Perfect Home Generator

I purchased this generator approximately 1 year ago. I'm a Florida resident who has experienced several Hurricanes. Fortunately we have had none since my purchase. I have run the Generator frequently, in my case on Propane only. I can tell you that the generator responds perfectly every time I routinely "exercise " it. It responds to my household load , Whole house AC, Pool equipment and all. house hold appliances including electric Clothes Dryer, Oven, Stovetop, Dishwasher, Microwave, etc. etc. It works great . Incidentally the Harmonic distortion level of this unit creates a positive environment for all of my electronics including TV, Digital streaming, WiFi... you name it.

Perfect

Arrived in perfect condition. Followed enclosed instructions and it started right up on propane. Ran for 30 minutes. No issues. Paired the remote. Used the box for cover in garage by cutting handle and wheel slots. Came with nice oil drain hose connected. Did not attach lift hook so it would fit in space I had for it and in box for dust cover.

A dream machine

Like millions of other folks in Harris county, we were without power for over seven days. I bought this to be insurance against ever having to live through that again. I have mine ready to go now with a 50 amp cord and natural gas hook up. I tested it and it had no problems running two window units, numerous lights, refrigeration, and washing machine. Starts right up and runs like a dream. I am actually looking forward to loosing power so I can really enjoy this thing. Additionally, Westinghouse is great because they include in the box the natural gas hose, LP hose, oil, etc.

Fantastic, but...

You cannot use it as a standby generator. The RUN switch cannot be left in the run position with the motor off. If you do, the battery will run down. In the run position I'm told that a trickle charger should not be used. The big reason why I bought this was to avoid having to trudge outside in the middle of as snow storm to get it started. Granted, it then is just the flick of a switch and a push of a button, but I'm telling you, the snow and ice storms around here will require full winter garb before getting to the generator. On top of that, I'm recently disabled, leaving my wife to this task. Both she & I thought it was going to be started from inside. Major disappointment. Theoretically, I could hard wire a leg of the run switch to inside the house. Then I could control it all from inside. But, I'm sure Westinghouse will consider this a violation of sorts, and void the warranty. I'm having an electrician out to the house to get his opinion. What it comes down to is this: Why have a remote start key fob if you need to go to the generator first in order to use it? Now the good stuff. Once it's running and hooked into our transfer switch, it powers along without a hiccup. Well pump comes on, and the motor doesn't even hint at strain. The unit, for its weight, is relatively easy to roll around. Controls, outside of above mentioned obstacles, are well laid out and easy to understand. Dual Fuel. Ahhhh, very nice. In the future I will be running on a dedicated propane tank, but for now I'm on gasoline. The same electrician will be installing a service interrupt automatic transfer switch to replace my manual transfer switch. This is going to be great, once I figure a way around the fact that this generator can't be left in the power-up ready position. It is not a stand-by generator if you have to stand by it to make it run. What good is a remote start remote start if you have to walk to the generator first?. I'd like to see any one argue against that if you were in my shape. I can barely walk at this point.

Exceeds all my needs

This generator replaced a smaller one I bought during the ice storm of 2008. I have a sump pump to keep my cellar dry. If my furnace, well pump and sump pump were all running at the same time and I had one too many lights on the generator would trip and I would have to go outside and reset. With this new generator I don't have that worry anymore. Great product!
