Great generator

Purchased during hurricane Helene aftermath, no power so far 8 days. It’s got great power, really more than we needed. I like the dual fuel option, we used propane as we don’t care to store gasoline around the house. My only complaint, which is why it got 4 stars is that it is not easy start… I had to have my neighbor come and start it for me each day as I just had a hip replacement and could not pull the rope hard enough to start the generator. It took 10-20 pulls to get the thing started but once it was running it did its job.

Easy to set up and use.

I very much appreciated the labeling and instructions that came with my generator. I found the info/tags easy to follow. Assembling the wheels/legs was a snap. Plus, I was able to quickly fill the unit with oil and gas and it was running in no time. I even ran it on propane and got a "charge" out of doing that. Great product with a well thought out documentation packet! BTW, the generator package looks great and is smartly designed with controls, etc. right where can see and/or access them. I like the on-board volt meter- a real hot item for my engineering side. Plus, the "pop up" handle is slick. Now, I am ready to use it during my next project or power outage- and my wife will be happy since she will have power at home. When the "wifey" is happy, everybody is happy.

Great generator

Manageable weight for an old guy, 130ish. Minimal set up, two stabilizer feet with 2 screws each a wrench comes with those parts. Wheels easy to attach with an axel bolt, washer, and a cotter key. Oil and funnel supplied. Add gas or LP, a couple of pulls and off we go. Great for the essentials.

love the dual feature

I purchased this a month ago and we had a horrific snow storm. It saved us a freezer full of meat! what I love the most is that it is easy to maneuver being on wheels and that it has the feature of using either propane or gasoline. This was the best purchase I've made i a long time.

Generator - Terrific!!

We bought this product several months ago and it has never l Let me down I!!!!! My husband is on the road a lot and I am able to use the pull start on my own...old lady-ish and all!! lol The peace of mind I have now is so reassuring, especially when I'm home alone. We live in an RV and the power goes out quite often, unfortunately. Thank you Westinghouse!! I will be purchasing an upgrade from you!!

Versatile

I like that I have the option to avoid gasoline. Propane is cleaner, and I don't have to worry about it going bad in storage. I had some difficulty starting the generator for the first time. I watched a YouTube video that demonstrated the choke position in the opposite position that the owner's manual suggests, and the machine started right up. Now I'm waiting for the inevitable power outage.

Difficulties with Fuel Source and starting

We have had this unit 2 years. It has been used maybe 10 times. After the first time using the unit it would no longer work with Propane. We have used it with gas, however, ee got it out to prepare for a hurricane and it starts, but will not continue to run.

Great for the price.

This generator was better than expected for what I paid. Plenty of power to run what I needed. It was a life saver to keep my refrigerator, and window A/C running when the power went out in 100 degree weather. Not to mention the convenience of being able to use gas or propane to run it. Definitely no regrets with this purchase.

Great Product!!!

Bought my new generator after my last hand- me-down on did no start this hurricane season. Easy to set up and it started the first try. Love how it can be powered by gas or by the propane tank on my BBQ grill. I have even used it to power up my pop up camper with the 30 amp plug.

Great Unit for a Great Price

This is a must have if you live in an area with an unstable grid (i.e.- Southern California in the Summer). Our power went out during a time when we were hosting friends, and this bad boy allowed me to cook on two electronically controlled pellet grills while charging all my portable devices and running outdoor lighting. I recommend it to everyone I know.
