Easy to assemble. Ran on the first pull

Strong and sturdy. has a collapsable towing handle. I read the manual and assemble as it stated.The 10 mill wrench is in the tool kit and the wheels are quick to install with the wave type cotter pins. I feel the service of the unit should be right after the assembly or when it states to service oil prior to start it probably should say on page 24. The fuel selector switch was in propane so just give it a once over prior to pulling the rope. I just started it to let it run off the factory smell and to make sure it would run when I need it. I hope I can follow up later what a review using the propane part also.

Easy set up - easy use.

I bought this generator due to a power outage. The 5300w generator was sufficient for keeping the fridge, box freezer, sump-pump, and hot water tank going for a 3 day outage. I was also able to run TV, Wi-Fi, a space heater, and charge devices during the outage. It ran approximately 12 hours on a full tank of gas (4 gallons).

Great Deal

I am very pleased with the unit so far packaged well, easy to understand directions very straightforward for someone who might not be 100 % sure of themselves with a portable generator. This unit should serve my needs for quite sometime. Even comes with a funnel for the gas, and oil . Love the fact the wheel kit and propane hose and regulator were included with this unit.

Issues at 49 hours

We got this at the beginning of the week and it's already having issues with surging and won't even push a light. We're using a gas treatment on the fuel and followed all the setup procedures in the manual so we're at a loss as to what is going on with it. We use a generator pretty much everyday so we figured buying a new one was going to be easier than to keep fixing the old one we had but as of now that's not the case. We said we'd recommend to others because our luck with products like this is anything but good so maybe it's just us and not the equipment.......

Great Generator

I just purchased this generator and got it out of the box and set up today. Setup was easy just had to put a couple feet on the front and 2 wheels on the back then attach the propane hose. I started it up for the first time today using a propane tank. I opened the choke and it started on the second pull no problem. Seems to function just fine so far. I will update the review after I have a few hours on it but so far I am happy with this purchase and have no issues at all.

Great for emergencies

Bought this back in September of 2021 but haven’t gotten around to breaking it in until now. Bought it for emergencies in case of a power black out. Shipped straight to my home with no dents or issues! So far I haven’t had any problems with it after hours of it continuously going.

Perfect for when you need the extra power

I found this model and knew it would fit my needs for a back up source of energy. My store was out of stock, but I waited till it they received more of this model. I am glad I did. This unit will run off of two fuel sources which will make it great for Camping and Outdoor work. I am pleased with the Transfer Switch Connector as I do plan to connect it to my home in the event of power outages. Well worth the wait.

First impressions on my new Westinghouse generator

I unpacked and assembled my new generator today. The instructions were clear and assembly was easy. The package had all of the needed tools and parts - everything but the gasoline. The generator starter pulled easily and it started on the second pull. I don't have many hours on it but am looking forward to using it on my farm.

Easy instructions

I just received this generator two days ago. The instructions to install was very easy. All equipment was supplied. I have not been able to use it yet. The box was a little tattered at the bottom but was secured by the zip line. The price was good. I’m excited about having it since I live in Florida.

Easy to use!

Every generator does the same thing... provides power, some stronger than others but all in all that's it. So I wanted to focus my review on other aspects such as build quality, ease of use, and the manual. First the build quality: this is a sturdy machine made of quality materials. It performs every task its advertised to do without any problems. It is a bit noisy but with it outside and me inside you can bearly hear it. Ease of use: every switch, indicator, or fill port is clearly labeled making this machine very easy to operate, with that being said there aren't a bunch of switches to confuse you either. and if there's something you have a question on there is a detailed manual for anything you need, which brings me to my third point. The Manual: I am an aircraft mechanic, in this job we have to follow detailed manuals to get our job done correctly for safe flight. these provided manuals are laid out very similarly to the ones I use every day which make any questions, troubleshooting, maintenance, operation a breeze when reading through it. With all that being said I would defiantly Recommend this product to anyone looking for a good generator.
