Love the remote control

The remote control allows us to shut off the generator from inside our camper, which is a great feature. The generator starts quickly on gasoline, but I haven't been able to get it to cross over to propane yet. Not sure if the issue is the regulator, or operator error since this model is new to me. I'll figure it out and update the review in a couple weeks.

Generator of my dreams

I’ve literally dreamt about this generator before ordering it when camping. It is so nice to hook it up and not have to leave the trailer to go out into the cold and wet Oregon mornings and night to start it. Packed with features and the remote start and dual fuel are the selling points I’m stoked on. Plenty of power. I also love the wheels and handles I didn’t know it had until I unboxed it.

Great generator power and quite

We bought this generator as we had a power outage for 5 days. It was super easy to use and start up, we have not tried propane with it yet, but it worked fine on gas with long time. It pulled our sub pump fridge and other appliances well and was quite and efficient. Let's just say husband's new toy is a hit!

Just received

I bought this unit for boondocking in our rv. After unpacking and reading the instructions, I connected the battery, put in the oil, hooked up the propane and it started on the first try. I am impressed with the general quality of the unit. It seems to be as quiet as advertised. I would definitely recommend this generator.

Everything as Advertised!

Purchased this unit in August and following directions, regarding adding oil and connecting the battery, I connected it to propane and it started right up.Ran smooth and quiet. I hooked it up to our trailer and it ran the A/C no problem. I have no doubt it will power everything in the trailer with capacity to spare.

Easy set up

Got this trailer camping. It was easy to setup up, except that the SAE plug on the battery had been crushed when I opened it, so I had to tweak that back into shape (round). Not a big fan of the oil fill/change method; you better hope you don't over fill by 1 milliliter, or you will have spillage inside the case. I put a folded shop towel in there to catch any residue, and I'm glad I did. Otherwise, generator works great, although the display is not rotating like it says it will. Good purchase

Nice Unit. Ran great in test run.

Easy to unpack and set-up. No damage noticed nor disconnected wiring as others have noted in their reviews. Ready to go except for adding oil, hooking up the battery, and adding fuel. Quick Start Guide (QSG) said to add oil until full. Manual said to add entire bottle of oil and showed a picture of full that doesn’t match the unit (opening is straight to side rather than angled up). Neither even mentioned the dip stick on the plug. So I slowly filled until the level hit the bottom of the threads on the plug port similar to the picture. The dipstick showed about halfway up the hashed area. So that seemed OK and left a little bit in the bottle. It’s possible the entire bottle could fit before hitting the high mark on the dipstick. I didn’t try it. They should clean this up so all matches and gives clear guidance. The QSG said to make sure the battery was hooked up. It wasn’t and it also was not secured in place. You could miss it but it was sitting on a rubber strap. I reseated the battery with strap over the top and attached the clip. Unlike the guide picture, the battery cables were already attached to the battery and there was just a quick connect in the line to push together. The manual does show that however. No mention was made of needing to charge the battery first so I didn’t. I hooked up a propane tank which was as easy as hooking up to grills, etc. Note that there is an o-ring in one end of the hose you need to attach. It can fall out, hence the plastic bag that came over that end. I currently plan to only use propane in it but nice to have the option and one reason I bought this one. The manual and QSG have other errors in them. There is no on/off “Battery” switch. There is a Run/Stop switch instead. There is no Start/Stop push button either as shown. It says ON/OFF on it with “PUSH BUTTON ELECTRIC START” under it. The two control panel pictures in the manual on p. 10 and 11 do not match each other and neither matches the actual control panel. It is significantly re-arranged compared to those pictures. While I noted various document errors, they were easy to figure out. However, I do expect documents to be correct. I only ran it once so far for an hour for check out and break in. It started right up on the second attempt. Probably need to get fuel in the line and air out on the first try. After that, ran like a charm. I did a couple of shut downs and restarts with the unit’s button and remote. Fired right back up each time. Slightly noisier than I had hoped but I think quieter than many others I have heard. Can easily converse next to it but can hear inside the house. My first generator so nothing to directly compare to other than neighbors’ units I’ve heard from a distance, some of which are very loud. Per the manual I only used it up to roughly half power for the break in period (first 5 hrs.). I hooked up to my chest freezer and varied some lights and small heaters on/off to change the load up and down. Always worked fine. Tried both 20 amp outlets and both USB ports. No issues noticed. Almost :-) looking forward to the next power outage to really use it. 5 stars for features and usage so far and minus 1 star from that for document errors.

COMPACT AND EFFICENT

we bought this item because we live in an area that seems to have a lot of power outages. we live in an apartment complex so compact is very important to us. This not only fits well in our space it also has an option to use propane , which is very handy.

Generator running rough second time on gas

Duel fuel runs great every time, second time on gas in first month runs very rough and will not smooth out. Contacted Westinghouse and they said take to a service center. Yea no one will service dual in 70 mile radius. Thanks for the help. Now what..? JUST RUN ON PROPANE????? .

Great Product!

I bought this at the end of March and received it promptly. Setup was easy. However, I can see how filling it with oil can become an issue, but the flexible spout that came with the generator worked well for me and I just tipped it over slightly (gas tank was empty). It fired up right away and switching between gas and propane works great and is also convenient to have. I ran it for a few hours while connected to my travel trailer and it worked well under the load, it was quiet from the inside. I fired it up again almost 1 month after the purchase and same easy start-up. One mistake I made, I tipped it over too much with the tank half full and some gas spilled. I let it dry out and it evaporated completely. It started up again. So far happy with the purchase.
