Great Features

Easy to set up. Heavy but easy to move around once the wheels are on it. Awesome features. Love the dual fuel option, the push to start and the remote start options. The outlets have nice rubber covers for protection. I have a Generac HomeLink manual transfer switch system so I'll be connecting this Westinghouse generator using its L14-30A. outlet.

GREAT FEATURES, QUALITY AND EASE OF SETUP

I purchased this unit a few weeks ago. First impression was great quality. Well built and thought out for ease of use and startup. The instruction manual is very good and easy to understand. Initial startup was complete and running in 30 minutes. All of the features are well arranged on the control panel. The dual fuel is a great option to have in the event gasoline is not available due to loss of power in the area. This allows you to have two fuels available for longer running times. The ECO mode is good in that it operates the unit in a fuel conservative mode extending run times. The size of the unit is easily managed considering the output capacity. Other units of this size are much larger and heavier. The additional output plugs will allow you to run the unit on lower current systems and still be protected from overloading circuits. The price is very competitive as well. A good value for all you get in an emergency open frame generator.

Great product, User manual has a few issues

Only have about an hour run time but certainly working as advertised! A couple issues with the manual: Unless I missed it the duration of the break in period isn't clear. The other issue is a random statement (page 15) about manipulating a "lock knob" that doesn't exist.

Great generator

I brought this due to recent power outages. It has enough power to run my entire home which is what I wanted from a generator. It is loud (reason for 4 instead of 5 stars) similar to a lawn mower but I think that is the trade off to get the required power to run a home. Overall very happy it has a lot of options for powering things and the electric start is a great feature.

Great features

Bought this generator a couple weeks ago due to occasional outages in the area winter or summer. It was easy to set up. Just install the wheels and feet. They even give you the oil to put in the engine. Plug in the battery and ready to go. The manual is easy to read and understand. There is a 5 hour engine break-in time stated in the manual which is good to know before using it. The machine is not overly loud. Probably what you would expect. Two different fuel types and three ways to start it. How great is that! Remote start works as intended. The control panel is easy to use and has an information readout for run time, frequency and trouble codes. There is plenty of power to run the house. I'm kinda hoping to not need it but if I do we will be all set and we'll taken care of. Thank you Westinghouse for such a great affordable whole house generator!

best product for the price

I just bought this a few days ago. I did alot of research for a portable generator that I can power my house with . I think its the best bang for your buck , its dual fuel, comes with battery, wheel and handle kit, has a fuel gauge, battery charger, comes with oil and a little tool kit and and a key fob or remote start

very good generator

I like everything about this generator except one thing; I am running my entire house off this and so using the outlet to the far right it is almost impossible to plug-in the power cord that runs to the house because of the position of the plug. It is situated directly above the wheel in the cord that comes out of the plug that plugs into the generator does not clear the wheel. If they had rotated that outlet the plug would go in just fine without being obstructed by the wheel.

The boss

Arrived very well packaged so no damage. It's heavy so have a boxcutter ready to slide out on to a rug but after that it's simple to assemble.Just had to install the feet and wheels. The battery connections were already screwed on so that was 1 less thing I needed to do. I was pleased with the size and construction of the tires. I put the oil (provided-use the entire bottle) and the gas in and it started right up. It's a beast for power. Little louder than I expected but if power is out I figure the neighbors will have their own generators going. Electrician installed a transfer box and set up my breakers for what we will power up when needed.

Ease of set up

I cannot rate the performance of generator as I have not yet fired it up and tested however, the ease of set up was amazing. I am a single woman and was able to follow the instructions and get wheels and base installed in a matter of 10 minutes. I will be firing it up tomorrow to see how it actually works, but was pleasantly surprised that I was able to set up on my own. Living in south florida and with the predictions of upcoming hurricane season, I wanted a backup generator to my generator. Now I have two in my garage and hopefully never have to use either, but it’s definitely peace of mind.

Hurricane ready

We went through hurricane Ian last year in SW Florida and was without power for a week. We had my folks and my sister and nephews staying at our place and we were all stuck due to the flooding. No power means no water (we’re on a well). 9 people stranded in one home in the heat with no water equals a pretty rough week. Learned my lesson. Got a transfer switch installed in the home and bought this generator for home back up so that situation never happens again. The minor assembly was a breeze and I was very grateful it included the oil. No scratches or dings at all. Now…I wait for the next storm.
