Great Generator

Bought this generator to use on a piece of property that has no electricity. I already have a similar Westinghouse generator that I use at my home if the power goes out in the winter or summer and have really been pleased with it. Therefore, decided to get another Westinghouse generator. Easy to operate.

Easy to use

Purchased during a power outage. Very easy setup, with good quality tools included. Generator started on the first pull, and worked well for the 24 hours our power was out. Good sized fuel tank, giving long run times between fill ups. Being able to use propane as another fuel source is a great feature!

RV Boondocking!

My wife and I bought this Westinghouse dual gas portable generator so that as we travel towing our RV and decide to stay at a RV park, we don't have to depend on a full hookup site to park our RV. Now we can reserve a site with either a full hookup or not. The generator was very easy to unpack and there was very little to do to power it up. It started the first time after using the choke and we tested both the gasoline and propane uses. We experienced no problems at all. Can't wait to try it out if full hookups are not available! We now are really Happy Campers!

Well laid out control panel and other controls

I purchased this generator after my previous generator was destroyed during Hurricane Ian. It was easy to assemble the wheels and foot-rests and after that it was simply a matter of adding oil and fuel. Starting the unit required only two pulls and it fired right up. I liked the layout of the controls making it easy to set it up to power household items during power blackouts.

Worked well and consistently

I bought this during Hurricane Ian and it was a life saver. Easy to start and plenty of power to run my refrigerator and small appliances and charge the phones. The only minor complaint was the oil dipstick was very easy to put back in just a little crooked so that oil spewed. I became adept at adjusting it carefully.

So Far So Good

Used during a power outage from Hurricane Helene. Powered fans and charged phones, etc. Unfortunately was not able to get before we lost everything in refrigerator and freezer so did not use to power anything like that but feel sure could have with no issues. Happy with purchase and glad will have it for future issues we might face. FYI used Propane and generator usually started with only 2-3 pulls.

Great Emergency Backup Generator

I bought this generator so that I could have the flexibility of gasoline or propane to recharge my DIY home battery bank. Everything works as expected. Once I figured out the instructions the generator started easily on propane with just a couple of pulls. Ran my battery chargers just fine.

Great Unit for a Great Price

This is a must have if you live in an area with an unstable grid (i.e.- Southern California in the Summer). Our power went out during a time when we were hosting friends, and this bad boy allowed me to cook on two electronically controlled pellet grills while charging all my portable devices and running outdoor lighting. I recommend it to everyone I know.

Easy to use and affordable

I bought this last November for emergency use in case the power goes out in the winter. Winter of 2020 our power went out for the day while my youngest had a double ear infection my oldest had pneumonia and needing breathing treatments on a nebulizer and i was sick with a sinus infection. My husband woke me up at 5:30am to tell me the power went out sometime during the night and the temperature in the house was dropping and he had to go to work or risk being pointed. After that horrible day i decided to purchase a generator so i would never be stuck in that horrible situation again. Its a good feeling to know if we have another power outage me and my family are prepared.

Easy to Start, Great Options - Little Loud

This generator was easy to setup and provides the options of propane or gasoline, we have only used it with gasoline so far. It is a little loud and seems to consumer about or over 1 gallon an hour under heavy load. I wish it was a little quieter and used less fuel like our old one. But this one works and does the job for the cost, it was more affordable than the old one and will work great as a back, as intended.
