I bought this for home back-up and it was better than I thought it would be, it was easy to assemble and had it running in no time. this is easy to monomer and can be stored easy. I would buy again and will recommend to a friend. the dual fuel is a big plus for me, you can switch from one to the other with ease. great buy for the money

Easy setup and love the remote start.

Easy setup. Added oil and fuel and it started right up. Remote start works great. The battery maintainer is very useful since it may sit for weeks unused. Bought this generator to run the whole house during frequent power outages. And it does no problem.

Worth every penny!!

I don't know why I waited so long to purchase a generator. I work in healthcare and usually spend hurricanes at the hospital. We are not usually out of power for too long because we are on the same grid as the fire department, but one of the last big one left us without power for almost a week. My 80yr old mother lives with me and no longer can be left alone for long periods of time. Our house is only about 950 sq ft so I am having a connection put to the house so I can run the a/c, refrigerator, tv, water pump since we have well water and some lights. It is just her and I and the animals and I was able to get it out of the box and put the wheels on, put the oil in and the fuel. It started up with the first push of the start and runs great. The original delivery time was going to be like a month but it was delivered within a week which was wonderful. I am very happy with my purchase and very glad my mom and I will not be left without some amenities, especially with how hot Florida has been this year like a lot of other places.

Started right up, needs parts not included

I fired it up on propane and powered some house circuits. It started with no hesitation. The manual is bit un-organized, mixing warnings, setup, and operating instructions. Discovered I need to buy extra parts for operating at high altitude (above Denver) but the parts are not available.

Better than expected

Living in a rural area we sometimes loose power, this really has an impact on us because with out power we don't just loose electricity but we also loose our water supply seeing how our well does not operate. Hence the reason for our purchase. I spent days researching generators and Westinghouse won hands down. It was so "simple" to to get this generator online and in use. Our generator has the capability to power all our appliances when we loose power. The unit is quite, with our doors and windows closed the generator sounds like a lawn mower and not like a generator. Our unit came with a remote start that if needed I don't even need to go outside in a storm, and this generator can be powered with either gasoline or propane.

dual fuel

I bought this a few weeks ago and so far it has worked as advertised. The set up was a breeze and the instructions were easy to follow. One thing, make sure you open the fuel valve when starting the unit. I put a small load on it when it started and it powered the devise with ease with no drop in RPM of the generator.

I haven't run this yet, but......

I don't know how well this gen runs or even how loud it will be because I haven't yet tried to start it. I did unpack it and put the wheels on, though. And that led to a surprise: videos of the assembly of this model by YouTubers last year showed more hardware for the axle/wheel set-up than was included with mine. One of the manuals that came with my unit backed that up: per side, there should be two washers, two pins, etc. My unit came with just one washer and one pin and the configuration was different from the Tubers'; even the "axles" were different. I poked around and noticed that my unit was not made in China, as I had expected, but in Vietnam. It looks like there was a change in manufacturing operations earlier this year. (Vietnam is now good and China is now bad, apparently.) I finally found a note in the paperwork about this "new" axle and washer set-up. But nothing is said about having fewer pieces....or why that is the case. You just get fewer pieces and a drawing to match. Anyway, that entire wheel set-up looks shaky. There is horizontal play along the axle shafts and I'm hoping the plastic wheels don't fall off when I move it. I'm also suspicious about the swing-up handle. It's easy enough to swing into place, but there is a welded-on stop for the handle on only ONE side of the unit. I don't know this for certain but I wonder if there might not have been two on the versions made in China. When dragging this beast around the yard, I'm concerned that the left side of the handle will eventually decide to make a break for it. There is absolutely nothing to keep it from going beyond the (non-existent) stop point. Nothing. Nada. The entire weight of the gen is put on the right-side handle stop. At 200+ pounds, it wouldn't take many moves to exceed the handle's ability to tolerate lifting, pulling, and dragging the gen around the yard. Then what? The right side gets wonky and the left side comes apart? (If the wheels fall off at the same time, I'm doomed!)

Great unit!

9500 watts was just right in order to power most of my needed household appliances during outages. unit was heavy, but is built well. no issues to date. wish it came with a 30 amp or 50 amp cord. cant beat the price point for the quality of what youre getting.

Great Features!

This is a terrific generator with a lot of power to keep my house running during a storm. I love how it can use both gas and propane, and it's very easy to switch between the two. It also has a remote start, so I can stay safely in the house to turn it on! It's not as heavy as I thought, and is easy to roll with the 2 large wheels. I highly recommend this generator.

Can't go wrong with this generator

The unit arrived in a few days in good condition, and the delivery personal were very careful not to damage the generator. I like the dual fuel feature, remote start, battery charger port with included battery tender, easy assembly, rubber outlet protection covers, hour meter, and the bonus cover. The generator was a really good deal and has many features, thus I am very happy with this purchase!!!
