Great quality!

My husband did a lot of research before deciding on this one. We just had to pull it out after we lost power from Hurricane Ian. Quality is too notch and we are so pleased with the purchase! If you are a first time generator owner like us, don’t wait until you need it to open the bow! It does take some setting up before first use!

Good value for the money.

I bought this generator in May 2021 for use as backup power for my house and for powering my travel trailer on camping trips where there are no hookups. Upon unboxing and adding gas, the unit fired right up on the first pull. The unit has 6500 peak watts and 5300 running watts. We took it on a camping trip and it was able to power our 15K btu AC unit, and we ran our microwave at the same time. It is a large fairly loud unit that creates a lot of power. It does not have an Eco mode so it puts out full power all the time and uses a lot of gas. What's a great feature is that it also runs on propane as it comes (although it puts out a little less power on propane). In my test on a propane tank it ran fine. In all I think that with the power it delivers, the 3 year warranty, and the fact that it runs on propane, the unit is a great value and that I made a good decision in my purchase.

Good Generator

We purchased this generator after a hurricane when our electric power was out for an extended time. We fueled it with gasoline and used it to power our refrigerator and an upright freezer on and off for a total of about 20 usage. We also used it to power a floor fan. It worked well. We plan to us it again if we have another extended outage.

Easy startup!

I bought this generator at the beginning of hurricane season. Of all the generators I considered, this one was the best price and the highest reviews. Putting the feet and wheels on was a breeze and while it is a pull start I was pleasantly surprised that I barely had to pull the cord for it to start up! Great disaster prep purchase!!

Runs very well after you turn the fuel on

It was pretty funny cause it wasn’t starting and wasn’t starting and then we finally found the fuel switch and once it got turned on BOOM!! It cranked right over. It lowers the trailer good. We haven’t used it as a back up for our house yet but I’m sure it’ll run the basics for that just fine.

Excellent generator

Bought this generator in preparation for emergency situations at my house. Lost power within weeks of getting it. Filled it with oil, hooked up my 100lb propane tank, filled it with gas and started right up. Powers everything necessary in my house, and love that I can run it on gas and propane, runs for a long time. Fairly quiet as well. I’ve already recommended this model to 3 family and friends.

Awesome Generator

I purchased this generator to replace my older generac 5500w unit. I plugged into our home with the direct 30amp 240v plug and it worked perfectly. It ran our furnace, well pump and refrigerator. I love the flexibility of gas and propane. I have only used it with propane / and it worked just great.

Very Little Assembly Ready to Go

The weatherman assured us that ice was not going to be our friend this weekend. We have debated for years about the need for a portable generator and decided it was time to stop flirting with danger (since we have 2 full deep freezers). Out of the box there was very little assembly. We decided to try both fuels. It started right up with our portable propane tank which was very encouraging. Several folks have told us that duel fuel is the way to go. Next we put in just a bit of premium gasoline. Again, it fired right up and we just let it run until it was empty. I don't know what the weekend may bring---but this generator is easy to operate and gives us the confidence we've been lacking in winter readiness! We have no reason to think that this generator is anything but amazing!

Runs great! Little difficult to start though…

Bought the unit a week ago. It’s still in the break in period, so I can’t keep my expectations too high. Unfortunately, it’s been a bit difficult to start while using propane. I followed the instruction manual to a T. It’s required many, many pull starts to fire up. I haven’t tried gas yet, and have intention to do so soon. Once going, it powers everything I need it to, primarily the deep freezer if my power goes out. This thing is a powerhouse! Max wattage on my large deep freezer is only about 1:10th of the max wattage of the generator. I’ve got plenty of room to use on other appliances if needed. I never want our power to go out, but I know this Westinghouse generator will power our critical items during such times.

Handy Generator

I just purchased this generator and am very pleased with it. It has all the features that I wanted and is compact enough not to take up a lot of storage space. Assemble was easy and it started right up and works great on gasoline and propane. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a backup generator or just one to take camping.
