Dual Fuel

Bought this portable generator as a backup to my standby generator. I opted for the dual fuel to keep from having to deal with gasoline while exercising it. Tested both 120V and 240V under load and found it to be acceptable. Actual voltage was 122V and 244V with no load which matched the volt meter. Frequency was a 62.3 Hz and also matched the meter on the generator. Also, much quieter than my other backup generator which is 20 years old. So far so good.

Duel Fuel and Running Watts were very important

I bought this in case of power loss due to hurricanes. It was very easy to assemble and easy to move around. I tested it on propane and gas. It worked great on both. The noise level is less than I expected...I am now better prepared for the next hurricane.

My 2nd Westinghouse Generator

Well built. Bought it for the dual fuel capability, gas & propane. After opening box I found no power extension cable like I had with my first Westinghouse Generator? Have not powered up this generator yet. Added oil but waiting for a power extension cable.

suits storm needs well

generator suits storm needs very well. the duel fuel feature is a great asset and easy to use. the co shut off is a great peace of mind. the running wattage is perfect for a temporary power station in the case of a storm outage and the wheels work great for portability.

Great price and easy to use!

I got this as a backup for increasingly frequent power outages. If you follow the instruction manual closely you'll be up and running pretty quickly. This is my first portable generator and I'm very pleased at how easy it is to start and use. I plugged a few different things of various loads and it was able to handle them with no issues. If you're not familiar with generators, definitely take the time to read the manual--you'll be glad you did. :)

Great generator

Once I realized this model didn't have remote start, I was very worried it would be hard to pull. I'm so glad my fears were unwarranted. I use propane and it's very easy to start. It completely powers my travel trailer while on the road. I'm so happy I bought this.

Excellent Generator

I bought this today and I am very pleased with the generator. Very easy to set up. Install pads and wheels was very easy. Fill with oil and gas, couple of pulls and runs great. It is more quiet than I expected and all the gages and breakers are easy to use and understand. The size and available power are well worth the price!! Highly recommend.

Great quality!

My husband did a lot of research before deciding on this one. We just had to pull it out after we lost power from Hurricane Ian. Quality is too notch and we are so pleased with the purchase! If you are a first time generator owner like us, don’t wait until you need it to open the bow! It does take some setting up before first use!

Great for the money!

I bought this a few days ago and it it awesome! I love the duel fuel option and the price you just can’t beat! This will help me especially when the power goes out in the little town I live in. Sometimes we can lose power for hours and propane can store longer. Excellent piece of technology!

Good value for the money.

I bought this generator in May 2021 for use as backup power for my house and for powering my travel trailer on camping trips where there are no hookups. Upon unboxing and adding gas, the unit fired right up on the first pull. The unit has 6500 peak watts and 5300 running watts. We took it on a camping trip and it was able to power our 15K btu AC unit, and we ran our microwave at the same time. It is a large fairly loud unit that creates a lot of power. It does not have an Eco mode so it puts out full power all the time and uses a lot of gas. What's a great feature is that it also runs on propane as it comes (although it puts out a little less power on propane). In my test on a propane tank it ran fine. In all I think that with the power it delivers, the 3 year warranty, and the fact that it runs on propane, the unit is a great value and that I made a good decision in my purchase.
