Love the electric start

AT my age pulling the recoil start is becoming a challenge. When a power outage hits I need the backup from this generator to run an oxygen machine .Love this electric start and it worked fabulously on the initial usage. Also the wheel kit that comes standard makes it easy to roll outside when I need the backup power. In addition this is the first generator I have purchased that comes with not only a tool kit but the motor oil needed to set up. Very happy with this purchase . Looking forward to many years of service

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.

Great Generator

I brought this home today and assembled it. Easy to follow instructions. Added the oil and connected a propane bottle. Started right up. Plugged in my 5th wheel and turned on the 15,000 btu A/C and it handled it with no problem. Turned on both TVs and the microwave and it ran all. Great generator!!

Clean power

I bought this right before hurricane Ian to power our refrigerator and lights, but didn't need it. I hooked up a propane tank to it and powered it up to test out. It started right up with the remote, and was quieter than our previous generator. I plugged in a space heater to test, and both worked fine. It was nice not to have to deal with gasoline and its associated storage problems.

The right amount of everything

Bought this mainly for my camper but it also works for many other situations including power outages at the house. Use it to power a blow up screen for movies! Love the dual fuel options and options for starting the generator. Just the right amount of power!

Exactly what I needed

I live in my motorhome in a remote area in California that has power outages periodically. My onboard generator in this older motorhome has quit working and the cost to fix it was too much. This generator being dual fuel was just what I needed and the power output is almost equal to what I had. It's easy to start and quieter than I expected. So far, I love it!

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.

Great Layout of Features

I just purchased this model to power my refrigerator and any other home appliances (low wattage) including my television during California power outages. With this much power I can add other devices as needed to keep things going at home. The control panel is easy to understand and includes outlets for 120V AC 20A, 120V AC 30A twistlock and 120V AC 30A travel trailer too. Very satisfied with this product.

Just purchased, can't wait to use it

I purchased the generator and it arrived in less than a week. I unboxed it and all the parts were there and nothing was damaged. I live at high altitude so I needed to purchase the high altitude kit. I would recommend calling customer service, they gave me the exact part numbers that I needed to order as it was difficult to find it on my own. I will update after I test it out.

Such a modern and convenient Generator

Everything included in the box except for the fuel! The remote start was already paired, the oil was ready to be put in! Started easy, the computer would try to start it several times, then when the fuel got to the Carb it started right up. Started and used it several times today, put loads on it, worked perfectly!! Runs my 15Btu A/C unit on my large toy hauler with lights, fridge and fans on!! No issues, didnt even cough! Besides all that, it LOOKS fantastic!!! I know, not a reason to buy one, but it is a great looking generator to boot!!!
