We bought this generator in case there is a power outage in our neighborhood. We tested it several times and it works great. Just wish it is a little quieter when you turn it on. All in all, we are very satisfied with this generator. It gives us peace of mind in case our power goes out.

I tried to break-in the motor on propane but it wouldn't start so I just broke it in with Gas. I called customer service about this issue and they were prompt in getting on the issue. I haven't tried running the propane since breaking it in with gas but I know the warranty will fix it regardless so I'm not worried about it.

My wife purchased this for me last Christmas. I tested it and seemed ok. Placed in storage and when The hurricane came through and I needed it to at least to keep our food cold and run our lift pump for our septic, it wouldn’t stay running. I had new gas, the oil was clean, air filter looked good, even added octane boost and it was just running rough until it quit. Then I noticed it is leaking a little gas out of the bottom of the carburetor bowl. Now I’m throwing out all of our food and if the power doesn’t come on soon, will need to find a hotel as my septic will be full.

This is my first generator being a new homeowner in the south and I already experienced hurricane Helene. With snow and ice forecasted which is rare here I figured now was the time to invest in a generator. I chose Westinghouse because this is a name and company that's been a part of my life and my parents lives. They make a good dependable product they stand behind. I trust the Westinghouse brand and would recommend any of their products.

We did extensive research to decide which generator would be the best fit for us. Please understand we have not had to use the generator as a substitute for power yet. With that in mind, we purchased this for the most bang for our buck and agree with other reviewers to check for damage as ours arrived damaged from shipping…it could be a combination of manufacturer needing to improve the packing (since it’s a known issue) and the shipping companies handling them better. Looking forward to actually seeing how well it does for what it’s made to do!

i bought this generator because my son in law recommended it because it would run on propane and i would not have to keep a can of gasoline sitting around for it. i can just take the cylinder from my gas grill and put in on the generator to start it up. really this takes two pulls and it starts up. how can you get better than this?

So far I have really liked this generator. Easy to put together. Started on the first pull. Best priced generator on the market with all the features on it. Only reason I did not give it 5 stars is I haven't had a need to power my house to see how it works for an extended amount of time.

Ran the generator for during hurricane beryl. After about 48 hours the generator did not start, removed the lg spark plug the original plug and cleaned it and reinstalled and it started. Ran the generator another 8 hours, it failed to start. Replaced the spark plug with an ngk plug and changed the oil with 10-30 synethic oil and it started for another 60 hours. After power was restored i removed the ngk plug and it was carbon fouled. I’m afraid that engine is not burning the fuel properly

I purchased this generator after purchasing my first home in a coastal city. As a woman,I needed something simple and practical. However, I also needed something durable with enough wattage for all the necessities to keep me comfortable for power outages lasting more than a day. This generator fit the bill. It's easy to operate and the dual power option made it more appealing. It's easy to start manually and has an easy handle bar that simply lifts up to roll it out. Assembly was easy and straight forward. You only have to attach the wheels and feet. Everthing you need to get started is in the box (oil included). It's much larger and heavier than I was expecting, but I only have flat areas to roll it over. There's no remote control start, electric start, super quiet decibel levels or any other fancy bells and whistles. What you do get is a solid gas/propane generator that will last a lifetime if taken care of from a highly reputable company at an excellent price point!

Runs and powers a few things. This will keep my refrigerator and freezer going as well as lights and some small space heaters. Should run the water heater if I turn the refrigerator and freezer off during the process. Came with a broken spark plug boot (igniter kit assembly part #50100022), but may have been dropped in transit, as it seems an axle was a little bent, but I expect Westinghouse will send a replacement boot. It fired up right away once I glued and taped the boot together for a break-in run. Some LED lights in the house flicker with generator motor variations, but I expect you would need an inverter generator if you were picky about that. Some LED’s do not handle even small voltage variations very well.
