Good size for the price

For those in small towns who don't want to rely on a gas station having power as well, or maintaining a 5 gallons of gas ever several months, the ability to throw a standard propane tank on this unit is super convenient. Plus a propane tank is easier to deal with if a user does not have a truck bed to haul. I love having the option to do either.

Perfect for my needs

I needed a 220v generator that could run my well. My previous generator only supplied 120v and this was the smallest generator I could find that supplied 220v and also used dual fuel. I love the fact that it has a remote and electric start which will make things easier during a longer duration power outage. It's even better that it uses propane because I don't have to worry about fuel spoiling. Propane never goes bad. If there was one negative it's that I had to get one that was so large. I only need 2-3000 watts but being a larger unit this will never have to rev up to supply what I need.

Excellent So Far

I just finished putting this together and starting it up. The instructions were simple and easy to understand, and it's out there running through its break-in period right now. It started on the first pull, first time! Amazing! I was expecting to have to pull the cord at least twice! Nope. I am looking forward to using it to plug my RV into here at the house, 'cuz where I park it there is no shore power. Also, since it will generate 240v, I am going to have an electrician wire a plug for my well pump, so when I lose electricity during the coming apocalypse (just kidding), I can plug it into my generator and still have access to water. Good deal, Westinghouse!

Feature packed for the price!

Living in Texas I've experienced 48 days of 100+ degree summers, and 2 consecutive winters with weeks of sub-freezing weather. In 2021 we lost power for 6 days in 8-10 degree cold. I won't face those conditions again without a power source, and this one checks all the boxes! no more freezing days or sweltering nights for my family!

great product

We purchased this generator prior to Hurricane Ian. We live in Southwest Florida in Port Charlotte. We used this product daily for 7 days, running 10 hours a day. We powered kitchen fridge and a power strip. The power strip was used to charge phones and run fans.

Well...

We bought this item and it works good. We got a card with our product that if we leave a good review we would be sent a cover for it for free!! What a great deal. We left a review and never received a cover. I know it's no big deal but to me, if you are wanting a good review for your product and offer a "reward" for that then you should receive it...a man's as only as good as his word!

Great price and easy to use!

I got this as a backup for increasingly frequent power outages. If you follow the instruction manual closely you'll be up and running pretty quickly. This is my first portable generator and I'm very pleased at how easy it is to start and use. I plugged a few different things of various loads and it was able to handle them with no issues. If you're not familiar with generators, definitely take the time to read the manual--you'll be glad you did. :)

Worth the money

I purchased this generator for the peace of mind when our house loses power. We live in an area with really bad storms and tend to lose power quite frequently, last time a really bad storm hit we lost power for several days and lost was lost due to it. I feel so much better now that I have this generator. It was easy to assemble and the instructions are very well written and easy to follow along.

Perfect for a simple home back up generator

This unit came in a few days late but Lowes has been having issues across the board with their trucks coming in anyways but no big deal! Came in in perfect condition. Got it assembled and ready to start up in maybe 20 minutes. Started right up on the 2nd pull! Very happy with it so far. Did a test run and it will run my tankless water heater(don’t have it hooked up the whole time just when we need to shower), ran both my deep freezer and refrigerator, along with tv/wifi and a nice fan we got from Sams Club. Did the job. Hopefully i wont need it anytime soon but when the time comes where our power goes out again, ill be ready!

Excellent generator for RV

We bought this generator for our camper and planning on using it for the first time this weekend. Of course we tested it out in the backyard first on light loads since the camper is at a storage facility. It seems to perform very well on propane, keeping in mind if we need to run it for heavier loads, we can use gasoline. So far we are thrilled with this purchase and the price was unbeatable when compared to similar models. It's heavier than I thought it would be, but this thing is solid. I'll take solid and a little heaviness over cheaply made products that will not last. It's not super quiet, but not obnoxiously loud either. Overall we are extremely satisfied and I will come back to add on to this review after we use it for our camper, if allowed.
