Pros: -electric start, remote start (not all that useful IMO, but it's there if you want it) -trickle charger for the battery -50A output, which is hard to find in this size/price range -dual fuel is handy, if you want natural gas you can always get an adapter kit online, loads of people do it that way -voltages are bang on, 240 and 120V both +/- 0.4V Cons: -heavy and loud, but that's the case with every generator. Not louder than any other genny this size, and quieter than some. -my unit came didn't want to run at first, the governor was revving it up and down wildly and the engine would choke after 30 seconds. Finally figured out it was a kinked fuel hose coming from the gas/propane selector module. Undid the hose clamp and rotated the hose so it stopped starving the carb of fuel, and everything worked great. But it would be nice if it actually worked out of the box, especially if the consumer can't diagnose problems like that. -nominally high THD (<23%), if you care. The overwhelming majority of modern electronics won't be affected by high THD, though I've heard computer uninterruptible power supplies sometimes refuse to recognize that they're plugged in when on generator power. All in all, definitely worth a buy.

I got this generator about 3 weeks ago & was planning on test driving it this weekend. The power company gave me an excuse this morning with my power going out. I plugged this into my transfer switch, flipped to generator, started it up & my home was fully powered. So worked as I'd hoped it would. A little bonus I either missed in the description or it wasn't there is, it also came with a remote start fob! It started 1st time & ran till my power came back on 7 hrs. later. So big thumbs up!!

I have just completed assembly and made a test run. The unit started immediately by electric start as the battery was already charged. I was pleased with the clear instructions and ease of assembly with necessary tools included. A very helpful oil filter funnel was also included. Everything worked right out of the box, even the key fob remote starter. Only downside is insufficient packing material. The unit is very heavy and mine was manhandled along its journey. The cover holding the pull start rope was bent inward and had to be pushed out to ensure smooth operation (if the electric start should not work some day). Ready for the next storm or job away from power sources.

Unboxed unit which was well packaged and secure. Individual items like oil, tool pack, instructions manual, etc were in sealed bags. Filled with oil, and adequate amount of gasoline, checked battery after connecting plug-ins. Pushed start button after turning engine over by pull rope to lube engine, started up immediately. Ran until gas was depleted and electrical outlets tested with lights as load. Very satisfied with purchase, seems to be ready for backup duty in the event of our next power outage.

I just received this generator and was pleased with all items supplied by the manufacturer. Good owners manual and clear instructions on everything but the oil level check. going to call customer service before operating just to be safe. Manual says not to screw in the fill cap to check oil level but the online manual says to screw in to get oil level. I put in the supplied oil and found it was not enough even with screwing in the oil cap. I'm sure this is something customer service can clear up quickly

I bought this generator to power my essential appliances during power outages. It has not disappointed. I really like the dual fuel feature. It is especially nice that you can switch between propane and gasoline "on the fly", without having to turn off the generator.

Had a 5500 generator (won't throw out names), it worked but really loud. This seems to be a little quieter. It didn't quite come with enough oil to fill it, ended up buying a gallon because I plan on doing frequent oil change for the break in period so not a huge deal to me. Remote works pretty well.

We bought this after 8 days of no electricity during 105 degrees in Texas heat last summer. We are in our 60s with health problems. We are so excited to have gotten this generator. We actually bought peace of mind. Westinghouse has been a great provider of various things to have had the staying power that they do. We so look forward to the ease of the Texas summers now with no dread. We are excited to receive our generator cover! Thank you!

I bought this a month ago and I’m so happy that I did because we seem to lose power a lot the winter and my old generator was not cutting it. This generator has plenty of power and outlet choices. The versatility of the dual fuel is a bonus as well as the remote start. I like using the propane option so I don’t have to worry about gasoline contamination. I highly recommend this product.

I live in a area that has many outages this Generator gives me peace of mind that i can still have power with generator when electric is out but the best thing about the generator is it runs gas or propane i will use propane cause it doesn't go stale so ready anytime to start
