Gulf Coast Relief

This generator will be a great relief and a very useful tool. I live very near the Gulf Coast, and our family has endured more than one hurricane, which knocked out electricity for days. This generator will enable us to live in our home without going back to the Stone Age. Plus, this generator will enable us to use power tools on our property, which were heretofore without access to electric power.

Great generator with dual fuel

I just got this before a winter storm that took out our power for eight hours. The propane fuel option was great because I had multiple tanks left over for my grill. We were able to run heat, lights and cook with this thing. Great purchase and worked like a dream. Now I can have a piece of mind knowing it is in the garage for the next time we loose power.

As advertised!

Bought a few days prior anticipating a Hurricane in Houston and did its job. The dual fuel function worked great with both types of fuel and was able to have it running for a while without needing to leave the home for more fuel. I was able to run my fridge, and portable a/c unit along with a few devices for entertainment and served its purpose while we waited for power to be restored.

Great value! I think best in its class.

We wanted something with 30A 220. This meets needs and more. Lots of great features. Easy to read fuel gauge. Digital voltage readout. Easy to put together without any tools. (except for propane hook up. Wrench/easy) Impressed with the starting. First pull and it's running. Our last generator was so much louder. Thanks Westinghouse for a nice product!

Peace of Mind

Just purchased and haven't needed to use it, but we have peace of mind in the event that we will have need to use the generator. I like the dual fuel feature as well as the ease of assembly and exploded views and schematics for troubleshooting and repair.

Love the dual fuel feature!

We purchased this generator ahead of the 2023 hurricane season but did not have to use it right away. However, 2024 brought two hurricanes to us back to back. We are so thankful we had this generator with the dual fuel option. Gas could be hard to find and the propane is so easy to use. It certainly saved our perishable foods , gave us phone charging capabilities and fans running.

Worked Great

I actually purchased this generator a little over a month ago. Have not had to use till February the 18th with our recent ice storm taking the power out from limbs acorss the lines. Had previously gased it up with ethanol free gas n the oil came from the factory which is a great bounus. It ran great n wasnt that loud once it was under the awning on the porch. But kept the inside frezzer n refrigator . Plus the TV and 2 lights. I have a secondary line to hook to the well if needed . But had prepared.

Great features, solid and very easy to operate.

I bought this about a week ago and it is the first generator I've ever owned, I have to say I am very impressed. My television is Westinghouse brand and I've had it for ever and I knew I couldn't go wrong with getting a Westinghouse generator, it's awesome!

Perfect Size & Features

I purchased this generator almost two months ago to use around the farm and to provide emergency power should the electricity service go down. I opted for the manual start instead of battery start as there might be long periods of time when I don't use it and I didn't want to have to rely on the battery to start it, plus the cost difference wasn't worth it for me. Being able to run on either gasoline or propane allows me great flexibility when it comes to fuel sources. The generator always starts on the 2nd pull. IMHO it's not too loud like some other units. I have used the generator to power my air compressor, drills, saws, grinders, and even my 50 Amp plasma cutter. Great buy!

Great So Far

Purchased as a backup for direct wiring into the house during hurricane season. Have transfer switch all set up and generator test worked as desired. Will not attempt to run at full load until necessary but looks to be the right size for all appliances/lights with the excpetion of Washer/Dryer and whole house AC.
