Backup Generator

After the debacle in Houston, I decided to purchase an additional generator. We did not know how long we were going to be without power and if our old generator failed we would be in a pickle. We also found it difficult to find gas, so that is why we purchased this generator that can also use propane. After reading all the good reviews we purchased this one. It came on time. And most importantly, started up right away and is much quieter than our other generator. Not looking forward to another hurricane, but feel better going into one even better prepared.

great, easy to use

Wanted to upgrade, so just purchased this recently after some research and finding it to be highly rated. Only for a couple of hours, but literally the very next day the power went out. Had already set it up the day before so fired it up, plugged it in and worked like a champ. Much quieter also, than the dinosaur I had before. So far, very happy with it.

High quality and great value

Had stored brand new in box since 2021 until a bad storm not too long ago. Was a dream to run as far as power and ease went. Especially since I used propane. Plenty of power, maybe too much for ALOT of people's needs but that also created versatility, either way Westinghouse has a generator that will suit your needs very affordably and efficiently.

Easy set-up. Easy and Clean Start-up.

I just bought this for a potential hurricane coming our way. Brought it home and was able to get it put together and cranked over in less than 20 minutes. Start it up perfectly runs very smooth and so far we are very happy with it. If and when we need it, I will come back and add to this review.

Easy to put it together and get started

I bought this because of the great reviews and cost. Have several friends that bought other brands and they are not satisfied. I have only used it once so far but it was easy to get going. I would like it better if it had an extension bar to pull/roll it where I need to station it. It's also a great size for small storage areas. Very satisfied. I already recommended it to a co-worker and her husband really likes it too.

First Generator

Easy setup for first time generator owner. Nice user manual. Appears to be very well constructed. It was well packaged with all listed accessories. Compact design and will be relatively easy to roll in and out of storage awaiting our next hurricane and/or winter ice storm power outage.

duel fuel generator

I received and unpacked it. It seems very well built. I put oil in which was made easy by funnel provided, put on wheels which was also very easy. Put on feet which was made easier with welded on nuts. Came with everything to use Lp but the Tank! smaller than I thought it would be but that is a plus. Moves around easily and handle pushes down for more space for storage. I bought this because of the duel fuel capability because the one I have isn't.

Easy setup. Easy start up

Just bought this unit for those unexpected outages due to storms in the spring. Set it up and had it running in less than 20 minutes. Started on the 1st pull. Plugged in some tools to make sure it worked and it didn’t phase it. Ran like a champ.

Works as expected

I bought this generator before a hurricane and used it for about 10 hours while our power was out. Easy to setup and start. Only ran refrigerator, television and a few lights so I can’t really comment on how it works under heavy load. Used about 3/4 of a 20lb lp gas tank
