Dual Fuel Generator for basic emergency power

Purchased today after wind storm took out our power. I really like the propane/gasoline option and plan to use only propane as long as I can get the fuel. It starts easily and powers my refrigerator, WiFi and tv so we don’t have to sit here in the dark.

Quiet running easy to start

Very happy with generator, when I looking to purchase a generator this one had a high rating now I understand why. The easy start quiet running is a seller, the duel fuel is plus for me. Being 63, Westinghouse and electric went together growing up. This is why I tried this generator, now I'm glad I did.

great value generator

We bought this generator after much research. And are very pleased with the price and how easy it was for us to locate it on line and be able to check stock and then purchase it before a big storm was due to hit. Also the wheels make it very easy to move it around to were you need it. And we like that you can use gas or propane.

Awesome Generator

Bought this a month ago and so far its been great. Easy set up and break in. Is light enough to put in back of a pickup with a little help. The dual fuel option is great, and I will be utilizing it. Its compact enough to fit between my truck toolbox and 5th wheel for powering our travel trailer when boondocking. Starts easy and is not super noisy. It was the best value for the money that I could find. I highly recommend it.

Best Home Investment

I bought this generator to keep my home ready to go with any electrical outage. I am happy I made the investment. It was easy to learn how to use. I showed my entire family how to use in my absence. This can be ran by a teenager with ease. Great product.

Worked wonderfully!

I purchased this generator to supply power while replacing the service panel on my house. This required the electric company to disconnect power for this job as the house was built in the 70's and was not up to 2020 code (eg. No external cut-off to the main service panel). Of course we still needed electricity to perform work. It started up right away after addig the oil and gas. This generator performed wonderfully providing hours of power. Since we were only running a few things, fuel consumption was not high and we still had half a tank or more of fuel after probably 6 hours of service. The wheels are nice for moving it around. The only drawback is that the could be made longer so that your ankles don't continually hit the unit while pulling it. Otherwise, it is a great generator!!!

It was a blessing for this Generator. My power keeps going out during storms. Now my husband is on a CPAP Machine. We donate to worry about him can't breath again. Thank you, so much, Westinghouse for giving my. Husband back his breath. He's homebound now, we don't have go back to the hospital. God bless you.

Sturdy and minimal assembly

I have not yet had the need to use this, but it seems very sturdy, Well assembled was well packed and undamaged. I am excited that the product uses propane as well as gasoline and I intend to try it out first with propane. I am looking forward to getting a cover for this so I can keep it in my garage dust free for emergencies.

Great for back up power.

I bought this Westinghouse generator 1 week ago because of a power outage. Very easy to assemble,was able to power up a portable ac unit, run my refrigerator hook a few lights and a couple of fans. Ran off of gasoline 1 tank lasted about 10 hours. I would highly recommend getting one for emergencies.

Awesome Generator

Purchased about 2 months ago & have only used it 1 time, so my review is somewhat limited. Assembly was smooth except one hole for the wheel axle wasn't large enough. Had to drill it out slightly to fit. Runs smooth & am comforted knowing it will run on dual fuel. Like the number of options it has for outlets. I have purchased brand new gas powered items before & knew to add the engine oil before starting it, but felt like the assembly instructions SHOULD HAVE more clearly mentioned this for novice buyers. Also, instead of having to read through all 28 pages of the manual, include a "Quick Start" guide.
