So far I've only used it with propane to insure it's functioning and started right up on the third pull plugged a heat gun and worked great this generator seems to be functioning as it should. Unfortunately it came in all banged up from Sams club while the box was trashed I believe it was who ever emptied the oil to prepare it for shipping the frame is Bent, Dented, peeling, covered in oil and it looks like it was dragged around the warehouse very disappointed with the way I received this generator I'm just glad it functions like it's supposed to.

I bought this unit to replace a 19 year old generator that finally gave out. Looking for one that would fulfill what I needed at a reasonable price. After much searching and reading reviews I picked this Westinghouse model. It arrived within a week and was easy to assemble. So far I have not had to use it under load but, have checked the output and it seems to be perfect. Living on the Gulf coast, and it being hurricane season, it will probably get a workout sometime in the near future.

I was impressed with the size of the unit, smaller than expected and fairly easy to handle. Since I just received it yesterday, I haven't started it up yet but the instructions are very straightforward. I bought this unit for emergency power outages as the weather here in Texas has been very unpredictable over the last few years.

We bought this generator for our daughter to be able to run her sump pump in her basement during a power outage. It looks well made and my husband easily put rhe few pieces on the generator. Filled with oil and gas and it started on the first try. I think this will be easy for our daughter to use and also power a couple of lights.

I originally purchased a WGen3600 but discovered belatedly it could not connect directly to my circuit panel to provide backup house power because the little guy didn't put out 240 volts. My bad for not checking specs more closely when comparing different sizes and makes. So my new purchase is the WGen5300 that does put out 240v. I got another Westinghouse this time, rather than a competitor of comparable size, because I really like the small WGen. Like that one, the larger brother is rugged, easy to set up and operate. I especially like the electric start feature. Now, my power will never go out again.

I live near a busy intersection where people always seem to get into accidents damaging the transformer near my place. Power cuts out a handful of times a year and I need my meds to stay cold. Bought this to run when that happens and haven't had an issue since.

Our power was out for over a week and it was cold and miserable, I had enough and after thorough research I stumbled upon this gem of a generator, this is a total bang for your buck situation! This generator comes with everything you need and is powerful enough to run major equipment inside your home. Highly Recommend!!!

Arrived three days after ordering. Well packaged, but heavy. Not a one man job wrangling it out of the box and assembling. I suspended it from my tractor’s forks, did the assembly, added oil, and transported to work site. Assembling the wheels and feet was a breeze, and the needed 0.7 q of oil was supplied along with a filling spout. I’m saving that bottle to measure out the 0.7 a in the future. I’ve only run the generator twice, and the first was just a brief test to confirm that Volts, Hz, and use duration display was working. Later I put it to work for a couple hours, and everything seemed fine. What a relief to have battery start. I’m too old to be yanking a cord only to have an engine refuse to start. The generator does have a built-in trickle charger, but I doubt that’s enough to maintain the battery, especially after short bouts of use. I’m getting a small solar charger to keep the battery topped off between uses.

I bought this to power the refrigerator and some other essential items during power outages. I have not run it yet during an outage, but did a test run and it performed well. Please note that when you select 240V the 120V outlet does not supply power. Likewise, when you select 120V the L14-30R outlet does not supply power.The screen on the exhaust popped off when I started the unit the first couple times. I am waiting on customer service for a response.

This generator is lighter in weight but appears better built than my previous similar output generator. It's also significantly quieter while running - very important during household power outages. The remote starting feature seems pointless, because you still need to go to the generator to turn the battery switch on before starting. Overall, so far this generator seems well worth its cost.
