4 out of 5 stars review

Works about as expected.

Runs and powers a few things. This will keep my refrigerator and freezer going as well as lights and some small space heaters. Should run the water heater if I turn the refrigerator and freezer off during the process. Came with a broken spark plug boot (igniter kit assembly part #50100022), but may have been dropped in transit, as it seems an axle was a little bent, but I expect Westinghouse will send a replacement boot. It fired up right away once I glued and taped the boot together for a break-in run. Some LED lights in the house flicker with generator motor variations, but I expect you would need an inverter generator if you were picky about that. Some LED’s do not handle even small voltage variations very well.

Backup generator

I received the generator from UPS the outside of the package did not have any out of the ordinary damage. However, when I opened the package up I found that there was damage on the area that you pull the string to start the motor. I contacted customer support and they mailed me a new recoil and guard. I’ll pause to say that the level of support that I received from westing house customer service agent (once they called me back) was fantastic. The agent told me that it was very simple to install. And he told me that there would be directions in the box. Once I received the replacement part (there were no directions. And while it was pretty straight forward to do I know that my wife or mom could not have replaced the part. The replacement part had to be bent a little bit to fit correctly Once complete there generator powered up great. I ran it a while to break it in and hooked it up to the house and it ran all the necessary components. Only time will tell how the generator holds up. This will be used periodically to provide power in case of a power outage … and will also be used occasionally for my travel trailer. Thanks for an easy to use product My reason for the 3 star review is because there was damage but the shipping box was not damaged at all. This tells me that the damaged occurred prior to shipping. The quality department should not have let that go out the door.

Duel fuel

I just got this unit after having to leave my home for 2 days because of a snow storm, so I decided it was about time I bought a generator for the next storm and I espcially like the duel fuel capability. I looked on-line and the ratings were very good and there were so many I decided to go with yours. Honestly I hope it's one of those deals where once you buy it you never need it, but I'm pretty sure that is not going to happen. Westinghouse has always been a good product so that aided me in making my decision.

Great product!

Glad i purchased this! Its a little heavy to move before you put the wheels on but once they are on its a breeze to move. Got it out the box and put the oil in it and it fired right up after a few pulls. havent tried the propane yet but im sure there wont be any issues. Great product and a good price as well.

Reliable start, good power, and dual fuel option!

I bought this generator about a year and a half ago. It has consistently started and run great! At purchase the propane regulator was faulty, but Westinghouse was easy to work with and quick to send a new regulator which solved the problem. The generator has run great ever since!

Dual Fuel is the best!

I bought this in advance of an ice storm. I really love the dual fuel feature. When I use propane, I don't have to worry about gasoline getting old in the tank when I store the generator. Assembly was a breeze, just a couple of feet and wheels on the back. It fired up on the second pull and the digital volt readout showed that it was functioning well. We're ready for whatever comes!

Easy to use and affordable

I bought this last November for emergency use in case the power goes out in the winter. Winter of 2020 our power went out for the day while my youngest had a double ear infection my oldest had pneumonia and needing breathing treatments on a nebulizer and i was sick with a sinus infection. My husband woke me up at 5:30am to tell me the power went out sometime during the night and the temperature in the house was dropping and he had to go to work or risk being pointed. After that horrible day i decided to purchase a generator so i would never be stuck in that horrible situation again. Its a good feeling to know if we have another power outage me and my family are prepared.

Great Features

I got this model because of the dual fuel options. Having ability to hook up propane has added a great feeling of security. I primarily purchased to run my mom’s oxygen condenser during outages. It’s perfect having that extra margin of available fuel.

Perfect for my needs!

I bought this in preparation for hurricane season. Powers my 1HP well pump (most important) and lights, internet, OTA TV's, and refrigerators in main house and guest house. Basic needs covered. I had a 10,000-watt generator, but it was way too heavy to move around and used much more gas. I have a 200-gallon outdoor propane tank for a gas fireplace which makes the duel full feature great in case of extended power outages.

Fast & Easy Start with Propane

I was looking for a dual fuel generator since it's only used for emergency power outage. Propane connected easy and started on second pull. I did a trail run and everything worked perfect. Very quiet running motor for a larger generator. Which there was an outdoor case for it to stay out all year round. Wheels and handle design are nice.
