Great Generator

I bought it 4 months ago. So far there was no power outage so I did not need to use it for powering my house. I use a gasoline for it. I start and run it from time to time to let it work and use it's power for outdoor light and leaf blower. One of many great futures is a remote start/stop and another is possibility of using three fuel. It is not hard to move it around thank to solid, big handle and good wheels.

As advertised & Easy to Assemble

I unpacked and assembled the generator (very easy: attach wheels with cotter pins and secure front supports with four bolts with included tools). The generator is heavy but I was able to complete assembly without assistance (I am fit but 75) by tipping the unit on its side and move it using the sturdy handle. It looks and feels solidly built. I haven't run it yet but trust it will perform as advertised.

Fired Right Up and Runs Strong

Just bought this generator. It fired right up the first time I pulled the cord, even though it was very cold outside. Then we used it to run a large sander and the power never faded in and out like with some generators. Very powerful and so far reliable!

Great Generator!

We bought this generator after Hurricane Beryl. We have a newborn baby and after tons of research a tri-fuel was our only option. Our house is on natural gas so we wanted to be able to use this feature. The shipment came in within a few days. We love everything about it and all the power it fuels our house. We can have everything powered up and running.

Great way to stop worrying about next power outage

I bought this Generator in October. Everything they said about it is true. Its easy to start and has a 50amp plugin for easy access to a plugin for my house transfer switch. I run it on a large propane tank. Lots easier then having a lot of gas cans on hand. I'm looking forward to the next power outage when all I have to do is push a button to start my generator.

Very happy with my purchase so far

I've only ran it for the 5 hour breakin period but i'm very happy with it. Westinghouse has redesigned a couple of problems people had with this model so it shows they actually care. They redesigned the run/stop switch to be more reliable and moved the 50amp receptacle away from the wheel so the cable doesn't interfere with it any more. The user manual is very detailed which is much appreciated.

Great for ease of mind

I was looking for a generator after a storm took out power for 2 weeks. After seeing great reviews I decided on this and its an amazing product for the price. Being tri fuel i can rest assured i can use natural gas or propane when gas stations are usually full after storms. Great product all around

Works as expected so far

It is premature to offer a review for a machine I have used for two hours, but I apparently need to dodo in order to receive a “bonus” cover for it, and the prompt came up while completing the product registration. The machine seems well made, and it started up right away. I appreciate that it came with a quart of the oil recommended for the break in period. I like that the outlets include 240V 50A, 240V 30A, and two GFCI-protected 120V 20A duplexes. The only thing I have run with it so far or intend to run during the remainder of the break in period is my submersible water pump. The generator seems to recover operating RPM very quickly in response to the low pressures switch on the pump circuit. the machine is loud, but no more so than some smaller units from different manufacturers, and it is less irritatingly raspy than most. The organization of the owners manual is an incoherent puzzle, but most of the needed information is there if you can find it. I have no other comments this early in my experience with it.

Easy to assemble, starts right up

Bought this in the wake of some recent storms. We had an inverter plug installed and a switchover at the breaker box, so this bad boy will be able to power our fridge and lights in the event of another major power outage. Although it's super heavy, the big rugged tires make it easy to move around. It started RIGHT UP after assembly, and ran with no hiccups. The dual fuel is a real bonus.

Great Features for the Price

I bought this generator to replace my 24 year-old Coleman model. I'm very impressed with the modern features on this Westinghouse generator. The unit is very well made and easily supports the loads for our house. I especially like the dual fuel capability.
