Multi fuel ability

I have just finished unpacking the generator and setting up. I love the idea of it being a multi fuel generator. This size generator should take care of all my emergency power needs. I actually bought two of these generators. One for me and one for my son.

Perfect for what I need

The feet were hard to install due to the M8 nut on the frame not being either machined properly or aligned to the frame holes. That is my only complaint. Other than that, the rest was simple. I certainly recommend having another hand to help out, this thing is heavy.

Great feature set for the price point

This is my first generator purchase for home and was needing something that could provide temporary power for some critical equipment at the house. The running capacity gives plenty of headroom to allow other devices and the dual fuel capability provides that extra level of assurance that I was looking for and at a price point that I was able to fit in.

Great Power

I bought this a few months ago and when our power went out I was able to get it going and turn on all the necessity items in the house with no problem. For example my refrigerator my stove, and almost all lights in my house. Would be nice if it had a remote start feature.

Wonderful Generator

Bought this generator i case of emergency due to the craziness and possible bad weather. Love the portability. Not too hard to move. . Just unboxed it and assembly was very easy. First start was 20 min after I opened the box. The startup was real fast. No dents dings or scratches anywhere as I did read in previous reviews. I would definitely recommend this I like the option of using gas or propane it allows me to have more fuel and I don't have to keep a bunch of gasoline cans. The ability to move it with the fold down handle and wheels make it easy for anyone to handle it

Great generator P C

purchased this generator at my local club they had it in a great display area where it got my attention. the fact that it was dual fuel is a great advantage when R VING. the fuel being propane of choice because of safety. just a great product because of the fact that they build very large motors and electric Transformers and many others. The name WESTINGHOUSE IS WELL KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY AND ALL OVER THE WORLD

Good value for the money.

I bought this generator in May 2021 for use as backup power for my house and for powering my travel trailer on camping trips where there are no hookups. Upon unboxing and adding gas, the unit fired right up on the first pull. The unit has 6500 peak watts and 5300 running watts. We took it on a camping trip and it was able to power our 15K btu AC unit, and we ran our microwave at the same time. It is a large fairly loud unit that creates a lot of power. It does not have an Eco mode so it puts out full power all the time and uses a lot of gas. What's a great feature is that it also runs on propane as it comes (although it puts out a little less power on propane). In my test on a propane tank it ran fine. In all I think that with the power it delivers, the 3 year warranty, and the fact that it runs on propane, the unit is a great value and that I made a good decision in my purchase.

Great value!

Just bought today in anticipation of wintery weather. Based on research, this looks like the best product for us. Hoping we don't HAVE to use it but in the event we do, we are looking forward to using the features of this product. The price was also great.

Can run on propane and connect to electric panel

I purchased this combination fuel gas/propane model primarily for backup during a power outage. I plan to use propane so I don't have to bother with gas, fuel stabilizer, etc. And having an extra propane tank around is handy for the grill too! I also chose this model because I plan to get an interlock installed on my electric panel and connect it right to the panel. I did start it up and let it run for 20 minutes or so on propane. It took several pulls for the initial startup. Note that you do need the choke on regardless of the fuel type :-) Only plugged a few small tools into the 120 receptacles just to try it out so haven't run it under much of a load yet, but it seemed to run fine/evenly.

Ready for this Winter!

Last February when Texas’ power grid went down we went 4 days without power. Freak winter storms, hurricane, rolling blacks, zombie apocalypse… whatever, this generator give us what we need to the lights on. I like the dual fuel capacity. In a crisis, gasoline could get scarce so having a propane back up is cool. This unit is large enough to run just about everything in the house minus the HVAC. The plan is to integrate it into our homes system with a transfer switch so it’s seamless. Since the generator is only for emergencies it should last a long time with regular upkeep.
