Good Features

After having a generator that was fairly new not work even though I used good gas, I’m thrilled I can use propane or gas. I think the propane will keep it clean and ready to start and use. It’s bad when you think you’re set for an emergency, only to find out you’re not. Great generator. I’m ready now.

Great Generator that checks all the boxes

We just bought this generator and it is a charm. Cranks easily, runs very well on both gasoline and on propane. While seeming to be a more compact generator (compared to our old one that has less power) this one has quite a good amount of power for everything we would need to use it for. All in all, extremely satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend!

A easy to assemble and use portable generator

I bought it a few months ago and I thought it would be difficult to set it up. It is a surprise that it has easy to follow instructions. I was able to set it up and get it up running. When the very first power outage happened, I was able to hook it up quickly and power my house. I am happy with this purchase.

Worked Great for 1 Day!

Bought this generator to replace a unit I have had for over a decade, followed instructions, Five hour break in period, everything worked fine. next day, half the electric went out and machine was running rough. Going to need to contact customer service. Will follow up( if possible) after machine is repaired/ replaced..

Will update

Worked great first time, Helene, with no issues and ran for 6 hours on propane, still had some propane left when power came back on. Went to start up in the aftermath of Milton and nothing. Called support and said it sounds like battery. Went to place to charge battery since no power and after light turned green brought it back and tried starting up, nothing... Went to check battery and dead again after only being unplugged for 10 minutes tops.

Works great.

I bought this to run my camper and my welder, and it works great for both. We camp for 2 weekends a year off the grid and I had no problem running my 30A camper a/c and 2 air compressors blowing up intertubes. Also ran for almost 12 hours on a tank of gas.

Quieter than expected! easy to operate.

Bought this in Apr, 2020. Quieter than I expected it to be. 1/2 day operation on 1 refuleling is nice. quick flip from propane is nice. Emergency start on propane while I run out to get 5gal gasoline allows ease for emergency power without storing flammable fuel just in cae. As an amateur radio operator involved in emergency communication, this allow for lots of equipment with different electrical lines spread out.

Defective new unit. Took 2 months to get resolved.

My brand new unit never started. Called tech support and after some going back and forth, they had us bring to a local shop. The shop could not get it fixed after getting 3 different parts from Westinghouse. Westinghouse then sent a new unit which arrived completed damaged and had to get returned. We finally have a new unit 2 months after initial purchase. It works on gas so far. We haven't tried the propane functionality yet. There is instruction that comes with the unit telling you to call technical support instead of returning to the store if there are any problems with the new unit. In our case, it would have saved us a lot of time and Westinghouse a lot of money (they were out the shop fee and 2 additional generators) if we just returned it to the store and bought a new one. All in all, we spent hours between calling Westinghouse, calling the shop, and travel to and from the shop. I contacted Westinghouse about any compensation for the inconvenience and have not heard back.

after one year

After shopping around I settled on this generator due to the power and features needed to use both with the RV trailer and in power failures. Now since I have had a chance to use this product to power the trailer and house I can review this product. I have found this generator to have good fuel capacity. It was easy to start in cold January in Michigan, as well as warm temperatures in May. fuel economy was impressive. fit, finish, and compact size was also good. controls were easy to reach and folding handle and wheels made moving it around easy. Generator would require two people to lift. It was not noisy and did not walk around due to its smooth running and rubber feet. Oil fill was not best location but generator came with a funnel. just go slow with oil.

Love The Dual Fuel Aspect

After researching, I purchased this Generator because it had just the right wattage I was looking for and the dual fuel aspect was very appealing. The only issue was the frame had a cosmetic flaw that did not hinder its operation, so I decided to keep the generator because it would be more of a hassle to return that was worth it. So far everything is working as advertised.
