Surprisingly Quiet

Bought this generator to stay hurricane prepared and have been impressed ever since the first pull, which started it right away. This generator is surprisingly quiet and runs great on propane or gas. Currently have it hooked up to two large chest freezers without any issues. 10/10 would recommend!

Easy to handle

I was intimidated at first in operating a generator but this Westinghouse generator was easy to use. I like the features that is has in informing you when an oil change is needed and the maintenance log that comes with it. I am confident it will do the job when the need arises. Great price for a dual generator!

Very easy to use

I bought this in anticipation of hurricanes SW Florida. Did not open the box until September 2024. Hurricane Helene was on its way. Following instructions were easy. Started as stated. Plugged into house and was able to run essential things, 2 refrigerators w freezers, ceiling fans and lights. Very pleased.

Solid Generator with many options

Overall a solid running and well build generator with multiple connection types and options. Purchased in an era of power company shenanigans and unexpected blackouts this generator will be a saving grace. In addition to backing up household power it will be used for mobile production support and lighting events. The dual fuel ability is greatly valued as the price of gasoline tends to fluctuate with the season and economy. Plus having propane as an option will be useful for travelling and camping. Have not tested with propane yet. As for noise level it not too bad running around 68-70 Db on gasoline which is reasonable for urban and isolated uses. Hoping for a quieter runs propane. Not sure if this generator is compliant for RV park and BLM land usable due to the noise. Multiple connections options on front including L14-30R 120v/240v, TT-30R 120v, 5-20R 120v. Planning on purchasing L14-30R to 5-20R adapter to expand standard household outlet capacity. Hoping this unit will be able to run a 120v/240v MIG Welder but have yet to try. Should be fully capable of supporting a reasonably sized RV or trailer. Minor Cons: No electric starter which is minor, the unit is heavy weighing in around 100 lbs taking two people to lift, and larger when compared to similar generators. These cons are generally not a problem when you consider the function and dual fuel capacity. For the price point as purchases these cons are easy to dismiss in favor of the pros, features and versatility. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a reasonably priced generator and as a backup to household and general contractor needs. For RV and Trailer usage consider noise requirements, overall weight/size and start/stop ease before purchase. Nonetheless would purchase again and will see how it runs with more time.

Great Back Up Unit

Bought it to protect my Fridge and Freezer when the power goes out. More than enough power, so can use with other appliances. I am single, so wanted something small enough to move myself and enough power to keep everything running (except HVAC). I had a small hole drilled thru my wall so I could keep all doors closed when running the unit. Simple to put together. Nice, heavy duty wheels. I purchased the adapter (generator) cord with the three extensions on the end. Then I purchased the needed extension cords for each major appliance so I wouldn't have to keep moving them. I am no going to purchase the storm cover for when in use (outside, of course) so it doesn't short out. Would recommend this be an available add on.

Easy to Use

I purchased this generator for use during hurricane season in 2020. It was great being able to use it for the first time during Winter Storm Uri when our power was out for almost 3 days! We were able to get some relief from the cold by running a space heater, charge laptops and cell phones and make coffee. My only regret is not having enough fuel to power it for more than a day!

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.

Great size for my needs

I bought this last month because an ice storm was coming and I wanted a power backup if the electricity went off. That didn't happen but I have tested it and it works great. I also needed a generator over 4 000 running watts to run a small welder and this was just the right size for me. I would recommend this item.

Great Value For The Price

A few years ago we lost power for over a week during the big freeze in Texas. The cost in food that we had to throw away was more than the price of this generator. I'm grateful to have the sense of security that my family (and food) will be protected should we experience another freeze.
