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.

Dual Fuel for the WIN!

We purchased this is preparation for hurricane Ida. Loved it's smaller size, but it is powerful enough to run our freezers if we are without power for an extended period. And easy set up!! Excellent instructions. But the main reason we chose this unit was the Dual Fuel option. Being able to use propane is huge! Gas pumps don't work after a storm, so no gas available. Propane is abundant after a storm. Will revisit this review after this event and let y'all know how it goes!

Great Generator

Bought this generator to use on a piece of property that has no electricity. I already have a similar Westinghouse generator that I use at my home if the power goes out in the winter or summer and have really been pleased with it. Therefore, decided to get another Westinghouse generator. Easy to operate.

Quality at a discount

I just bought this generator and I’m very satisfied with it so far. At this price I really didn’t expect the quality I got, I half expected something flimsy and oblong. The best part for me is the propane option. I don’t expect to run it often, so not having to worry about gas going bad and gumming up the carb is awesome.

Portable Compact Gas/Propane Generator

Compact Generator with long running hours on small amount of Gasoline or using clean Propane. Easy wheel set-up and light-weight to move about. Much easier to move than the previous generator. Very pleased. No electricity for over a week. So, the generator is a much needed item.

Quit and easy to start

Just unboxed, put oil in it, connected lp tank and pulled cord. Nothing happed. After several more attempts still no luck. It appears choke instructions are backwards. When I changed choke position it started on first pull. Very quite generator and runs very smoothly.

Great Options

Love all the options with this Generator. Multiple plug types and optional fuel is great for our camper. We don't dry camp often but power was an issue one time when we almost ran out of gas. We left a day early to prevent this and having this unit could have got us enough time. One feature I wish these or any other generator had is a tube that routes draining the oil as it is always a mess. No matter how you try to prevent it, oil just seems to get on something and makes a mess but placement of the drain or a tube that routes to an open space would definitely help and be a big feature for someone to make the purchase.

Good combination of features!

Unloading the box was the only hard part. Assembly was easy. Instructions are clear and simple. Please do follow the break-in/maintenance suggestions so that this guy can be in top shape and ready when you need it. I like that it has ample output to run a portable A/C, fans, lights, fridge and probably other items. Being dual-fuel is fantastic. I will likely run gas exclusively but having the option to fall-back on propane is a luxury.

Great for emergency use!

I love in Texas and the recurring power outages have been rough. With pets that require heaters in the winter and food items that need to be kept cold in the summer we need something to cover the times when power went out. This generator cannot power out home AC, but it absolutely can run all of our actual necessities when called for. The dual fuel option is great, dice I almost always have a half tank of gasoline and a couple of propane tanks in hand when needed. Highly recommended!

Excellent value great quality

I bought this unit because I trusted the brand : Westinghouse. When I received it my trust was confirmed. This unit is extremely well designed and assembled. A plus is the included tool kit , oil and special spout for the oil fill. All you need is fuel to run this unit. It is a customer friendly unit.
