Buyer Beware

Westinghouse warranty doesn't cover most parts or labor so their claim of a 3 year warranty is not true. Thankfully Sam's is a company with integrity because they've been very helpful since our Westinghouse nightmare started in January. The four generators prior to the one we have currently, all this same make and model, had catastrophic engine failures at around the 200 hour mark. The current one is at 125 hours and it's already starting to run like crap. Avoid this brand at all costs. It's not worth the price you'll pay in the long run!

Just what I was looking for

I purchased this unit recently, It appears this generator is a perfect fit for my needs. I have been looking and comparing generators for the last six months to fulfill my needs. It came with everything needed, all I needed to supply was fuel. The unit started easier than previous units, I have had several in the past 30 years. I am well pleased. It is nice to have a generator made by a company that has been making generators for well over a 100 years. Ray

Great Features

I bought this during hurricane 🌀 Beryl and it's kept my fridge and deep freezer going. While running fans with no power for a week with no problems. Easy set up and start up. Like the features of when to change the oil with the blinking indicator.

Easy to use

Purchased during a power outage. Very easy setup, with good quality tools included. Generator started on the first pull, and worked well for the 24 hours our power was out. Good sized fuel tank, giving long run times between fill ups. Being able to use propane as another fuel source is a great feature!

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.

So far, so good

Unpacked the unit, installed wheels and feet and connected propane tank. Fired up and ran for a few minutes. Then poured some treated fuel in the tank and ran it on gasoline for a few minutes. Didn’t yet apply any load but it looks like it’s ready to go for the next time we lose power.

Great Value

Bought this yesterday as a backup for the freeze expected in South Louisiana. Purchased this model due to the great reviews. It was a good price and offered gas/propane sources. It will also be used to power the Living Quarters in my daughter’s horse trailer. Easy to get set up and get running. I hope I don’t have to use it for the freeze but have peace of mind just in case I do have to use it.

The generator saved the day! ..and our basement.

We were without power for what seemed forever. Our sump pump couldn't run and our basement started to take on water. Friends loaned us their Westinghouse generator; it was so quick and easy to prep and power things, that we immediately purchased one of our own.

Impressive

Bought because of power outage to replace older generator. The dual fuel is a great feature. Power was off for 40 hours and I ran this generator for 24 hours with a break every 8 hours to check the oil and give it a break. Not only did it not use a drop of oil but the ease of starting is amazing. Used exclusively propane and love the idea of not having to deal with gasoline and gummed up carbs. I powered 2 freezers, a refrigerator and several other items without any issues. Each tank of propane lasted over 12 hours. Simple to use right out of the box.
