Just received it and started right up with propane gas. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that the enclosed oil funnel was broken up on arrival (likely cause was related to some damage to the outside of the box) and also a slight discrepancy between the "quick start guide" and the user manual. The quick start guide did not mention that the battery was not attached to cables and that the engine mount was partially blocking the ability to insert the cotter pin, as well as the battery was facing the wrong way. After following said quick steps I had to revert to the manual to remove one tire so that I could remove battery to connect the battery and reinstall the tire.

We have a ranch in Texas and last year we were without electricity for a week. We wanted to be prepared and also be able to us for work on ranch. I like that it uses propane and gas. I was impressed how easy it was to assemble and ready to use. We were glad we purchased.

I live in an off-grid tiny house and I bought this generator to charge my batteries when my solar panels are not making enough power. I have an Outback FXR inverter with a Mate3 controller. I setup the controller to automatically start and stop a generator. I had to make a simple relay circuit to interface between the generator and the inverter. The wiring schematic in the manual was accurate which made it possible for me to wire into the generator battery switch and start push button. I then plumbed the generator into my propane tank for my house and now my generator is completely automated. I don't have to worry about keeping a fuel tank full. This generator was perfect for me because it was dual fuel, electric start with auto choke, and the start push button made it easy to wire into my circuit. My generator has run 20 hours so far and no problems. The output power is high quality for running any electronics in your house. My inverter won't accept poor quality generator sources but it accepts this one just fine.

Just purchased 2 weeks ago. I live in SW Florida so we have power outages frequently. Yesterday was our first 3 hour one. Thunder storm and boom, no power. Was very easy to set up and get it up running. Then wake up this morning, no power. Very pleased with performance. I live in a Travel Trailer. This size was right. Thanks.

BOUGHT LAST MONTH AND I JUST TURNED IT ON TO CHECK IT OUT. ENGINE IS NOT TOO LOUD AND THE REMOTE START IS A GREAT PLUS! EASY TO SET UP AND ONCE THE WHEELS ARE INSTALLED YOU CAN TAKE THIS LITTLE 100-LBS BEAST ANYWHERE. I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY LIGHTS TO GO OUT SO I CAN TEST IT TO THE MAX!

Bought this Gene for my job. I live in the country and some new home builds don't have power yet. But the job needs to get done so this Dual fuel gene is the best thing next to boot. Westinghouse is the best for the Value and an American company to support.

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.

I was very impressed with the ease of assembly and the quality of the product. I had a competitors product that did not last and could not buy parts. I look forward to get many years of use out of this product. My neighbor came by while I was putting it together...he also felt the same as I do.

This was a christmas present from my wonderful children. The assembly was easy and all the parts were included. It started on the first try. My son helped with the initial startup but I have had no difficulty accomplishing startup independently since. Rolls easily on dirt terrane.

We needed to have some sort of power source after last year's freeze, so we debated for months and finally chose this one. We haven't put it fully to the test yet as we haven't had to, but it definitely runs and is relatively compact. I love that it runs on either gas or propane, cause we all know how the gas stations get during emergencies!
