Great Value!

I bought this generator due to Black Outs. I simply bought a tt30plug used a large cord I had from a RV and back fed the unit into my house panel flipped the main off shut off as many appliances as I could in the house (fans, lights, TVs) fired up the generator and it kept 2 refrigerators and deep freezer running works great.

Getting ready for Hurricane Season

We bought this to be prepared for hurricane season in south Alabama. The only thing we noticed was the oil fill plug/dipstick is made of plastic and it was hard to rethread it into the metal oil fill spout. It started with the first pull of the cord!!

Great Capacity& Dual Fuel

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.

Seems like a solid product

Purchased this after we had a storm where we lost electricity for several days and almost lost all our freezer contents. We’ve ran it for non emergency and we’re impressed. Now, we are prepared and feel more secure in knowing that. Very nice features

Problem Corrected
5 out of 5 stars review

Started on first pull

The generator started on propane on the first pull, ran smoothly, and handled my test load easily. I plan to connect it to some of the circuits on my breaker panel and test it again later. When I started assembling the wheels I found that one wheel had the wrong axle diameter. Fortunately, I was able to contact Westinghouse online and submit the info on the problem with a photo and they very quickly sent me a new wheel which solved the problem.

First time with a generator; easy to setup and use

Just purchased this product for the upcoming hurricane season. I have not had one before, as I just moved to Florida and was not sure how to set this up or how to use. Instructions for setup were easy to follow. Had the wheels and leg bumpers installed in about 10 minutes. The unit moves around easily. Setup for oil and fuel (both gas and propane, which is why I bought this one) are easy as well. Not complicated to use.

Everything I want in a generator!!!

I bought this size generator to keep my chest freezer & 2 refrigerators running when south TX starts having " Rolling Blackouts " like Cal. When they designed this model, they added everything. ( I didn't want the battery, electric start. ) The user manual is so easy to understand & with pictures.

Exactly what we needed

Living in the South we were concerned about losing power due to storms. We were looking for a generator to power the refrigerator, freezer and maybe a fan. This fit the bill perfectly. We really like the fact that it is dual power so if there is a shortage of gas we are still able to run it. Hopefully we won't need it but it sure is nice to know that it is ready to go in the event of an emergency.

Easy to use, dual fuel is great!

I bought this in 2020. There was a recall initially but the company took care of everything and ended up sending me a brand new unit. This unit is incredible. Use gas or LP and the ease of switching between sources is a major plus. The unit is quiet (for a generator) and gives enough power for whatever you need. Great purchase!

Portable

I bought this model for its duel fuel capabiles. Opened box and assembled unit. Added oil and ran on propane for one hour under no load. Frequency was 64 hz. I am waiting to run under load to see if frequency comes down or this might be normal . So far, I am sure it will meet my needs which is primarily to be on stand by at my home in the event of extended power ouages.t
