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.

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.

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.

Really liked the dual fuel (will usually run on Propane), remote electric start, and convenient hookups. Started right up after adding oil and gasoline. Will backup our solar system at our vacation home. Great price and warranty. Believe we will really use and like this unit. It is our third one and the best so far.

Product supports around the house power needs including a detached workshop. Starts easy and the remote start and stop comes in handy when distanced from the generator. Dual fuel is a clear advantage when sourcing fuel supplies. Noise level is acceptable and periodic maintenance requirements easy to perform.

1st generator, just wanted one for short outages. Arrived fast and undamaged. Started easily on LP and Gas. Excellent manual and items included (funnel, oil, wrenches etc.) Have not run it under a load yet. Only 4 stars because it has no hour or voltage meter and no simple way to drain gas from tank to store it. But a great price. Great fit and finish!!

We use this to charge out batteries in an off grid situation. Now we don't have to deal with gas, or going outside to start and to stop the generator. Had it plumbed to a 250 gallon tank, so we don't have to deal with portable propane tanks either. Had to have 10 PSI from the tank to the generator shed, then used a normal low pressure (11in water column) regulator from there to the generator. Works fine generally, but pulses/revs for a few minutes on initial start up. Not sure why. Hopefully doesn't lead to major malfunction.

I have only had this item for 1 day. The reason I didn't give 5 stars was because when I opens the box the positive battery cable had come out of the terminal sleeve. Had to add a new one. Other than that I put the wheels on, added oil and fuel. It started right up. Ran for 1 hour to break in without any problems. Would have given 5 stars if i didn't have to mess with the battery. I am excited to use on our travel trailer and happy to be prepare for this years hurricane season.

We purchased this to keep our sump pump running in case we lose power which happens during summer storms. We needed a generator with dual fuel capacity and a push button start because I am unable to do a pull start. This generator was the perfect fit for our needs and has the features we wanted. Great product!

I LOOKED AT A LOT OF GENERATORS AND DECIDED ON THE WESTINGHOUSE 3600DF AND I'M SO HAPPY WITH IT IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND IT'S A LITTLE QUITER THAT THE LAST GENERATOR I HAD AND LIGHTER TOO AND BEING DUEL FUEL MAKES SO MUCH BETTER I'LL BE TELLING ALL MY RV FRIENDS ABOUT IT
