Good Generator for the price

I've used this once during a power outage so far. It is powerful enough to run what I need it too during an outage and I like the duel fuel feature so I can run it off of a 100lbs propane tank. Very nice little generator for the price. Can certainly tell when my well pump kicks on, bogs it down momentarily with the high surge watts needed to power the pump.

Great Generator! Arrived fast!

I purchased the WGen3600DFcv generator last week and it arrived two days ahead of the originally scheduled arrival date. Filled the oil, added gas and it started easily on the second pull. Next, I tested the propane and it started on the second pull as well. Thus far, I have run it for about 1 hour to help seat the rings and break it in. When time allows, I will run it more to continue the break-in process before using it camping. Based on the 1 hour of run time, I'm happy with the purchase. I ordered it without the wheel kit only to realize it is heavier than I anticipated. Therefore, I ordered the wheel kit which I highly recommend. The generator seems to be of good quality for the price.

Easy start-up, and assembly

Fast delivery, I bought this generator on Saturday and it came today (Tuesday). There was very little setup, just needed to install the padded feet, and the two wheels that were provided. After that I used the funnel to add the the oil that was also provided, went to the garage and grabbed some ethanol free gas I had laying around and started it up. Took 5 pulls and she was up and running. Let it run for about 15mins to break her in. Couldn’t have gone smoother.

Started first pull

Bought this when Hurricane Ian was about to hit. Previous hurricane we lost power for several days. Got the dual power as I have several propane tanks for the grill and firepit. Unpacked, put in oil and gas and it fired right away. Didn't actually need it for this hurricane but keeping in garage as hurricane season has started!!

Great features

I bought this a month ago to prepare for the coming bad weather in Lawton ok. I was glad that I have the piece of mind in case electric went out ( blackout) which happen a couple of times. The good things in this generator is it runs in gas and propane.

Easy to use power

Bought this for the inevitable power outage that gets us when least expected. Now that I have this generator at the ready, there has been no power outage in my area....but I am ready for when there is. After filling the oil,, it starts and runs easy enough, but that is all I have done so far.

My first generator

Just bought this and am overall impressed with it. It's my first generator ever and it looks to be very good quality. Westinghouse had been around a while and that's one reason i got it. Plus almost all the reviews were great. Can't wait to use it when i need it!

Good features for price

Have only run for an hour so far, but easy to assemble and run. The included oil funnel is terrible, recommend using an automatic transmission type funnel. Unit is louder than anticipated but will help to remind you to keep it an appropriate distance from home or tent to avoid exhaust fumes. Test run on propane with no load used about 1lb. propane for an hour.

Defective new unit. Took 2 months to get resolved.

My brand new unit never started. Called tech support and after some going back and forth, they had us bring to a local shop. The shop could not get it fixed after getting 3 different parts from Westinghouse. Westinghouse then sent a new unit which arrived completed damaged and had to get returned. We finally have a new unit 2 months after initial purchase. It works on gas so far. We haven't tried the propane functionality yet. There is instruction that comes with the unit telling you to call technical support instead of returning to the store if there are any problems with the new unit. In our case, it would have saved us a lot of time and Westinghouse a lot of money (they were out the shop fee and 2 additional generators) if we just returned it to the store and bought a new one. All in all, we spent hours between calling Westinghouse, calling the shop, and travel to and from the shop. I contacted Westinghouse about any compensation for the inconvenience and have not heard back.

Up and running less than 30 mins

Out of the box and up and running on propane in less than 30 minutes. Tested with various appliances and performed perfectly. Propane option makes storage a lot easier, but being able to run on gas just-in-case is perfect. Heavy, but wheels make it easy to maneuver.
