Ease of operation

Electric start is great for those cold days. Large wheels for ease of moving. Well built and and quieter than my previous generators. Smaller size makes it easy to store. CO2 sensor and low oil indicators make for safe operation.Built in RV and 5 prong connectors are very convenient. Would definitely buy this product again.

Nice Unit!!!

Only had it for a week , so far running good , I do like the toggle display , which prompts codes that are almost right on , like when oil is needed to be changed , gas cap is loose, only thing is I think the starter on the unit already froze , or a bad connection , I'm having to use the pull cord , which is not bad at all , an old lady can pull it to get it going , thumbs up for that ...!!!

Very User Friendly!!

I bought this product after power outages from a few recent storms. I have two very small children and this gives me relief knowing I can keep electric, heat, or other items running and provide the best for my kids. This is a must buy to reduce panic when power goes out.

Best insurance I've ever bought

I am a senior, retired man in a rural area, in a total electric home. Power goes out at the worst times and I don't like cold and dark. I've not had to use it yet, but I face the winter with no worries, for a change. I don't know of a more reliable name to trust than Westinghouse

Well designed, easy start, runs well

What I like: Love the remote and push-button start! Really impressed with the design - everything is well thought out and well made. Generator runs smooth once warmed up and auto-choke turns off. The included oil-fill spout (screws into oil inlet) is a nice accessory. Manual and operation instructions are very well written. What could be better: Manual choke lever is a bit small, somewhat tucked away and not easy to find first time especially in the dark. No information is provided for battery trickle charger that is included.

Comes complete, only wheels and footers need to be

we have medical conditions that require 24/7 power. The Westinghouse generator meets our needs. If the power goes out, all I have to do is wheel the generator new the outlet, plug it in, and press a button to start the generator. It couldn't be easier. Excellent purchase!

Lifesaver!!!

Purchased days before Hurricane Milton came to Tampa, just in the nick of time! Has a 120/240v option which is amazing and the dual fuel option also amazing especially with our current gas availability. We had an electrician wire it up to supply our well pump with power! I've never been to happy to do dishes! Easy to operate everything is included. Our 2nd Westinghouse generator. Couldn't be more pleased!

Great features and easy assembly!

Received this generator as a gift from family. Assembled the feet and wheels in less than 15 minutes. Read the instructions. Set it up for starting by the instructions. Put oil into the crankcase slowly until it was filled to the mark. Connected the battery leads. Added gasoline to the tank. Gas valve “on”, choke “on” pushed the start button and it started running immediately.!! Choke off, and it registered 122 volts on the display. Could not have been any more simple. It starts every time with no issues at all. Love this generator.
