Love the electric start on this generator

Great and well made generator. Powered right up with the electric start. During winter storm, we used this generator to power a space heater, refrigerator and charged cell phones! Do your self a favor and be prepared with this very reliable machine

Super easy to set up & start

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!!

Exactly what I was looking for . . .

I purchased this generator because of a recent ice storm that left us without power for days. I haven't needed the it, but I have checked it out and everything works exactly as it should. There was a problem starting on Propane but their support team figured out the problem and it should be taken care of next week. I highly recommend the product.

Just what we need….

After reading lots of generator reviews on many sites we decided that Westinghouse must have a great product. The generator arrived with a few dings on the frame but nothing too serious considering that the bottom of the box was ripped apart and wet with oil. The seal on the bottle of oil had been cut and oil was leaking from the cap. Now we need more oil before we start it up. It was simple to assemble the wheel kit and we are confident that it will be ready if and when we get another Emergency Blackout.

Looks good on paper

I am writing this review after one year of ownership. I am a full-time RVer so this is one year of steady everyday use including wintertime almost 24/7 running. it's not a bad generator for the money and it does power my 30 amp Travel trailer when I am out boondocking. My unit I have run the bageebers out of so when I say it a pretty good unit I mean initially! It doesn't live up to the claims in some cases so keep some of this in mind ... It is cold blooded, so if you are an altitude or cold weather camper/user keep a good supply of starting fluid around. A small squirt of fluid and it will fire right up. In any weather it has a hard time starting on propane so again keep starting fluid around. I don't use propane much because of decreased output and the fact I have been using it in colder climates. This is just a preference and not that I have experienced any issues beyond the trouble starting. All that mentioned above means your remote start is useless unless the machine is warmed up, if it stalls (overloads) it is easily restarted with the remotefrom inside the RV/house. It overloads at odd times. I have had it stall out while using a microwave and with nothing else running. The microwave is a 900 watt but it still shouldn't overload the generator when nothing else is running. It doesn't do it every time but often enough I felt the need to mention it. Don't let the Westinghouse name fool you. This is a made in China machine and parts can only be ordered through the online portal. There are a few shops that work on them but call and verify because the website lists "authorized shops" but my experience is that the shops don't know they're authorized. I had a bad carburetor on mine when I got it and it took a couple of months to get it figured out (hence the paragraph above). I finally got the part sent to me and was able to swap it out myself. I haven't had an issue since. I only run the furnace in the Trailer with it and led lights, so probably less than half load but it gets good runtime on a tank of gas. I was running it during the winter 24 hours a day on less than 2 tanks of gas. The low oil shut off has been a life saver. Running it so much I often forgot to keep up on checking the oil and so a couple of times it shutdown to protect the engine. I do like the remote, it allows me to shutdown the machine from inside the trailer at night during the summer months to save power. I can (most of the time) start it up in the morning if I need to also. On that note (above paragraph) if you don't shut the power off on the generator during times of no use the battery will drain and die to where the push button start won't work. Also when you push the start button the machine will continue to try and start until the machine actually starts. It is doesn't start the first 3 or 4 attempts the battery will usually die. It has a power on light and I think it drains the battery. The battery is also a cheap generic make so maybe a good name brand battery will resolve this. Swapping the power on light out for an LED light might also. Turn the power off if it is going to sit for more than three hours on a regular basis. For the price it is a good buy but just remember that you get what you pay for. It is not the trouble free generator you're hoping for.

Much needed power

I bought this generator for a project that my brother and I are working on. He was amazed that I (as a women) did such a good job at picking out a generator. He said that this generator has everything he needs. He immediately claimed the remote, and quickly put it in his pocket.

Great Emergency Power Source

I bought this generator to handle temporary power outages. Its compact and easy to store, operating instructions are straightforward and the features are exactly what I needed. Buying a Westinghouse brand product ensures that support and any needed parts are available. There are cheaper models from other obscure manufacturers but I believe its worth the small premium to buy a name brand product.

Easy to start!

I purchased this generator as I live in the boonies and power can go out when the wind blows. I'm a 60 year old widow and needed something that wasn't going to be too difficult to start. I received my generator, followed the instructions, filled with oil and gas, turned the switches and gave the cord a few tugs. It felt great when it started after only 4 or 5 pulls! I now feel comforted knowing I have power when I need it. I knew I could trust the Westinghouse brand!

Nice Generator With Duel Fuel!

I bought this generator for occasional power outages at my house. It's a really nice design, and the duel fuel option was a big seller. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who needs a smaller sized generator, and is worried about gasoline going bad

Nice unit

Assembly is simple, easy to operate, auto choke is nice, if the unit doesn't start, it auto cycles a few times until it starts, make sure gas is on. Received it a few days ago, haven't used it under load yet. I like the option of using different fuel. Very quiet.
