Great features and quality generator

I purchased this generator yesterday and after unpacking, adding oil, connecting my propane, and connecting battery I was able to start the generator with the push button and with the remote Bob…great! It performed as advertised, right out of the box. The features are exactly what I needed. I'm a 78 year old senior and the electric start will be much appreciated. 100%satisfied.

Great looking generator with good features!!

I purchased this a couple of weeks ago. I haven`t had to use it yet for no power. But I did want to make sure it worked. Put the oil, gas and connected the battery and it cranked right up. We love it . Not to loud. We`re ready now for when the power goes out.

Great Generator. Very friendly and many options

I bought this generator 3 years ago. I bought it because it was universal between propane and gas, owner of 2 other gas generators I felt I was missing a propane. It has come in hand as I have ran out of gasoline but living in the country , we always have propane on hand.

Power peace

I bought this generator due to increased number of power outages. Have not had the pleasure of using it yet, but feel a sense of security that I am ready for the next big event.

Won’t start…

We purchased our generator for emergency power for our home. We are in our mid 70’s and love the features, electric start, remote control, propane/gas dual fuel. Pulled from box, added a wheel kit, charged battery, new propane tank. Started generator, it ran almost a whole 30 seconds then stopped. Will not start now.

Bad choice

We got this generator as an everyday tool for our business, it worked great the first 4 days and on the fifth day after 3 hours of use suddenly it started misfiring and died, we changed to propane and it didn't start, it had spark at the plug, fresh gas / propane, and it just quit working, we thought it been a larger brand name was going to work flawlessly, bad experience with this generator, I don't know if it been double fuel has to do with it failing so bad, but I'll stick to gasoline in the future.

Never Used for Actual Event and Dead

Purchased, and only started to meet manufacturers guidelines and other user recommendations to start up and run for short periods every so often. Went to start it up for annual check and it started leaking gas everywhere. Westinghouse was great and sent us a replacement because of a recall, but the new one won't even start - the part you pull to start it does nothing - so we've had to go back to Westinghouse again. So now we have two of these sitting at our house and both are unusable and we're not sure what Westinghouse is going to do. Wish I'd bought extended warranty - have only owned 1.5 years but it's too late to take back to Sams. AVOID THIS PRODUCT.

Compact, Efficient and Low Cost

Purchased to have backup power for my well water and heat in case of another winter blackout. Found this also has the capacity to run my AC should I need it in the summer months. Having the dual fuel propane and gas gives me extra piece of mind since I can power it with my 4 propane tanks and gasoline I have on hand if needed. I installed a 240v plug to directly connect to my whole electrical panel. Great price and would buy again if needed.

Lasted 8 hours. 8 hours!

I bought this for camping at Talladega Superspeedway and we ran it for about 8 hours over the first 2 days there, no more than 10. It was running but we noticed that we lost electricity to our camper and eventually figured out that the generator had stopped outputting power. The voltmeter was blank and none of the circuit breakers tripped, it simply quit suddenly for no reason. Darn near ruined our race weekend. Do not recommend, it is not reliable!
