I have been shopping for a generator for my RV for a while. This one hit the mark. I like that it is a Westinghouse which is a very reliable brand. I like the wheels. And I especially like that it is dual fuel at a very good price. I look forward to using it.

Got this for a hard freeze in December. Luckily didn't need it, but went ahead and tested thoroughly and "broke" it in like the instructions recommended. Ran our full size refrigerator, short deep freeze, a floor lamp and both of our FlashFish portable power stations for later use. Did that for 6+ hours and everything worked great and the FlashFish got a full charge just as if they were plugged into the home A/C. Love it and the fact that we didn't spend thousands on a Generac that's only needed occasionally. And feel some much more secure now with possible future Southeast Texas outages from hard freezes and/or hurricanes.

Have not used it yet. Now that I have it the power probably won't go out again. This was purchased after an extended power outage but the power had come back on. You can use gas or propane, which is nice. It seems simple to use. Unfortunately though, the pull cord is not easy for a small female or small teen (with adult supervision) to get started. If I ever use it I'll re review. I'd still recommend it at this point though.

I looked at several big box stores, and compared prices among several brands. For wattage vs cost, this generator was the best value. Assembly was very easy. The necessary basic tools are included, and the wheels attach with cotter pins. Assembly took maybe 5 minutes. Oil comes drained and will need to be filled with the included oil bottle. The generator fired up on the first pull. Idled just fine for a few minutes. I only tried using a 1/2" impact wrench to remove/install a trailer tire, although it was purchased for hurricane preparation. Whenever I pressed the trigger on the impact wrench, the engine would very briefly hiccup but ran fine overall, and otherwise had no electrical or engine issues. I assume that's normal when applying an electrical load. It's certainly not quiet, but I would guess that most aren't. It's my first generator, and at this time I have no regrets. As long as it keeps doing what it's doing, you can't really beat the price, and the 3-year warranty seems fair.

I bought this generator a couple of weeks ago and waiting for electrician to install a manual transfer switch to properly use in case of a prolonged power outage. So this review is prior to my actual usage. However, by profession I am a Director of R&D where I get to oversee design and development of numerous consumer products including portable welding generators. Will add a few preliminary comments: - I like the rolling bars on all sides as they really protect the generator. - the handle is foldable so that's a space-saver. - the engine oil filling spout is oddly placed and westinghouse engineers sure could improve it to avoid any spills. They also need to add an oil level indicator to avoid guessing. My only indication was the size of oil bottle that came with the generator. - Installing the castors is a little pain as have to tilt generator on its side to access the mounting hole. - Mine is a pull start instead of battery start. It started quickly but it is new and I worry when the generator becomes a little older and start requiring multiple pulls. In general, the design and look is very similar to some other on market but Westinghouse is a big name and that swayed my decision to purchase a portable generator rom them.

Generator has adequate dual circuit selection of 240/120volt 30amp/20 amp with great choice of dual fuel use. Propane choice is exceptional allowing a clean burn, no gunking up, especially with the choices of unleaded fuel supplied today. added wheel assembly and enhancement for easy mobility. Generation functions well under load couldn't be a better buy at the price. Would recommend this purchase for just in case needs during storm outages and portable uses.

We had a power failure that affected our entire town, and the heat index made this an unsafe situation for both my husband or me. Encouraged by the reviews, we drove to Sam's and bought this generator. By the time we got home, it was dark. My husband managed to assemble the generator with very little help from me. (I held the flashlight.) The generator started with no problem, and we were in the process of connecting it to a fan and our refrigerator when the power came back on. Next time the power fails, we will be ready.

I bought this today after we lost power yesterday during a wind storm and was told that it could be many days without power. We don’t need much plugged in but this works well in a bind. Have extension cords running through a ground floor window and items plugged in from there. Really helps that the fridge will stay running.

Bought the 5300 watt dual fuel model a month ago and finally got to test it out. Assembly was straight forward. All tools needed for assembly were provided. 10w30 oil was provided; just the right amount. Very thoughtful that they provided a funnel to pour the oil. Following the instructions provided, I connected my propane tank to it. While most of the instructions were good, I wished there were more pictures to supplement the instructions. After starting the generator with about 4 pulls, it started. We plugged in a hair dryer to the 120V but it did not come on. Then I realized the generator was set to 240V. Once, I flipped it to 120V, the hair dryer came on as expected. Now, I wished the generator came set to 120V instead of 240V. Also, I wished the warning to turn off the generator before switching between 240V to 120V was shown earlier in the instructions. Overall, a decent dual fuel generator.

So glad I got this generator. After hurricane Beryl went through Katy Tx, We were without power for 5 days. Our local shell station ran out of gas, so i used my 2 propane tanks which powered my house for a day and a half until we got to fill up our gas tanks!.
