Worked Great - Easy Setup

Bought it after a storm to be ready the next time...ended up using it for some home improvement projects instead of dangerous runs of extension cords. Worked great out of the box, started quick the first pull, and even came with the tools to put it together.

Easy peasy

I just bought it and it is extremely easy to set up and the instructions are very simple. The only thing I wish the would do is every time they say” don’t do this or that” explain why or what will happen if you do. After set up I did just like the directions said for setting up one of the two power sources ( gas or propane ) I pulled the start 1 time and it started right up. I do wish this model had an electric start though. Very well built.

Everything I expected

I bought the Generator a week ago and it was delivered today, a week before the scheduled delivery. The directions were very good and I did not have any trouble installing the wheel kit. The generator started on gasoline with the first pull and I ran it for about an hour without any load. The shipping box did not show any damage and I was very pleased with the delivery.

Seems Good Overall

Bout this a month ago, product was shipped to my house. Product box was heavy, so heavy in fact that the postal delivery service just chunked it in the driveway. Despite damage to the box, the generator itself was pretty sturdy, and unpacking proved that no real damage to the unit occurred. I added fuel to it, started it up per instruction and it was humming in no time. Tested the poweroutput which was stable and what I bargained for. Haven't tried the propane feature, but it comes with the hook up for it, so pretty much all you need is the tank of propane. It uses normal 4 cycle 10W30 oil, a whole can of it. It looks well built and sturdy, has a handle for ease of use to tote around. My only complaint is it does not have a GFCI switch on the 120V plugs, this would have been an added selling point for this model and would have been icing on the cake. Sadly, only other way more expensive models had them, so boo. Other than that it seems to be working as intended.

Great Dual Fuel Generator

So glad I got this generator. After hurricane Beryl went through Katy Tx, We were without power for 5 days. Our local shell station ran out of gas, so i used my 2 propane tanks which powered my house for a day and a half until we got to fill up our gas tanks!.

Issue upon first use

After opening my package everything looked and felt good. I got everything install, and was ready to fire up my generator. But, it didn't happen. My recoil handle went limp, and I couldn't generate enough power to fire up my generator. I am highly disappointed with my product.

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 Generator

Bought this generator for our camper and as a backup for our house. So far used it for our states southern fair and county fair and it has performed just like it should. The run time exceeded my expectation on a tank of gas. Recommend to anyone showing animals or wanting a well priced generator.

Makes Electricity!

The key thing is that it works, and it makes electricity when needed. I love the dual fuel feature, but so far have never used anything but propane. It takes a few pulls to get it started (likely flushing air out until the propane gets to the engine). I got it as a backup after the issues with the Texas electric grid. But, it is handy to power electric tools at the far end of the property where it is too far to realistically string extension cords. I haven't had a generator before, but now it seems like something that I don't want to ever be without.

Love the dual fuel feature

This is my second Westinghouse generator. Both have performed flawlessly. It’s very easy to start and runs very quiet. I’m powering two 30 foot campers on my hunting property. I love the fact it is dual fuel. I recommend this generator to anyone that has a need for one.
