Never worked properly

I previously wrote a positive review so that I could get the cover. We have only been able to get this thing actually going 1 time and only with gasoline. Its reasonably quiet and I thought it would work out great but I was wrong. 1- we specifically bought this model for its duel fuel capabilities. We planned on primarily using it with propane. When we tried to test at home it wouldn't work. It appeared the regular was faulty. We called westinhouse and they agreed to send us a "new" regulator. We had a camping trip coming up and thought ok we'll just use gas. Went and got gas. Tested it. Worked. 2- 2 days later we are boondocking and go to fire it up because it's 95 degrees outside and we wanted to run our small campers AC. Wouldn't start. After multiple tries it finally sounds like it's going to turn on but on the last pull the handle completely separated from the string! So now it's useless. We cut out camping trip short and drove 4 hours home early. Westinhouse agreed to send us a new cord kit. 3- we received the regular and cord kit in the mail. He regular was clearly used. Which isn't a huge deal, but it's annoying to be putting used parts on a brand new product. The cord kit was broken!! The cord was cut so that was again useless. They sent us out another and ita intact but it's not a straightforward fix. I'm not a mechanic I shouldn't have to take apart a brand new machine. I'm extremely disappointed that we spent so much money on a product that we have never actually been able to use.

Does Not Run on Gas Fuel

The unit doesn't run on gasoline. Runs perfectly fine on propane, just doesn't turn on with gas. I tried switching from propane to gas while running and it just dies after a few seconds. Something's wrong with gasoline fuel flow. I don't believe they do any quality test with gasoline since it never worked with gas right out of the box.

Great Portable Generator, Highly Recommend

I bought this generator to provide backup power to my house in case of an outage. I had an electrician install the necessary outside connections and an interlock kit on my electrical panel. I am running my generator on propane and to my surprise it started on the first pull. It is very quiet and I let it run for about a half hour as I experimented with running different circuits in my house. I am all set for hurricane season now!!

Super Quiet

I recently purchased this generator and am very happy I did so. One of my biggest requirements was that it was quiet and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The fact that it is dual fuel and starts easily is icing on the cake. I highly recommend this generator.

Good all purpose generator

I bought this mostly for power to recharge camper batteries and to run the camper AC when it's hot outside. So far it has worked great for that. It has the capacity for the bare necessities as a home backup generator also. You do need to be religious about running the generator at least every couple of weeks especially if your running gas with ethanol. Fuel stabilizer helps but you really need to drain the carb float bowl for extended down periods. I also run non ethanol gas only.

New generator

Just bought after a power outage. Only needed it for about 6 hours but it ran my refrigerator and a pump that circulates the water in my koi pond just fine. Didn't even put much of a load on it. No issues so far. Can't speak on durability yet but it operates as stated so far. Going to see if it'll run my furnace next.

Great Home Backup for the Money

I bought this for backup on frig, furnace fan, and lights, this will keep everything up and running until power is back on. At one time I had two units connected together and when we out of power for a week, I just switched from one unit to the next. This unit as the others is a gas saver.

Space Saving

I love this duel fuel inverter generator. I am a small woman and its perfect. Its easy to move around and takes so much more less space then your conventional generators. I live in Florida and this year I will be prepared when we loose power. Plenty enough power to run my full size refrigerator/freezer, portable A/C, electronics and lights. So happy with my purchase.

Great little inverter

Needed a portable power unit to help us at the construction site. WOW! This thing is simple, small and powerful! And it's EASY to start to boot! And love the info the front panel displays! So much better than what we used before! Would highly recommend this unit for anybody needing portable power. THANKS!

Works well in both gas and LP mode

Haven't had it long enough to give it a thorough review, but so far works well and handles the loads I have put on it (sitll within the 5 hour breakin, so have not put it at full load). It does require a couple of minutes of running before applying load - if you load it up too quickly, the engine simply stops running. Not a bad self protection feature, since the engine should be warmed up before putting it under load.
