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.

Great Portable Generator

Great features and great pricing! Excels all of its potentials. Love the fact that it uses two different fuel types. Generator is easy to operate. Very happy with our purchase. Note: If using in high altitude 5000 ft and above, you will need a carburetor kit and DF regulator. Parts numbers are located in the manual. We are at an altitude of 6700 ft.

So far so good...

We purchased this generator in preparation for the upcoming winter season, so I reserve the privilege of updating my review. For now I'm giving it a probationary 5 stars. I set it up according to the instructions and decided to use propane for my initial test because using gasoline would've involved adding fuel stabilizer and dealing with potential gunk later since there remains at least three months before winter. It started on the 4th or 5th pull and I was pleasantly surprised to discover it's much quieter than I expected. I let it run for a couple-few minutes, then put my multimeter on it. 244 volts: perfect! Next I plugged it into the inlet box on the back of our house, and energized the emergency sub panel. I plugged in a 120 volt 1000 watt heat gun. The engine speed dipped for a moment, but bounced right back up again, no problem. The real test comes when the utility goes down.. I shall keep you posted. But so far so good 👍

GREAT FOR EMERGENCIES!

been debating whether or not to buy a generator after years of annual failures by the city of Austin, this year was the last straw. Went down and picked this up, tossed it in the back seat of my car and never looked back. Quick and easy assembly to put the wheels on, fill it up with oil (all with the tools and oil supplied in box). Carefully read the instructions and filled it up with 4.7 gallons of gas, and it fired right up on the first pull. Ran mine and my neighbor's refrigerators flawlessly for almost 6 hours, and we finally got our power back on the grid after 40+ hours during the freeze. I was able to run my wifi and laptop as well, and a small space heater it was great having power to spare!

Initial review GREAT

Generator looks great and was easy to assemble. Love the screw in oil funnel! Operated on propane and started on the 3rd pull for its initial run time. Excited to complete the first oil change and complete the break-in period. So far so good!

Some Difficulty

I bought the machine in August 2020. I opened it up Jan 3rd, 2021 and began putting it together. The choke lever was broken, likely during shipping. the fuel line was leaking. I put in a new fuel line but the generator has yet to start for me. I'll be working with Westinghouse to remedy these problems.

I like it.

I bought this generator because old died on me during a power outage. I like the dual fuel feature, so I don't have to worry about old gas going stale. I set it up as per instructions and ran it for a while. I had to change the plug coming from my house from a 20 amp to a 30 amp because the 20amp doesn't work with this generator. I hooked it up to the and ran it for about 10 minutes, checked voltage at one of my receptacles and the reading was 120 volts. So far. I'm very happy with the purchase. Also, I received it 3 days sooner than expected.

Great for the price.

This generator was better than expected for what I paid. Plenty of power to run what I needed. It was a life saver to keep my refrigerator, and window A/C running when the power went out in 100 degree weather. Not to mention the convenience of being able to use gas or propane to run it. Definitely no regrets with this purchase.

Good features for price

Have only run for an hour so far, but easy to assemble and run. The included oil funnel is terrible, recommend using an automatic transmission type funnel. Unit is louder than anticipated but will help to remind you to keep it an appropriate distance from home or tent to avoid exhaust fumes. Test run on propane with no load used about 1lb. propane for an hour.
