Simple and Smooth

This generator was extremely simple to setup and to get running even for a 75 year old. Pull start is the only thing keeping this from a 5 star, however the pull to start is buttery smooth out of the box. Cannot wait to run this through the gauntlet this summer with my trailer camper on trips with the grandkids!

Easy start

Only just now started once and it was very easy to start but haven't really used item yet. Probably give 5 stars once I have some real world experience but item seems sturdy runs well and has 30 I'm needing for our camper. Love the option of dual fuel especially for a great price.

Great generator, love the dual fuel!

Generator is nice and compact. Lighter and quieter than expected. Rolls around easily, even on gravel. Starts on first pull on propane. hook up is easy. All the controls are easy to see and access. Runs my RV air conditioner with ease. So far, this generator has exceeded my expectations.

perfect size and like the added feature of dual fu

I purchased this for inclement weather issues and have not had to use it yet. However, I did add gas and oil and then checked to see that it would start. It started right up and ran smooth and quiet. I am sure that I will not regret the purchase of this Westinghouse generator!!

Works as needed during power failure

Bought this generator a month ago before a big storm, and it is working great. Very easy to start, operate, and with the dual fuel feature, gas and propane, it is a great convenience. The unit has plenty of power, so operating multiple appliances in my home is easy. I am very delighted with my purchase.

Some initial startup problems but a good machine

To be honest, some first time startup problems. First pull on the starter cord and it jammed when retracting. Wasn't a terribly hard fix but had to remove the recoil assembly and shorten the cord by tying an extra knot in the end. Had to look at a YouTube video first. However, someone with no tools or experience might not have been able to do the fix. I bought it because it runs off of propane and I had hoped to not put gas in it at all and thus not worry about gas stabilizer or draining. However, I could not get it to start the first time out of the box on propane. I put some gas in it and when I switched to gasoline it started fine. I was able to switch while running to propane without a hitch. Haven't as yet tried a cold start with propane now that it's run a few minutes. Otherwise looks well built. In addition to the dual fuel I like that it has a CO2 sensor that will shutoff it off if needed. Could truly be a lifesaver.

Quality Insurance Policy

I bought this because we have frequent power outages at the lake. I like the dual fuel and it has enough capacity to do what we need it to do. I haven't had to use it yet, but I'm glad it's at the house. It has a good build quality and I'm happy with the purchase.

Verified Purchase

Bought during hurricane Beryl and saved our bacon

We bought this during hurricane Beryl and saved our bacon (well, after we lost our groceries). It runs fairly quiet (neighbor was impressed), powered our fridge and charged our battery backups, and ran smoothly. the only odd thing is that it starts when the choke is in the middle, but not in the on or off position.
