Exceeds Expectations!!!

When Hurricane Beryl hit, we were without power for over 5 days. This generator was our saving grace. Not only did it give us countless hours of power, it was so easy to get it started! Not to mention that gas was scarce so it's ability to use propane WORKED LIKE A CHARM. I definitely recommend this product to everybody.

First storm as a single female

I bought the duel fuel generator last month because a storm was heading in my direction. I thought I wasn’t going to have to use it until my lights went out. The setup was extremely easy, but when it came time to start it up I couldn’t according to the manual. However, I googled it and it started. I used the propane fuel and I most say there wasn’t any gasoline smell or a lot of noise coming from the unit. Also the propane ran for about 13 hours or so. Then at one point I thought someone tried to steal it because it was so quiet. I’m pleased to say that I’m satisfied with my purchase and look forward to using it again.

Great product

I bought a dual fuel generator a couple of weeks ago and I am glad that I did it. Very easy to assemble. Starts right up. The handle and wheels are very helpful. I had a chance to use it during our camping and I was impressed. It's less loud than my old generator!

Solid Purchase

Initial set up was easy. Quick start guide was simple to follow. Generator came mostly assembled. Only needed to add wheels and feet. Add oil and gas and she started right up. Not as noisy as I thought. Can't speak to durability yet, but so far, two thumbs up.

Best Price on the Market

Have not had a power outage yet but have tested it and it worked my fine. My only issue the unit would not start on propane only.... The issue which I found in troubleshooting, not in the starting instructions, states you need to burn off the gas in the fuel line before switching over to propane, this addressed the issue and the generator started up on propane.

Nice System

Purchased this about a month ago and used it the same day it arrived due to a 19 hour power outage. Timing couldn't have been better. I use propane and decided to use the pull start the first time. It started on the second pull. Very nice unit and decent price. Haven't tried the remote yet.

Great Features!

I bought this generator as back-up power for my house, we live in California which is the land of rolling blackouts. The 44 amp @ 120v is more than enough for my house. I plan on using the 240v to recharge my plug-in hybrid which helped me sell this purchase to my wife, haha. The 240v was totally unexpected and along with the Dual Fuel ability . . . definitely a win win! This is my first generator and the time to set-up was surprisingly short and very easy, thank you Westinghouse!

Starts right up

I purchased this earlier this year. Followed the break in process and haven't had to use it as we got it for emergency power loss. Just got hit with a bad storm and lost power and went and got it out and it fired up on the 3rd pull after sitting for several months. Been running our fridge and freezer as well as providing us with some power. Very happy with it.

Great Generator!

We bought this to replace an older and smaller generator. We love the electric start and the extra power this Westinghouse generator offers. It is also much quiter and smoother running. We use it for our RV and incase we lose power at home. Winter is coming and we feel sure that this generator will be ready when we need it. Thank you for a great product

I love it

Easy to use with 5 gallon propane tanks. Have not used with gas and do not plan to because gas is a gross mess. Arrived dented. The oil dipstick is cheap plastic, trying to find a metal dipstick with a magnet. Used the same motor oil I use in my SUVs: 5-30 Ultra Platinum and a few squirts of Hyperlube Zinc Replacement. Bought for backup in case the electricity goes out in the winter I can still run heaters and a stove top burner. The noise would be obnoxious though if running at night.
