Arrived Early

I just received this and it came as expected actually came a day early which is great because we're in the middle of a storm here in California. I'm anxious to get it running. It'll be used to keep my sump pump running when our main source of electricity is out.

Easy to use and reliable emergency power

Bought this back in September 2018 and didn't try it until April 2019 during long term power failure. Was able to fill with oil & fuel without issue and it started on the first pull. Ran refridgerator, a few lamps, cell charger,and and a floor fan overnight, no problem. Great portable generator I highly recommend it.

quiet

I bought this in case the electric went off during a snow storm and I am very pleased on how well the instructions for use are. I have started the unit and it is quieter than I had expected. It is going to be able to take care of more than I had expected too. I used the fan on the heater and the coffee pot and refrigerator and it does not bog down at all.

Very Impressed

I feel so much more confident about Houston's Bi-Polar weather now that I have the Westinghouse Generator. Thankfully we haven't had to use it just yet but I'm impressed with the design and its build. Very heavy, so glad I got the one with the wheel package. I would highly recommend this Brand…

Wouldn't start on gas

This unit wouldn't start on gas. Called customer service and had to make repairs myself to the carburetor. I had to try and repair since I had no way to take to a repair facility do to my age and lack of a truck. I am not an engine repairman and you give your customers no other choice. Poor Quality Control.

Great generator

I live in Florida and have an older generator that needed to be updated. I researched many different ones and decided on this model. I did not realize that this model has remote star which works very well. I hooked up propane after assembling and putting oil in it and it fired up and ran very smooth. I used it to power a TV and a couple fans just to test it out and everything worked great, runs quiet also. Hope I don't have to use it, but feel a little better knowing I have a great little generator ready to go if I need it.

Backup Portable Power Source

Did a bunch of research and landed on this model. Ordered from big box and arrived quickly. Good packaging and everything was included. The instructions are lacking but you can overcome them with some common sense. Take a few minutes to review them as they will help some with familiarity of the generator.

Got me through Hurricane Ian

I bought this generator before hurricane season in a tax free holiday for backup emergency power. Good thing I did because we are now on day five with no electricity after Hurricane Ian. Been running it almost non stop without any issues. Enough power to run all the essentials in my home. Just remember to pick up a quart of oil because it has to be changed at the first 25 hours.

WGen3600DFcv review. great except for no wheel kit

I bought the WGen3600DFcv on 4/6/2024. The second day after delivery I checked; spark plug gap (no adjustment needed), air filter, oil drain plug and maintenance access in general. Open frame generators allow nice access for maintenance. After filling with oil and connecting a propane tank with the included supply line I had minor issues starting. The trick seemed to be to choke for a brief period when trying to start. I've only run the generator a couple of times and only with a heat gun for a load but it seems to work great. A bit loud but to be expected from an engine with less than 6 inches of exhaust. Once my tests were done and I knew this would work for me I tried unsuccessfully to order the wheel kit. Per multiple posts the wheel kit seems to have been out of stock for 2 years but also per posts the WGen5300 Accessory Wgen5300Dfc Wheel Kit will fit save the handle is 2 inches too wide. I've ordered that kit to see if I can get wheels on the 3600 and plan to cut the handle to the correct size. Aside from the wheel kit I'm very happy with this generator. I knocked off a star for the unavailability of the wheel kit.

Home generator back up power

After reviewing dozens of generators, focusing on fuel consumption, important dual fuel availability, push button startup, available wattage sufficiency for large appliances, price point, and name brand name Westinghouse, this seems to fit our needs as outlined. The built in battery charger is very easy to use and appreciated. Our only issues thus far have been the oil level dip stick seems to be awkward to screw in and the battery connections rear nut is in a very tight spot. We would certainly buy this product again, very pleased with it so far, but we have yet to test it under full capacities.
