Runs very well after you turn the fuel on

It was pretty funny cause it wasn’t starting and wasn’t starting and then we finally found the fuel switch and once it got turned on BOOM!! It cranked right over. It lowers the trailer good. We haven’t used it as a back up for our house yet but I’m sure it’ll run the basics for that just fine.

Great so far!

I bought this unit during a recent power outage. This one was the perfect size and offered the dual fuel option, which is critical for my purposes. I have so far put 30 hours on it and it has run flawlessly. I am only using propane at this time, but it was very easy to start and provided adequate power for all the items I needed to run. I got around 10-12 hours on a typical 20lb grill tank.

So far so good

I havent tested it under a load yet, but my first concern of hard starting (since there is no electric start). was a non issue, it starts in 1 pull, and easily. Its not terribly loud either. I will update the review if anything changes. Had to write a review to get my free cover, so thats why I havent load-tested yet. tested on gas only.

Nice features and good price

Decided to go with this generator since It had the dual fuel option, along with wheel kit and good power output for the price. Assembled the wheels and feet and ran through first hour of use with no load today and have no complaints. Noise level was manageable. Also like the simple fuel gauge that came with it. Also the hour meter was a great bonus over some of the others I was comparing. So far very happy with my purchase.

Easy to handle

I was intimidated at first in operating a generator but this Westinghouse generator was easy to use. I like the features that is has in informing you when an oil change is needed and the maintenance log that comes with it. I am confident it will do the job when the need arises. Great price for a dual generator!

Runs amazing

I bought it today and it fired right up and ran amazing. We were out of power and it made our life way easier. The packaging and stuff that came with it was awesome too. Generators don’t usually come with a little tool bag and kit. We love our generator

Great Value, Features, and Reviews!

Purchased just a few days ago; needed for remote power on the ranch; tools, welder, etc. Started with just a few pulls; propane, have not fueled with gas yet. Only used so far to power small appliances to fulfill "Break in period" before actually putting into the field. My initial impressions are: Appears well built, nicely organized control panel, minimal/easy assembly, easy start, and of course portable. So, at this point I have no significant complaints; base on other reviews, hoping to keep it that way! With that said, just one very minor gripe. It would be nice if the break in period could be performed at the factory under ideal/controlled conditions so the Gen. Set would be ready right out of the box!

Great size for my needs

I bought this last month because an ice storm was coming and I wanted a power backup if the electricity went off. That didn't happen but I have tested it and it works great. I also needed a generator over 4 000 running watts to run a small welder and this was just the right size for me. I would recommend this item.

Just turned it on

So far so good. The generator had been sitting in my garage for almost a year now. I really like that it’s dual fuel. Have been using propane so that I won’t have to empty the tank for storage. I also like that it has the starting instructions on top of the tank.

Motor vibrates

Bought this for when our power goes out. Started it to make sure it ran and when I cranked it up the motor vibrated the entire time it was in idle. When it was put into throttle it smoothed out some. This was while it was hooked up to propane. I have not tested it with gas yet.
