Great Generator

Just started it up for the first time. Followed the starting directions and it fired right up, third pull. I'm impressed with how quit it runs. It get even better when you switch to eco mode. Its light weight, so its easy to move and that is a real plus for us old guys. Also the panel lighting works well for me as most of the run time will be at night. appears to be well built.

Great mid-sezed generator

My brother in law has one and I borrowed it during a long outage from a storm. I knew I had to have one and ordered right away. It fired up just right - on propane, play with the choke a bit to get it to start. This unit won't power a whole house, which is fine with me. I just want to save our fridge, freezer and hot water baseboard heating system. In an event of an outage. This unit is small enough to carry, and doesn't take up much space. 10/10

Inverter Generator

This model was suited for my application as a backup for specific appliances with electronics inside: it was light enough to carry easily, used propane, had variable speeds so it is likely to run overnight without needing refueling, and it was made by (for?) a reputable brand. It was expensive compared to some less familiar brands, but in an emergency I do not want to risk using unreliable equipment: portable generators are dangerous enough when they work properly!

I've only broke it in, but it's a quality machine under a heavy load it's pretty loud, microwave or vacuum cleaner, both was overloaded just the camper fridge and lights was nice and quiet wish it had the data center that is advertised in the write ups

Great features

I bought this because of it's 30 amp outlet, light weight, and quiet. This is great little generator. I didn't realize it also can show fuel level, volts, running hours, and led lights to light up front panel. Also tool less removal of side panels. Enjoying this little generator.

Better than expected

I bought this generator to use to charge the batteries on my boat. Needed something quiet so as not to disturb the neighbors. Everybody commented on how quiet it was and wanted to know where I got it. Ended up buying another one to hook and parallel to run the house in case of power failure

Generator Won't Start - DOA

Received the generator. Followed the quick start guide, added the supplied oil, added new gas, turned off ECO mode, turned vent cap on, set the choke, pulled about 20 times on the recoil pull cord. No start. Did not turn over. Set to run and everywhere in-between and kept pulling the recoil cord but engine would not turn over at all. Checked the spark plug. Appeared fine but completely dry. Drained the fuel out of the carburetor, appeared the fuel was getting from the tank to the carburetor. Opened the carburetor, ran compressed air thru the fuel injector. Put back together and refueled. Still could not get to turn on. Opened the front panel. A two-wire black and red connector was disconnected but did not appear to attach to anything upon inspection. Everything else appeared fine. Put front panel back on. I think I got a lemon. I'm going to try Westinghouse support and see where I get.

Great value

I wanted a generator that was small, portable, quiet, and nimble. This one allows for gasoline or propane, which offers flexibility. Great for camping or powering a few things in the house. It came with everything I needed to start it. I think it would be tough to beat for the price if you just need something to power an item or two.

Exactly what I hoped for

Even though I have only used the generator a short time it is performing very well. Setup was easy and it starts with two pulls, runs strong, and handles the tool loads well. I love the ECO mode as noise is much less than my other generators. Data display is great for checking operation and hour meter is nice for keeping the maintenance schedule. Its better than I expected and count on it lasting a long time.

Great little dual fuel

I am pleased with the generator, work great on Eco mode, powering my refrigerator, freezer, TV and media, as well as plenty of power on the main mode to take care of any other household needs in the event of a power loss just what I wanted and with the dual fuel, I don't have to worry about the carburetor getting gummed up on propane.
