Had an extended power outage and a commercial fridge that couldnt be out longer. Grabbed this and worked great plus have in case for the future. Only down side is this is pretty heavy even empty so be prepared and is loud which I expected. Ran on Gas but like the dual function

I bought this generator a couple of weeks ago and waiting for electrician to install a manual transfer switch to properly use in case of a prolonged power outage. So this review is prior to my actual usage. However, by profession I am a Director of R&D where I get to oversee design and development of numerous consumer products including portable welding generators. Will add a few preliminary comments: - I like the rolling bars on all sides as they really protect the generator. - the handle is foldable so that's a space-saver. - the engine oil filling spout is oddly placed and westinghouse engineers sure could improve it to avoid any spills. They also need to add an oil level indicator to avoid guessing. My only indication was the size of oil bottle that came with the generator. - Installing the castors is a little pain as have to tilt generator on its side to access the mounting hole. - Mine is a pull start instead of battery start. It started quickly but it is new and I worry when the generator becomes a little older and start requiring multiple pulls. In general, the design and look is very similar to some other on market but Westinghouse is a big name and that swayed my decision to purchase a portable generator rom them.

After assembling the feet and wheels I added the oil and gas to the generator. Upon turning the fuel to on, gasoline was leaking from the fuel line. There was a tear on the fuel line likely when they pulled the hose clamp on. I bought some fuel line from a local hardware store and replaced the torn hose. It's running pretty good. Also, the wheels could be better than plastic toy-like ones at this price point.

Bought to replace RV generator. After breaking in, I tested it by connecting it to the RV and running the 15,000 BTU A/C along with microwave plus coffeemaker and lights. Output on volt meter dropped by only one point. This should work very well for dry camping. Easy to start and easy assembly. Very pleased with my purchase! Already recommended this unit to my neighbor who is planning to purchase a generator.

I bought this generator in anticipation of a blizzard heading our way. I installed a transfer switch in my panel, unboxed the generator and followed the instructions, started her up and now we have heat, water, and lights! It's comforting to know that we have the option. Also happy that it is dual fuel. Great price and it worked great.

Bought this generator over a year ago and kept it in the box until today in preparation for a possible hurricane. After adding fuel and oil, the generator started up right away. After the break in period, I tested the generator, and everything works great.

Purchased after we had a very high water table in May and the sump pump ran every few minutes for two weeks. Wanted backup for it and a few other essential things. Haven't had the need to use it in an emergency situation yet but set it up and tested everything with good results. Easy to assemble, commission, and start. I purchased a 40lb propane tank to use with it and haven't tried it with gas. When the power goes out here it is typically only for a few hours. I'll keep a full gas can too, just in case, and have two 20lb tanks for the grill as backup.

I bought this dual fuel generator to replace an old gas gen that is far too heavy for me to lift into my truck to take to get repaired. Figured was better to just buy a new one than (never) get the old repaired. Love that it is dual fuel, just wish this model had a remote electric start. I also purchased a commercial grade 4-outlet extension cord that connects to the 240v output, since it’s really two 120v, that way I can put a high draw appliance or tool on each of the two 120v legs.

I bought this less then a month ago, I have been wanting to get one for quite awhile. After we lost power I decided it was time to bite the bullet. We got power back before I received it, our local stores were wiped out, so had to order online. Did open it and run it, everything seems fine. Runs pretty smoothly with both gas and propane except on a low idle with the propane, it seems to sputter a bit. Overall I am happy with my purchase. Not looking forward to losing my electric again anytime soon but if I do atleast I feel I am prepared.

Bought the 5300 watt dual fuel model a month ago and finally got to test it out. Assembly was straight forward. All tools needed for assembly were provided. 10w30 oil was provided; just the right amount. Very thoughtful that they provided a funnel to pour the oil. Following the instructions provided, I connected my propane tank to it. While most of the instructions were good, I wished there were more pictures to supplement the instructions. After starting the generator with about 4 pulls, it started. We plugged in a hair dryer to the 120V but it did not come on. Then I realized the generator was set to 240V. Once, I flipped it to 120V, the hair dryer came on as expected. Now, I wished the generator came set to 120V instead of 240V. Also, I wished the warning to turn off the generator before switching between 240V to 120V was shown earlier in the instructions. Overall, a decent dual fuel generator.
