Love the dual fuel option!!

We bought this generator on January 12, 2022, as we were getting ready for an ice storm to hit our area. The setup for this machine was easy and it fired right up with no problems at all. So far I'm loving our new generator. I would recommend this product to others!

Last minute need

Had an extended power outage and a commercial fridge that couldnt be out longer. Grabbed this and worked great plus have in case for the future. Only down side is this is pretty heavy even empty so be prepared and is loud which I expected. Ran on Gas but like the dual function

Easy setup

We purchased this generator to upgrade to a larger generator than our current 3.5KW before hurricane season peaked. It was very easy to setup out of the box and cranked on the second pull. We haven't had the need to run it for any extended time yet but confident it will do a good job

seems to work, but it's extremely hard to start

I just bought this generator brand new. followed all of the instructions, filled with the supplied oil and attached my propane tank. I could not get it to start after over 50 hard pulls of the cord and changing the choke settings and verifying the switches, re-reading the manual a dozen times. then I filled it with brand new gasoline, switched the settings to gas and still had a lot of difficulties to start it, but luckily it started after about 30 hard pulls and changing the choke settings. the next day, I tried again and once again, it took about 20 hard pulls and it only starts with the choke on, which is different than what the manual says. I am praying that this generator will start when I actually need it.

Amazing!

We bought this generator because last winter we had a power outrage for more than a week and we didn't want to go through that all over again. We happened to have purchased it the same day our power went out. Everyone else on the street was dark but we had lights and heat. Works as advertised. Very easy to use and easily supplied what we needed. Will be connecting it to a transfer switch before we get snow this year. Very happy.

Works well

As of now, My generator has been excellent. I haven’t yet had the opportunity to really test it during a power outage, or any other time of need, but it came just about fully assembled and without hassle. After installing the wheels and feet, I simply poured in the oil, started it up after a few pulls, and run it through the 1 hour break in cycle without any issues. given the specs and features, I feel confident it will stand up to anything I’d ever need it for.

Love This Generator

We bought this in January, with New England winters upon us, we have lost power too many times, my wife who is the queen of research looked and looked, and found that this Westinghouse was the best bang for the buck, I love it, easy to use and love the dual gas feature, that is a big help, we absolutely recommend this generator, you will love it, we do.

Good product!

Had some shipping damage to heat shield after unpacking so I took it off and straightened it out the best I could. Changed to a floating neutral, filled with oil, hooked up to a LP cylinder and started right up. Should be just what we need when the power goes out!

Complete with Accessories

I bought this in anticipation of severe wind storms. We configured it for use with a utility transfer switch or interlock in our case. Instructions and photo were clear for removing the jumper to provide a floating neutral. Good general operation & Maintenance instructions. Easy to assemble the included wheel kit. Happy to find it came with Regulator, Oil, Funnel and Tools. Hooked it up to a 20lb propane cylinder and it started on 1st pull. I'll probably buy another, as we're on a farm 1/10 mile from the rode and utility power is fragile with all the trees.

Great operation, minor complaints

The generator functions as it should out of the box. Very easy operation on gas and propane, switching between the two is easy. The only complaint I have is a small one. Some of the paint on the frame was scratched off leaving bare metal behind. This is a minor cosmetic blemish in a non important area though.
