USES GAS/PROPANE

I LIVE IN LOUISIANA, WE RUN FROM A LOT OF STORMS. WE HAVE A RV AND NOW HAVING A GENERATOR THAT USES GAS AND PROPANE WILL BE A GOD SEND. WE GO THRU TOWNS WITH OUT OF GAS SIGNS FREQUENTLY DURING STORMS. SO HAVING A/C IN 98-100 DEGREE WEATHER IS A BLESSING. WE ARE ELDERLY AND CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT LIKE WE USE TO.

Generator was easy to assemble out of box

Came just in time during hurricane beryl and I opened box and got it up and running in less than 15 minutes(of course reading manual) I did however experience a stripped oil filler cap that resulted in it not closing all the way and leaking motor oil. Idk how or where to find the size of the oil filter cap so I can get a new one.

Almost perfect

I bought this generator a month ago. It has to be outside for obvious reasons, but also has to be covered from the elements. I have a well ventilated generator house that I’ve been using for years, but this generator won’t work in it. Very disappointing. If only there were the availability of a kit to add on exhaust, I’d give it five stars. As it is, I have to go out and turn it off and cover it up every time it rains. Makes no sense to have a piece of equipment that must be covered, and it not be able to be covered.

Great Buy

The only reason I am giving it 4 stars at this point is that we haven't actually had to use it yet. While we hope weather conditions never require that we use it we are so thankful to have found a generator built by a company with a wonderful reputation for quality. The Westinghouse brand came highly recommended and we can rest assured that should we have a power outage, we will have adequate backup power to maintain our water and other necessities. Thank you!

Good features

Used this today because of power outage. Was able to power a refrigerator, small freezer and two large fans. I was not happy about noise level which I tried to determine before the purchase. I examined the original box and could not find the rated decibel level. I searched Google which went to Sam’s club but still no decibel levels disclosed. Love the features but not the noise level. Is there an attachment for sound reduction? Please advise.

great product

We purchased this generator prior to Hurricane Ian. We live in Southwest Florida in Port Charlotte. We used this product daily for 7 days, running 10 hours a day. We powered kitchen fridge and a power strip. The power strip was used to charge phones and run fans.

Solid product

I bought this as a back up power in case the house loses electricity. Solid build, easy to start and easy to set up. The only thing I will complain about is that when delivered it was placed on its side and the bottle of oil was crushed. Oil was all over the parts and leaked onto my sidewalk. Better directions on box or shipping method of oil would be nice.

Solidly built

Purchased and received. Unit is solidly built and the fold away carry handle is a big plus. Simple assembly, like the fact that the supplied oil was exact amount needed for motor. Only drawback thus far, there were two flat washers and two cotter pins missing from the parts bag.

Perfect

After a year of multiple power outages and ruined food, we decided to finally get a generator that could at least keep food cold. We chose this model because it was affordable and had excellent features for the price point. Once we got it home, we were impressed by the quality of the generator. It's solidly built, not flimsy at all, nor is it overly loud and obnoxious. Overall, we're happy that we won't have to worry about ruined food anymore, should we have any more power outages.

Won't start on propane.

Great price but will only start on gasoline. Worked with customer service who sent a part which I changed out. Started one time after that on propane only. After that will only start on gasoline. Runs fine once started. Waiting for further customer service assistance. Unfortunately it looks like I will have to load this heavy thing in my truck and drive it to a service center. Not too happy about that.
