevation kits. Really like the dual fuel aspect.

Great generator for the price!

We bought this during an ice storm when we lost power for a few days. We were surprised that this was in stock at the time and snatched one up. We immediately brought it home and set it up in no time at all. We were able to plug in our two refrigerators, a freezer, portable heater, electric blanket, some lamps, etc. Worked perfectly! We ran ours with propane, although gas can be used with an easy switch. We will look into hooking it up to our main breaker for future use. Highly recommend!!

Ample power

Lost power for 24 hours. Had bought the generator ahead of time. Was able to plug my furnace fan and lights into it and keep the house toasty and well lit. Just for curiosity I plugged my 220 shop heater into it and it handled it just fine. Runs fairly quiet, I am quite happy with this generator. Might even take it camping with me.

Efficient and Pleased

Very easy to use. One recommendation would be to change location where the oil is drained. Maybe move the plug to a easier and accessible location. Got a couple of cuts (big hands)... other than that, lasted 12 hrs before a refill. Worked for 2 Window units (10k & 8k BTU,) full fridgerator, 2 TVs, Xbox, laptop, and cell phones all at once.

Well made

I purchased this for occasional power outages. The next day we had a snow storm 7 inches of snow the power went out. I used it for lights, tv, to keep the refrigerator running and the deep freezer cold and all The contents of the freezer stayed frozen. I even went around to my neighbors and charge their refrigerators up in a deep freezer so they would not lose any food

Not much time with it yet

Given the issues in the world today, along with the old electric company wiring in the area, I thought a generator was a good idea. While I have not run it under anything but break-in time conditions, it seemed to handle the hairdryer and space heater without issue. I am looking forward to not worrying about power outages. I am happy to update once I have used it under the conditions for which it was purchased.

Powerful and Reliable

It took me 10 minutes to install the wheels and "legs" which made it very easy to move. This is not a tiny generator, it is a mid-size and lifting it is really a two person job so the wheels are essential. The generator started up easily and I love the options to connect to a transfer switch, RV or to an ordinary extension cord. The dual fuel option makes this such a great value. It's an item I don't want to have to use, but I'm so happy with I found this gem.

Westinghouse was the right one for me

The package and instructions were easy and I had it running in a few minutes. I only used the propane option which was very easy to set up. My only questions was about how much oil to add. It would have been helpful for the capacity to have been listed. Other than that, set up was so simple. I thought the noise level was good too.
