Runs our RV and charges electric car with no issue

This thing is so powerful. We are living in our RV while building a house and needed power until the county would give the temp elec permit. We had no experience with generators and wasn't sure what to get, but we knew we needed something to run our 30amp RV in the middle of a HOT southern summer, power the 1.5hp pump for our well, and charge our Nissan Leaf. (Oh the irony of using a gas generator to charge an electric car!) This generator has done all that and keeps on ticking! We use the 50 amp plug for our RV (using a 30amp to 50amp cord), use the 30a plug for our well pump, and the 120v for our car. Occasionally you can hear the generator bog down, but it's never tripped the breaker. It HAS shut off a few times on it's own, but now we understand its nuances, have adapted our behavior and have only had one actual issue (will detail later). - The CO monitor is very sensitive, so make sure it has lots of air space. - It shuts off if the oil is getting low. We've had to refill oil twice in the 2 straight weeks of use. So keep a eye on the level. We use about 10 gallons of gas each day to keep it going about 22 hours/day. (We like to let it rest a couple hours if possible.) Going to have our propane hooked up to it by the gas company tomorrow. It is loud. We have 12 acres of land and no one around us, so we don't feel awful about running it constantly. But it is annoying to have that constant hum in the background. We have it as far away from our RV as the RV extension cord will allow, and we've set up a few sound buffers between here and there to help drown out the sound. So it's not awful, but registers at 59dbl. We've also set up a shade tent over the generator to keep the sun from beating down on it. Not sure if that's needed, but it makes us feel better. We just need about 2 more weeks of use out of it and then we can store it until needed as a backup generator for the house, should power fail in the future. But I definitely feel like it's been a great value and has been so reliable. The one issue we've had: the electric start has already given out. It seemed a bit touchy from the get go, but was reliable once we figured out how to push it just right. However, the last couple of days, it just clicks when we push the button and doesn't start. We've had to start using the manual pull. I've seen a few cases online where a quick warranty claim was needed for the switch; looks like there may be known issues with it. Will add my claim to the list. Overall, we've been extremely happy with this generator and would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Easy Assembly

I just received this generator and was pleased with all items supplied by the manufacturer. Good owners manual and clear instructions on everything but the oil level check. going to call customer service before operating just to be safe. Manual says not to screw in the fill cap to check oil level but the online manual says to screw in to get oil level. I put in the supplied oil and found it was not enough even with screwing in the oil cap. I'm sure this is something customer service can clear up quickly

Love the gas/propane flexibility

Just bought and haven't yet had a power outage, but have tested and everything works great! Easy to move with the wheels, despite the generator's weight. Love that we can keep a few propane tanks handy and be ready to quickly get the generator running.

Heavy duty and easy to start

Finally we got our hands into one after reading all the great reviews about it! Very sturdy and well built generator and I have no doubts it will last for years to come! No more pull start and love the one button start feature. Having the option to use both gasoline and propane is great. I will definitely recommend this to my friends and family!

Outstanding tri fuel generator!

My son gave me the Westinghouse tri fuel generator for Father's Day gift this past Father's Day, what a great surprise. I'll now be replacing my single fuel generator. I'm sure that it will be a reliable alternative for recreational and emergency use .

Awesome back up power

This unit has plenty of power to spare. Plugged into 50 amp plug and it will power my entire house in the event of a power outage. The noise level isn't any different from the little 3500 watt generator it replaced. Also a big plus to have dual fuel, I can store propane for a long time without any problems. Perfect storm generator

Easy set up and startup

Setup for generator was very easy with directions. Start up was smooth and flawless. Ran Gen for about 1 hour for break-in cycle on propane. Everything went great. Would had giving it a 5 star rating , but have not powered anything up. The control panel is easy to see and use.

Powerful performance

I'm very happy with this purchase. I have used it twice so far and its has powered everything we needed. I like the dual fuel option. Its somewhat noisy but I knew that from other reviews. I had a small issue with the automatic choke, and the customer support was great and help straighten out. Great performance and support at a reasonable price.

Good value, some quirks

Overall nice product that I've been quite happy with. Did have some trouble getting the generator to start the first time. I found that the amount of oil included in the bottle that came with the generator was not enough. Had to put and buy some more to top off the oil before the generator would run. Unit definitely requires some upkeep, and if you're from a younger generation like me that may be a bit daunting if unfamiliar with combustion engine mechanics.
