Piece of crap

Piece of crap, it went through 25 gallons of propane like there was five generators hooked up to the bottle. I went out and looked at it and propane was coming out of the black part of the regulator. It won’t run right, when it runs, it might run for half an hour and then it surges and shuts down.

Quiet Power

We bought this inverter generator to power our camping trailer. At this time, we have only used it once, but it is so much quieter than our old generator it has made camping so much more enjoyable. The voltage seems stable and everything in the camper worked as it should.

A go straight out of the box!

I purchased this last month for the summer. Thought I would get it ready and running although I don't need it until April for my trailer. Followed the simple instructions, added oil and connected the battery and the propane hose and regulator. I took three try's to start as the propane needed to make its way to the unit, started and ran just fine. Off to a great start. If you are not mechanically inclined you still would have no problems unboxing and starting the unit. Beautiful, quiet and so easy to use. The remote start is key! Love it!

So far so good

Got it today. In process of filling oil dropped dipstick and it fell down under the floor panel. Because i’d added oil it made it way more difficut as tilting it would have lex to oil gushing out if the dipstick hole. Took a plumbing camera a lond of long curved hemostats and an hour of fiddling to retrieve it. The oil fill/change system is this thing’s achilles heel. Definitely not looking forward to the first oil change. Once that was done on to the propane. The regulator assembly is super big and a but clunky to have hanging off the bottle with its weight riding on the connection. Propane line is very short, necessitating keeping the bottle right next to the gennie. Operationally it was fine. Started right up, ran for 5 hours powering a big fan and an rv converter with occasional a/c unit power which is ultimately the reason for the purchase. And for that it appears it’ll do just fine. Will update when its got some hours on it of real world use. Thys far though it’s better than the pair of paralled Ryobi’s its replacing. They would often struggle just to light off the a/c unit, let alone anything else. While I cant fire up both the 13,500 and the 10,200 a/c’s (as least on propane) it does handle the big one woth biatloads of breathing room. Much quieter than the ryobi’s were as well.

Nice generator

The generator was easy to set up and get running. It worked well for us when they had to shut our power off to upgrade our breaker box. It started right away and didn't have any issues. We ended up having to run it for about 10 hours, and it hummed along nicely. The noise level was nice, and was barely audible through our closed back door about 15 feet into our back yard. We plan to use this mainly for camping, but also for backup power for our fridge in the event of a power outage. It so far has worked nicely for us.

Started right up

I saw many reviews about issues with the choke and starting, so I crossed my fingers when I pushed the start button, but was pleased when the unit started up immediately. I ran it on both gas and propane. Running in ECO mode worked fine, with the unit adjusting according to load. The only problem I had was during setup where the battery hold down strap was lodged back by the oil filler location as you can see in the photos. After I fished it out it was a real chore to get the battery strapped down. The battery location and access are very poor design, no thought to maintenance. I have large hands and it was quite a job to get that strap connected. Anyway, so far so good. The real test will be when we have an outage.

Excellent design!

Purchased this generator to run power to our living quarters horse trailer. The quality is excellent and it purrs like a kitten and quite as a mouse. It powers everything in our trailer with ease. Love the remote start and dual fuel option. Great job Westinghouse!!!

Great features

I bought this prior to a cross country trip in our travel trailer, “just in case.” I ended up needing it twice while on the trip. The unit was quiet and easy to run. The remote start was also great so I didn’t have to get up in the middle of the night to get it going!

So far so good!

I just unboxed this product and fueled it up - after watching a quick Youtube video, I was able to connect the battery, add the oil, and get it started! I plugged it into my camper and was thrilled to learn that it was able to power everything, including the AC, Fridge, and Lights at only 50% capacity. Very happy with my purchase and looking forward to taking it camping this weekend!

DOA

Would not start or run properly out of the box. As others have mentioned, the choke was defective. The small connector controlling the stepper motor was disconnected from the circuit board inside the unit. Required removing front, rear, and left side plastic panels to access circuit board (bottom left front of case) and dislodged connector. 2 hours work. Apparently a common issue. Manufacturer should secure connectors better. Ran fine after the fix but louder than expected.
