This generator is a great one to have. I purchased this almost a year ago or maybe more to actually take to my RV by the beach. Living in hurricane prone area prompted the first purchase of a generator over 25 years ago. Stayed in garage on top of my large generator that has 2 flat tires. Being a little ol’ lady, moving the big generator was not going to happen. Wheels on this one are the never flat type. The same will be going on the big generator soon. But back to the program. I just experienced a heck of a storm on 05/16. No power for 5 days. So out comes this baby. Wheeled it to the back yard. Plugged in the house. Presto! Power, not strong enough to run central A/C, but ran the portable A/C just fine. Along with my 2 freezers and 2 refrigerators. Even able to do laundry and run my coffee machine. All at the same time! It ran for almost 9 hours on 4.7 gallons of high octane gas. On standby I had two 20lb propane tanks. For the “just in case” I did not feel like getting more fuel. I am so very happy with this purchase. Very efficient and easy to start. Even for a little old lady like me. P.s. just remember to turn off the petcock valve to ensure all fuel runs out of the generator and to always treat your fuel with a stabilizer for storage. Start your generator at least once a year to ensure its there for you when in need.

We bought the generator during a power outage at our home. We took the unit out of the box, put gas and oil in it and had power to our house in just a few minutes. The unit stared the first pull of the cord. I am very pleased with our purchase. Westing house has the best products!

I set it up, followed instructions, pulled the cord and it started on gasoline. Turned it off, attached propane and it started right up on propane. Plugged in tool and it worked great. Glad to have it. Wish the wheel kit was in the box as advertised.

I bought this generator right after a tornado and straight line winds snapped power poles and trees. I lost power for a while and had to use this generator to power my stores freezers, fridge, few lights, cash register, credit card machine, ice box and small window ac unit. Worked great. Love the option to choose to run on either gas or propane! Would definitely purchase another one!

I've had this for a month and wanted to give it chance to operate during a power outage. But, no outage . I did run it during the installation powering up my house. Mind you that I didn't run everything in the house. Just the necessary things needed during a power outage. I've run it on both LPG and gasoline. Starts easy on either fuel. Instructions are easy to use and the included oil and funnel are a plus.

Bought a month ago and it works fine. Have not tried running it on propane yet. Reason I didn’t give a five star rating was because the way the oil drainage system is designed. 1 it is very difficult to drain with out getting oil on it and you must tip it to the side to drain all the oil out. The funnel needs to be several inches longer in order keep from becoming a mess while adding the oil. I’m my opinion they should have provided a box end wrench rather than the open end style to make removal of the over tightened drain plug. So other than that it’s serving it’s purpose well so far.

This generator was very easy to assemble the few required pieces such as the legs and wheels. The overall appearance of this model is very nice. It has sufficient outlets for most needs and applications. It can be configured for standard 110 voltage and two outlets for 220 volt applications either 3 or 4 plug. The choke settings are easy to read. The fuel settings are simple and easy to understand. The power switch is easy to use as well as the voltage selector for either 110 or 220 volts. It is a good medium duty generator in terms of the wattage and amperage produced 5300 watts and 30 amps. It is sufficient enough to power my whole house for the most essential items such as my furnace, refrigerator and some small appliances, the most important being my COFFEE MAKER and some lighting applications. I intentionally pushed the unit and the fuses operated properly. The carbon monoxide alert is a nice feature and functioned properly when I tested the generator in my garden shed. The folding design of the handle to move the unit is far superior to other designs. It has two mounts on both sides of the frame and the handle folds neatly down. The only minor downsides are the system display and adding oil. It would have been nice if the generator oil capacity was a full quart instead of approximately 75% of a quart. The funnel to add the oi is DEFINITELY needed. It could have been just a little longer by approximately two inches so a better bend could have been achieved to add the oil. The display would have been MUCH better if it included wattage and amperage being drawn. Overall though I give it 5 STARS.

Bought a few days prior anticipating a Hurricane in Houston and did its job. The dual fuel function worked great with both types of fuel and was able to have it running for a while without needing to leave the home for more fuel. I was able to run my fridge, and portable a/c unit along with a few devices for entertainment and served its purpose while we waited for power to be restored.

I live in the hurricane zone in Louisiana so it's important to be prepared. This generator seems to fit the bill. It's a small package, but delivers the right amount of power for us to connect to our transfer switch that will run most items in our house when the power goes out.

From all of the reviews I’ve seen this is a solid unit. I wanted to get a dual fuel generator along with enough power to run most anything. The peak wattage of the unit is 6500 which as i understand may not be enough to hook up and power my home but for everything else i would need this seems to cover most everything else. I have yet to start mine up just yet and am leaving a review for the free cover. Will update once I’ve put it through its paces
