Great generator for the price.

I bought this because I was tired of dealing with the power outages everytime there is a small wind storm. I got this model because it gives me enough power to run my refrigerator, sump pump, lights, Air conditioner or hear when needed. It also uses both gas and propane fuel so if we have another hurricane that knocks out the power and gas stations aren't able to pump either from not having power or not able to get a delivery at least I can still buy propane canisters and refill them giving me options. You will need 2 people to put this thing in your car and bring it home in the box. I did find out it was easier to get out of my van with it out of the box. As of yet I haven't experienced any major power outages so use is limited. But this item comes with a 3 year warranty so I think I'm safe as for this generator lasting.

Great Emergency Backup Generator

I bought this generator so that I could have the flexibility of gasoline or propane to recharge my DIY home battery bank. Everything works as expected. Once I figured out the instructions the generator started easily on propane with just a couple of pulls. Ran my battery chargers just fine.

Easy to use

My first time using a generator. Frankly, I thought it would be troublesome and it’s not. I do have to say, it was a bit heavy to move, But once I installed the wheels it was easy to move around. The instructions are very simple to follow. Once the oils and fuel was added. Only a few pulls if the recoil is what it took to get the generator going. It truly saved the day. I was going on 8 hours without power and the refrigerator wasn’t going to hold much longer. I am very happy I have the generator

Good value for the money

I tried to break-in the motor on propane but it wouldn't start so I just broke it in with Gas. I called customer service about this issue and they were prompt in getting on the issue. I haven't tried running the propane since breaking it in with gas but I know the warranty will fix it regardless so I'm not worried about it.

Needed for Another Power Outage

This was a dual Fuel, tried a new propane tank i had for my grill. Only last 8 Hours and 15 minutes. After that i switched to gas, was getting close to 14 hours on one fill up. Not sure if this one can do it, i've not found any instructions, but would be nice if i could adjust the output voltage. A bit louder than the one i've used in the past, but would recommend, for its ease of use.

Great generator especially living in Florida

I bought this for the hurricane season to be ready just in case a storm knocks power out. The fact that it gives you multiple fuel options really helps in case you run out of one fuel. With the amount of wattage, you can power multiple high wattage items. As for noise, it's a generator. The only way to get a semi quiet one is to get the smaller lower wattage ones. I hope to never need it for a worst case scenario but it's good to be ready.

So far so good

I just got this out of the box and set up. It started right up on gas and ran everything I plugged into it with out slowing down. I have not tried it on propane but I have no reason to believe it will not perform as advertised. It is noisier than expected which is why I gave it 4 stars.

Was very easy to set the machine up!

This is my 1st generator. There were a lot of brands to choose from. We finally picked the Westinghouse generator. It was easy to add the oil and gas. It is easy to crank up and run. We ran it during hurricane Milton with no problems and feel comfortable we picked the right generator.

Came As Expected

I was very pleased to receive the generator. It was packed well and 99% assembled. It's feels very sturdy and is very heavy. All good things. With the wheels and large handle, it's easy to move around. We have not ran it yet to test it but I assume it will be fine as it appears very well bit. I'll provide an additional update when I've had some time with it.
