Good generator

Generator was packaged really well. Came with oil and a nice little funnel to fill it. Also came with a small tool kit to put it together I have tool to put it together so I didnt need it but that was a good little thing to see a company that is willing to spend the little extra for people that need it. The voltage was 121 and hz was 62 so not that bad for a gas generator. I really like the duel fuel option and it ran really good on propane. Over all a good buy for a back up generator to keep the freezers and refrigerators going.

Can run on propane and connect to electric panel

I purchased this combination fuel gas/propane model primarily for backup during a power outage. I plan to use propane so I don't have to bother with gas, fuel stabilizer, etc. And having an extra propane tank around is handy for the grill too! I also chose this model because I plan to get an interlock installed on my electric panel and connect it right to the panel. I did start it up and let it run for 20 minutes or so on propane. It took several pulls for the initial startup. Note that you do need the choke on regardless of the fuel type :-) Only plugged a few small tools into the 120 receptacles just to try it out so haven't run it under much of a load yet, but it seemed to run fine/evenly.

Started Right Up

After a minimal amount of assembly and adding gas and oil, this generator fired right up. My worm drive skilsaw had more than enough power to do the job. I also noticed the quietness of this generator. Looking forward to many years of service with it. Priced right too.

Smooth Running and Reliable

I purchased this generator based on all the excellent reviews and because of the Westinghouse name. I'm very happy with my purchase! I keep this generator as a standby in case of power outages, and run the generator on propane to avoid all the hassles with gasoline storage. This thing starts right up every time - I test-run it frequently. No electric start needed. The generator is very well designed (in the USA) and I'm very happy with the quality even though it's not manufactured in the USA. I'm an electrical engineer by profession, and I recognize quality when I see it. This unit is much more quiet than any of the competition I've owned, and it runs very smoothly even with a significant load. My recommendation is to get at least one of the Westinghouse models now before rising inflation eats away at this great value! This purchase is very smart considering how US electrical grid infrastructure is becoming ever more vulnerable and rickety. Protect yourself with a quality backup generator.

So far, so good

Unpacked the unit, installed wheels and feet and connected propane tank. Fired up and ran for a few minutes. Then poured some treated fuel in the tank and ran it on gasoline for a few minutes. Didn’t yet apply any load but it looks like it’s ready to go for the next time we lose power.

They Thought of Everything!

this is a great generator. Wheels and handle make it more portable than my smaller generator. Oil and all the tools were included to get it going for the first use (only needed a 19mm Wrench to tighten the propane. Duel fuel is really helpful especially up here in the frozen North.

Excellent!

I plugged this unit into my home, and it ran all that we use, including the well, and the hot water heater. Keeping in mind that we didn't use the microwave, air fryer, or any other power sucking appliances all at once, but we never do. Quiet for it's size, and it's easy to maneuver when moving it around.

Great Product -Very Easy to Get Running

Packaged very well but easy to unpack. Very heavy so if you are a senior citizen I would recommend getting help unpacking and installing wheel kit. Put oil in generator, connected propane, turned choke on, turned switch on and generator started on like third pull. So for very pleased. Runs quieter than some the other brands my neighbors have. Definitely nice product. I bought it for home backup for power outages during storms etc. I feel confident it will meet my needs.

Excellent Insurance

I bought this two months ago and it started on the second pull. Performed the break-in run and it ran flawlessly. Now installing an interlock and inlet to power the house upon my next power outage. Most cost effective a generator I could find. My brother has had a Westinghouse generator for several years and he encouraged me to get this one. No more worries.
