Great Features with high output and a great price!

I bought this a month ago after California decided to start shutting our power off for "wind". It starts right up and has enough power for my house and then some. What I really like is the option to use propane instead of needing gas to sit around and go bad if I don't use it for a long time.

Generator

I can only rate this product for the condition in which I received it.. It was not damaged coming out of the box, all the supplemental products were included, and the set up seems easy enough. Have not had an opportunity to run it yet .. but .. so far .. so good.

Just bought

I’ve yet to use this. I’ve been wanting to buy this for awhile but never got around to it. Hurricane Milton was coming and Sam’s was sold out. After the storm and loss of power I finally got it. We will have to wait until the next storm to actually use it. It seems to be well built all parts were in the box and it doesn’t seem damaged from shipping.

Novice Generator User

I bought this last month and had never had any experience with generators. Was amazingly easy to assemble ; directions were clear and easy to understand. Everything I needed to start things up were there (including oil!). Tested everything without a hitch; just waiting for the power to go out. Would highly recommend .

Has All I Need

I have only started it and it is in the break in phase now. I normally review after I've used it for some time, but they want this reviewed at registration. It has the features I want at the right price: dual fuel, G14 plug, TT30 plug, fairly efficient engine, and has wheels!

Excellent value

Excellent value. Great instructions. Went together easy (feet and wheels). Includes a screw-in funnel for adding the 10-30 oil (which is included). Started right up on propane. Ran the one-hour burn-in problem free. Will work perfectly in 240 volt mode (120 volts on L-1 and L-2) for our RV. Only negative is that the oil drain is located right over the frame, so to prevent a mess we will need to rig up some kind of "flume" (if you will) to direct used oil to a suitable container.

Happy with this purchase

I bought this to have peace of mind in the event of an emergency when power goes out. Luckily we haven't had to use it yet, but I am very pleased with our purchase. It has nice features and I like the dual fuel source of gas or propane. Whenever I test it, it always starts with ease. .

Very Disappointed

Ran the generator for a few hours just to break it in for the first time just after we picked it up Christmas Eve day so that it would be ready to use when we needed it. Seemed like we had no problems. We lost power a few days ago and went out to start it and had a hard time getting it started. I finaly got it started after about 10 minutes. Ran well after it started and plugged in to it . Ran it for about 15 hours with only needing refueled 1 time. After shutting it down and letting it sit for a few hours I went out to put the cover on it I discovered that I had a huge oil stain on my deck. I checked the dip stick and there was no oil in the engine! Called customer service today and was told to call back Monday thru Friday 8-4 and talk to a repair specialist. Very dissapointed after one use.

Wanted a portable generator a long time. Pleased

I bought this generator because it's a Westinghouse and was a very good deal. I prepped it as specified and it started up on the second pull of the rope. Surprised and very pleased. I start it up and let it run weekly, but have not had to use it for a power outage YET! Thank you for a great product.

Just what we needed

We bought this generator after the Texas Snow Storm of 2021. We have used it a couple of time for out travel travel. Nifty little thing, quiet and in our opinion worth every penny for what we have used it for. Now just waiting for either the next heat wave or snow storm to put it to the real test :)
