Nice features

Only had the generator a short time but, I like the fact that it's dual fuel, has the RV receptacle, and is relatively small for the capabilities it offers. It's a nice-looking unit and started with three pulls out of the box using propane. Time will tell, but pretty happy with it so far!

Very pleased

After my purchase it only took ten minutes to add the feet, wheels and add the oil. I added some gasoline and connected the propane tank. Following the start up instructions I was quite surprised to see it start on the very first pull of the starter rope.

Very thoughtful

provides all tools needed., full assembled save the wheels and bumpers. assembly takes less than five mins. includes oil. The carb comes with a drain, and instructions tell you to drain for long interval storage, this is very good advice, that if followed, would lead to very reliable carbureted engines.

So far so good

I am a 30 year old woman and decided I wanted to be more prepared in case of an emergency. My dad helped me unbox and start this for the first time. I was nervous, but after doing it all once I feel comfortable enough with it now. I feel like I could get it started on my own when the time comes. It started up easily and quickly as expected. Instructions were clear and it came with the oil it requires. It also provided a maintenance schedule which I though was helpful. It's heavy, but the wheels help with that. No complaints so far.

Can run overnight on a gas fill up

I purchased this to use after Hurricane Ian this month. Was very happy that it ran on propane and gas. I wasn't sure what fuel I would be able to get. It also was able to run overnight on one filling of gas. We could watch tv, power our CPAP machines and the refrigerator and lights without waking up in the night because my CPAP machine stopped working.

Dual fuel system

After losing power several times this year and the fact that you never know what might happen and how long power may be off , I decided to purchase a generator. There’s was some damage to alternator cover and to frame ,but started on second pull. Not sure how much use I’ll need, but will have it when needed.

good beginer's generator for RV fun!

Good product, except for the leak on the bottom of the carburetor, the membrane on the needle from the fuel selector handle mechanism is faulty, it leaks gas, I was able to fix it, It works perfect. I am happy with it. It provides good power to my RV A/C and refrigerator with no issues.

Solid Product

I have been shopping for a dual fuel generator at a reasonable price and found the perfect product at a price which was very competitive. Told my brother about my purchase and I believe he intends to buy one. Assembly was simple and the unit started up on the second pull using propane gas. I feel very confident this generator will meet my electrical needs if ever the power is down. Having dual fuels leaves me with the availability of getting some fuel in a crisis.

Easy assembly and start.

As a Women Business owner with no experience in Generators I feel amazed of how easy assembly was and to start the generator. I followed the instructions on the how to start and didn’t have any trouble doing it my self. It is heavy for me to lift but thanks to the wheels I can pull or push it anywhere I want. Thank you for this amazing product

Great generator. Smooth start and super quiet!

Great price for a feature packed generator! I don't even miss the electric start. Without an expensive ATS and a trickle charger being on your SLA battery 24x7, an electirc start gen is a waste of money! Love it! Westinghouse is an American company stooped deep in innovative history.
