I bought this a while back for emergencies. Didn't open it up right away so that was my fault so battery died so I had to jump it so it would start. The problem is I had difficulty starting it with the pull string which sort of defeats the purpose. But once I got it started it worked like a charm

After much review and investigation, I decided that the Westinghouse brand was the best option for me. Also, the 5KW dual fuel was important. I plan on using it both with our Casita trailer and as a back up power source at our home. After unboxing it, the directions were clear once you get past all the "safety" language. I have two suggestions for the manufacturer: 1. I live in Texas; we use imperial numbers. If you are going to print measurements with the metric system (ie. oil needed is 0.6 L) add the imperial number in ounces as well. Had the oil that came with it not had 0.6L on the bottle, I would have had no idea of how much oil to add without going to the internet for a conversion. 2. Extend the throat for the oil reservoir so that it is closer to the side of the unit. Even with the provided funnel, it was hard not to get oil both inside the housing and on the floor. Easy fix is to extend the oil throat.

From warranty info and registration paperwork to a replacement parts list and even an oil drain hose!! This thing comes with everything! So simple, so effective, and so worth the money. I won’t have to worry about insufficient power anymore from my old generator. This does all I need and more.

I love mine. The power is very clean and will run the expensive electronics and alot of what's sold won't. Also the quietness is special. Sitting on deck with sliding glass door shut we don't hear it in house. Starts easy and runs great after 3 years. DF is a blessing as well. I got one for my daughter and son in law 6 months before mine and they're very happy as well. I purchased an EcoFlow battery backup with solar panels and this generator and feel like I made the perfect decisions, you would too.

I bought this generator in early November and everything so far , from arrival condition to unboxing to set up has been flawless. The set up instructions were easy to follow and the quick start guide allowed me to start the generator both on electric start and pull start on the very first time. Everything looks sharp and it is well constructed. I could not be happier with this unit.

I am super bummed about this purchase. I live in Colorado and the generators need to have hearts installed to compensate for our high altitude. Unfortunately, Westinghouse does not allow you to just order the parts. They require you to request for the parts, but they are so overwhelmed that they cannot fill your request anytime soon or answer any phone calls. So my 30 days to return the generators if I don’t think they will work is coming up quickly and I can’t even try them out. It would make more sense to just let us order these parts online.

Purchased it for it for power outage and hope that I never need to use it. That being said, I am only using propane. Instructions were good and easy to follow. Started right up and ran for about 40 minutes so far. I tested several items and will run later toward fall after I do a little more research for possible main panel hook up.

Bought this generator for its inverter function and compact size. Not too heavy for me to move around. Tried twice, worked with dual fuels. Still has a bit of low capacity to carry 3 portable heaters, a fridge, and routers/computers. 'll see in the wintertime.

I bought this in July for a backup and to use around the place. Has sat on the covered patio since purchase and have run a little while every so often just to test. This month (4 months later) when trying, cannot get it to run on either gasoline or propane. Had an older open fram Westinghouse generator that I loved, so had high hopes for this one as far as noise level and capacity.

I bought this Westinghouse 5000W generator specifically for our travel trailer, and it has been an absolute game-changer for our camping trips. What I love most: • RV Ready: having the 30amp outlet (TT-30R) built right in means I can plug my RV directly into the unit without fussing with dog-bone adapters. • Remote Start: This is a luxury I didn't know I needed until now. Being able to start the generator from inside the camper early in the morning to make coffee—without going out into the cold—is amazing. • Power: It easily handles my 13,500 BTU air conditioner and the microwave simultaneously without bogging down. I mostly run it on propane because it burns cleaner and I don't have to worry about the carburetor getting gummed up during storage. If you own an RV, this is the one to get.
