Great value!

Just bought today in anticipation of wintery weather. Based on research, this looks like the best product for us. Hoping we don't HAVE to use it but in the event we do, we are looking forward to using the features of this product. The price was also great.

Easy to use!!!!

I moved to an area where we seemed to lose power anytime a strong storm came through. A few times it was for an extended period. I bought this to run a few important items around the house to keep life moving along. It has worked perfectly and was very easy to understand for someone with little GEN experience. Very happy with my choice.

Started on the first pull! READ THE USER MANUAL!!!

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!

Reliable, plenty of power

I bought this generator to supply power to my water well while I waited for the power company to provide power to my property. I used it several times a week to run the well pump (240 volts, not sure of wattage) for up to an hour or 2 at a time. It was flawless in the middle of the coldest time of the year. Very easy starting on gasoline. I did not have a need or opportunity to try the propane option. The generator was also used to power some power tools as I had a shed built and performed without a hitch. And gas "mileage" was great too!

Duel Fuel

Generator arrived in great condition. Easy setup! Impressed with the decibel/noise. Two things to recommend: in User Manual, please indicate oil capacity and further explain to turn/screw in the fuel drain line (almost panicked when I saw fuel draining).

Impressed

I was surprised at how much quieter this was versus my Predator unit. The wheel kit with this unit is great and easy to install. I'm very impressed with the propane efficiency on this unit too. The tank is the right size. Other companies go smaller. My only complaint is that the handle is on the opposite side of the exhaust, but that is a personal preference. The toolkit is a very nice touch. It helps with draining the carb bowl. I'm impressed.

Very easy to use. Perfect for what we needed it fo

We had a power outage in Texas. It is summer and we had no electricity meaning no air conditioner. I bought this product and plugged it into my refrigerator, freezer, 2 fans and small electronics and ran it for 1 1/2 days feeling it up twice. It served us perfectly. I accidently put in the wrong serial number it is actually 53c12211334578

Dual fuel what's not to love

I really like to versatility of dual fuel. The generator started right up after I hooked up the LP gas. With the built in regulator it makes it so easy to use LP gas instead of gasoline. You do lose a little capacity but with the clean burning LP it's worth it. The ability to run gasoline is great as well in case you can't get LP. The only really downside is filling the crankcase, the fill tube is about 2" short but hopefully I wont have to do it often.

Outstanding generator

This generator is a great one to have. I purchased this almost a year ago or maybe more to actually take to my RV by the beach. Living in hurricane prone area prompted the first purchase of a generator over 25 years ago. Stayed in garage on top of my large generator that has 2 flat tires. Being a little ol’ lady, moving the big generator was not going to happen. Wheels on this one are the never flat type. The same will be going on the big generator soon. But back to the program. I just experienced a heck of a storm on 05/16. No power for 5 days. So out comes this baby. Wheeled it to the back yard. Plugged in the house. Presto! Power, not strong enough to run central A/C, but ran the portable A/C just fine. Along with my 2 freezers and 2 refrigerators. Even able to do laundry and run my coffee machine. All at the same time! It ran for almost 9 hours on 4.7 gallons of high octane gas. On standby I had two 20lb propane tanks. For the “just in case” I did not feel like getting more fuel. I am so very happy with this purchase. Very efficient and easy to start. Even for a little old lady like me. P.s. just remember to turn off the petcock valve to ensure all fuel runs out of the generator and to always treat your fuel with a stabilizer for storage. Start your generator at least once a year to ensure its there for you when in need.

Easy to start!

Bought this when we lost power from a freak storm and were told it would be days without. It was easy to put the wheels/feet on, put oil and gas in and start up. It ran wonderfully, i really like the fact that we could switch from propane to gas and vice versa when needed.
