Small, but powerful!

For a text run, I plugged the unit into our rv, and it powered the air conditioner just fine. Added a front set of wheels so I can tow it around our property and use it anywhere. Not as quiet as the "higher-priced" models, but not so loud that our neighbors have complained.

Love it

Love the fuel flexibility, remote and power. A little heavy/awkward for one person to lift into/out of the back of the truck but I'm getting a ramp so it'll be super easy. Barely an inconvenience. A little louder than others in the campground but definitely ran everything we needed. Coffee maker, space heater, fridge, water pump, & lights. If microwave was used while heater and coffee maker were on high cycles it did overload but the remote made it super easy to recover from what was my mistake.

Ready for hurricane season

First time buying a dual fuel generator. Living on the Gulf Coast a generator is an essential need. Last hurricane knocked out power for awhile so having propane backup is great. Tried it first time with propane using electric start and fired right up. Smoothed out after a couple of minutes run time. Not as loud as my old generator either! I'm confident this will be a great temporary power supply for fridge, upright freezer and a portable a/c unit. Will alternate them to not overdo things

Compact Size and Low Noise Level

We had researched a lot of different generators prior to selecting the Westinghouse WGen3600DFV. We compared reviews, value, wattage for gas and propane, noise level, size and weight. We really liked all of the features that this one had. There were also a lot of really good ratings. We like the smaller footprint size of this generator to easily store in our garage. We also like the ability to use gas or propane. Plus, the other advantage is that the weight makes it easy to move around. When comparing this generator with others we chose the Westinghouse for the size, total wattage, and sound level. Another key factor in our decision was the weight since many competitors were just too heavy to lift or move. We also ordered the wheel kit separately and installed it. For the wheel kit the washers for the wheels were a little thick for the cotter pin to slide in so my husband substituted the washers with a slightly thinner one and they installed perfectly. One key point when unpacking is the LPG/propane hose with regulator is tucked up by the engine so be sure to check under the frame for it when you unbox or before starting. Overall, we are happy with our purchase and plan to order another Westinghouse generator.

Very Economical Generator with a lot of Features

I like the features on this generator; electric start, remote start, dual-fuel. Jury is still out as far as how it works. First day not able to get it to run on gasoline, still trying to diagnose. Propane worked fine. Battery was completely flat upon receipt. Other than that I'm hoping I'll be able to resolve those issues.

Easy unboxing and set up, so far so good

I received this generator last week and it was very easy to set up and get running. It came with all necessary tools to get going, and even oil to fill it up. If running on gas, remember to turn on the fuel before trying to start it. The main reason I purchased this for was for a travel trailer, and I could start it with the remote start from inside the trailer. There is a little delay when using the remote to start it, but it works. Will be camping with it this weekend and this should make it much easier. This was an affordable unit with the remote start feature, that is also dual fuel. I will likely use it only on gas, but the propane is nice to have as well.

Quality product!

I bought this generator a few days ago. I haven't used it yet but it looks like a high quality product. I've purchased Westinghouse products in the past and have had no issues. I've watched many reviews and all were good! Looking forward to putting this generator to use.

Like the remote start / stop

Moved to north coast Massachusetts. Big nor'easter took out power for a couple days. It was a "Heads Up" to be prepared. Being able to run boiler & pumps of our heating system is essential if this happens in winter. Studied needs of boiler/pumps & refrigerator, ie. the essentials. 3.5kW is more than enough. Looked over makes/models, availability and price. For back up power, there is no certainty if/when it will be needed, so this is not a go-overboard investment. Just survival and home protection. What I liked about WGen3600DF: The remote could be real handy, particularly if I put the generator by the shed way out back. Dual fuel a must: I will prefer propane over gas- much less to think about in readiness, maintenance & storage if I go with propane. What concerned me: The manual is not very straight forward compared to other brands. Some of the maintenance gets into "are you a professional mechanic?" (no). Also the detail steps to start and stop are hands-on, yet the convenient FOB clearly is not. Is that a problem? Oil filling had to be done carefully, and I found out it gobbles up about a full quart. Hands on: I ran it up first time today. It worked well. The FOB was pre-paired and operated the generator easily from 40 yards. The generator won my confidence it is ready to step in when we need it. Lucky timing... Electrician is coming this week to overhaul house electrical panel. Good opportunity to wire in a couple extension cord style transfer switches for furnace & refrigerator circuits. When time comes I need this, I don't want to sort thru the manual. So I made a one-page cheat sheet covering Anticipating Use, Start up, Intermittent start & stop (by FOB), Formal shut down. Tie wrapped that to the generator.

Only tested but so far so good

Great value. Runs just as loud as the compact inverter generators especially if you consider you need to have two to get the amount of power this single generator delivers. The push button start actually works which was a surprise my wife thought that it would not. I plan on using this for camping in our RV.

WHAT A MACHINE!

Finally spent the bucks on a propane/gas generator and worth every penny. Very quiet for its size and power. Easy start up and awesome tool kit that comes with this generator. Looking forward to seeing this machine perform. Not awful for weight also.
