We bought this to replace an older and smaller generator. We love the electric start and the extra power this Westinghouse generator offers. It is also much quiter and smoother running. We use it for our RV and incase we lose power at home. Winter is coming and we feel sure that this generator will be ready when we need it. Thank you for a great product

I did massive research on my first generator as to what to buy, and this was the best bang for my buck when it came to my needs vs the specs of this generator. This unit is extremely heavy, too heavy for carriers with no material moving equipment. UPS, FedEx and USPS use no equipment to help them deliver packages, so unless Arnold Schwartzenegger is delivering your generator, know in advance the box will arrive damaged, but the generator (I think) is packaged with this in mind. After all, the generator is so heavy, one can only lift it so hi, so it doesn't have far to fall if dropped. After setting up my generator, it was obvious to me that people were not following directions when reading their reviews. I don't care if you have been operating generators all your life (like myself) this one will not set up, prep and start like any other your used too. READ THE DIRECTIONS! This generator ships with no motor oil and has a "break in" period. Be sure to pour the entire contents of the supplied oil into the crankcase. (3/4 of a court capacity) 10w30. After the break in period (run for 1 hour with no load), it recommends after 25 hours of load run time to change the oil. That's where I recommend converting to synthetic oil. This generator comes with everything you need to set it up except the fuel. It even comes with the tools to put the legs and wheels on and a funnel to pour the oil in. This thing started on the very first pull for me, and runs quieter than any of my previous generators. Bottom line: If you don't read the user manual, don't dare complain about the item or leave a bad review. People who have been using generators for years like myself (and those who make them) can tell if they have read the instructions or not just by reading a review. Even with all the "fibs" within it. This generator is worth buying even if you don't know how to interpret and apply the instructions, just hire someone else who knows what they're doing to set it up for you. Way to go Westinghouse! Eat your heart out Generac!

I bought this after a big storm came through a couple of hours away from my house and knocked out power over a widespread area. I wanted power if that happened to me. Got a great deal on this unit. Delivered promptly. Minor assembly to attach wheels and rest pads. The generator started up on the 2nd pull and works great!

I purchased in April this year, had power outages so I hooked it up read all directions it’s duel fuel so it works great it took nothing to hook everything up again read directions; only have a few things plugged in but very nice generator very very happy with it!!!!! Excited to a purchased this brand & again love the duel fuel !!!

I purchased this earlier this year. Followed the break in process and haven't had to use it as we got it for emergency power loss. Just got hit with a bad storm and lost power and went and got it out and it fired up on the 3rd pull after sitting for several months. Been running our fridge and freezer as well as providing us with some power. Very happy with it.

Everything from taking it out of the box to installing the feet and wheels to reading and understanding the instruction manual was simple and easy. Ready to try for the first time since Elsa is on the way. Makes me feel ready when the power fails and it will.

I bought this same model a year ago and decided to get another one because I liked it so much. Very easy to use and great features. I used the first one at my remote, off-grid cabin and it is great. I had to change the LP nozzle for the high altitude but the support team was very helpful. This one is staying at my home for emergency backup purposes.

I bought yesterday, unboxed today. I'm happy it came with a bottle of oil with the exact amount so the level was between high and low. the wheels and rubber feet were easy to assemble. it came with a wrench, and spark plug wrench, and adaptor for using propane.

Bought this generator to have for household backup. I knew I wanted the dual fuel option and looked at several brands. I had previously purchased a Westinghouse pressure washer, which I have found to be very reliable, so I opted for the brand I knew I could trust. With the dual fuel option, a 240v plug, and 5300 running watts, this is a good package for the price. Only drawback, I could find with it so far is the wheels are just plastic with no bearings in them, no big thing.

With hurricane season upon us we thought it would be a good idea to have a generator for back-up. Instruction were clear. Assembly was minimal. This model runs on propane and gas but am just trying the propane at this time. Easy start. Right now running to large fans, a small fridge and a 42in TV. So far we are happy with the results
