Awesome enerator

Right after Berle hit in the Houston area and we lost power, on day 2 without power, we purchase this generator to run our major appliances and other items as needed, It was very easy to assemble and start. Love it! It saved our food and peaceful sleeping with a fan and portable a/c.. Thank you!

Being Prepared

We are in our mid 70's & after using our son's generator last year for several days we decided to look into getting one around the same size. This model serves what we will need in an emergency. It wasn't too hard to start, it isn't any noisier than what we expected, went together easily enough & can use either gas or propane. It also has a fuel gauge on the top side which is great for knowing when to refuel. We feel better prepared for an emergency even without having a whole house generator

Great Value!

I bought this to use as a backup for essential items in the event of a power failure at my home. I was happy to find such a powerful unit as this that is dual fuel cause I like to burn propane) at such a good price. Setup was easy and it started on pull number 4 with propane.

good generator

We purchased this after the recent tornados in town. We used it with no issues for several days but haven't had a long-term usage time. we did put about 70 hours on it. There is a pretty bad design flaw with one of the brackets. After only about 15 hours of use, the bracket that holds the black cylinder thing broke off due to only being held on with tiny tack welds. Other than the break-in oil change and the bracket we had no problems

Easy Set up

During an extended power outage, my single fuel generator wouldn't start due to a fouled carburetor. We selected the Duel Fuel Westinghouse Generator and it started right up on propane. Cleaner burning fuel and easy maintenance. I'll probably only run it on propane, but really like having the option. Great product!!

Built to Last

I've only had the generator for a few days but it seems to be well machined and built to last. Nothing about it feels cheap or plastic-y and they include tools to service the engine as well as a comprehensive manual with diagrams and schematics. Will come update this review if I run into any problems in the future.

Dual Fuel is the best!

I bought this in advance of an ice storm. I really love the dual fuel feature. When I use propane, I don't have to worry about gasoline getting old in the tank when I store the generator. Assembly was a breeze, just a couple of feet and wheels on the back. It fired up on the second pull and the digital volt readout showed that it was functioning well. We're ready for whatever comes!

Generator won’t start!!

Just received my brand new dual fuel generator. Installed the tires, added the oil and connected up a 20lb propane tank. Could not get it started using the pull start. Took off the air filter cover and sprayed a little starting fluid and it fired right up with the choke fully on. Let it run a few minutes and switched the choke to the off position and it immediately died. Put the choke back on and tried starting it again…no luck…i called tech support and opened a ticket. Hopefully they will call me monday. In the meantime i will get some gas and try starting it again. Hopefully once we get the bugs worked out i can give it a higher rating.

Solid Generator With Nice Features

Nice generator. Simple to operate and I love the dual fuel feature so that I can be assured that it will always start when using propane. It’s a nice compact design and, unlike other generators I’ve had, you can get to the air filter easily on this one. The noise level is about what I expected and is on par with most portable generators of this size. The oil fill funnel is a nice added touch that will help prevent oil spills during oil changes down the road. I also appreciate the tires being solid so that flat tires aren’t an issue.

A Perfect Plan B

Very Excited about this product in case of any longer than expected power outages due to storms in the area at times. Also the fact that its dual fuel insures we can adequately prepare ourselves more with multiple types of fuel in advance! Excited to begin using it as necessary!
