Best generator I ever owned

Purchased 1-28-2023, I’m hooked up on a 50amp circuit. It’s enough to power my whole house and my garage. Best of all, I love the duel fuel option. It’s full of gas and I currently have 2 five gallon propane tanks so I’ll always be ready to put my power back on with a flip of a switch!

Very nice unit

I bought the generator to have an available power source after big storms come through. We have 5 homesteads across the metro area, and sooner or later one of us will be without power for an extended period. Features are great, and I have run one long test run without any issues. Everything worked perfect. Very happy with this purchase.

Great value high quality

I purchased smaller model years ago in Florida for hurricane backup after much research and was extremely happy with both the quality and how quietly it ran. Because of our previous good experience with the Westinghouse brand of generators and with all of the added features that are on the new models there was no question about purchasing this model.

Remote start too!

While I just bought this a few days ago, I have tried it out a couple times. And wow is it nice. Push button, and remote start! Now my wife can use it if Im at the fire station. Im also having a 50amp receptacle wired into my garage and fuse panel so this bad boy can power whatever I will need when the power goes out. Its very easy to get this ready to go outta the box. Put wheels and legs on, add oil, connect battery (already fully charged), and it fires right up. Im so glad I bought this generator, Im actually looking forward to the next power outage!

True Powerhouse

I bought this to run just about everything in the house, and it will. It is quieter than my previous 6000 watt generator. Based on the reviews, no should be disappointed. A nice touch was including everything you need to assemble and start this gem, except gas of course. Should last many, many years.

Piece of mind for a rainy day

We got this to help keep critical parts of the house powered during loss of power. Pros: like that it came with oil and a properly shaped funnel to fill the reservoir. It is also nice that it came with a cord to keep the onboard battery charged so it doesn't die between uses. Cons: would like for the generator to have a load meter so we can easily see how heavily it is loaded. Other brands we have used included an easy to read load gauge.

Good value

Relatively easy to set up. Push button and remote start work well. Only design flaw so far is that the muffler blows right onto the tire making the tire get hot. This was reported to Westinghouse and is a known issue but we were assured that the tire would not melt. Have not had the opportunity yet to run this during a power outage but we have high hopes.

Easy to assemble

Received as a gift. I have had the generator about two weeks and haven't started or used it yet. Easy to assemble but I tipped and supported it to the front (muffler side) to install the wheels and support feet rather than to the side as the instructions implied. Appears to be sturdy and I am anxious to try it. The only drawbacks I can determine at this time are the locations of the oil filler neck and the manual chock which may prove awkward for an older individual.
