Super nice generator

I bought this generator to run my house and central a/c as a backup. The features that I like the most is duel fuel on it, so that if gasoline gets in to high demand I can switch and run it on propane plus you'll never have to clean the carb if using propane only, super nice generator for the price.

Quality product

Bought this generator to power the house. Having two means of fuel is great. Much quieter than my smaller generator. Like that it has a replaceble oil filter. Although this unit is heavy. I was surprised how easy it is to move around. Well built and quality components. Shipping container was robust, comes on custom pallet - no concerns about damage in transit. Overall, I am pleased with this generator.

Good solid machine

Very easy to put together with the clear instructions included, even though it is a heavy machine, the wheels make it very easy to move around. We have not had to use it yet, but we now have peace of mind that we are prepared for an emergency of power outage.

Can't wait to try it out.

Just received delivery. The unit was packed very well and so easy to assemble. Very good, clear directions. It definitely takes two people to get it off the shipping palette but once off, it is very manageable. In spite of its weight (over 300 lbs), it is very well balanced. Even my 71 yr. old wife was able to "wheelbarrow" it around. The electric start works perfectly and as described (automatic choke, restart, and idle). It is a little on the loud side but with all its power and features, I can live with the noise. When the next power outage hits, I think I'm ready.

Unboxing and Initial Test

Everything looks good out of the box. Wheels went on easy (thanks to the stand it ships on) and the delivery guys waited to help me unload it off the stand. If I didn't have help getting it off the shipping stand, it would have been very difficult. Moving the generator around is surprisingly easy given its size and weight. Opened oil drain valve and washer. There was at least a cup of oil that came out. I don't like the design of the drain plug here as it basically spills onto the bracket and you're supposed to place a pan under the feet to catch the oil (with feet inside pan getting oily). Probably best to use a valve with drain hose in place of drain plug. Filling with oil is a little awkward, be sure to pour slowly as recommended in manual. Dipstick is a little awkward, but not terrible. Initially I tried to start with propane but it was idling very rough. Ran it on gas for about an hour. Tried propane again and it started without an issue. I will cold start on propane next time to make sure there's not an issue. The manual displays the propane hose with an additional regulator, but does not have one on the hose included with the generator. The regulator is on the generator already and the manual is likely incorrect. The Low/Smart Idle setting dropped the voltage to 190 and the frequency to 40 hz. Portability and noise level are good given the size and output. Very maneuverable on hard surface. Grass or soft surfaces may prove more difficult. I will continue to update this review as I use it more.

Awesome generator!

I bought this a few weeks back after using my Dad when I was in a pinch. It really performed well for what I needed. I live off grid so I need to use a generator often when there is excessive cloud coverage especially in the winter. The generator runs about 9 hours on 5 gallons of gasoline loaded at 3kW. Super easy to pull start or electric start and fairly quiet compared to what I'm used to. I would definitely recommend.

Well packaged and fit and finish seem great.

Purchased 11/7 and am in process of breaking it in. Started easy and runs smoothly. No mention of what oil filter you can use in the manual. Had to find this information out on the forums. The large Westinghouse Generator tent does not fit this model ask me how I know. Trust me I had To return it. Overall it seems to be a well built unit. Purchased to run whole house with the exception of the dryer and stove all on at once.

The Beast

Yes, I'm one of those that bought a generator AFTER the Texas freeze of Feb 2021. I'd planned to anyway but the ERCOT issues forced my hand earlier than anticipated. It has all the features I need to run my whole house. Hired a local electrician to install an inlet box on the house and a 50amp interlock in my panel. The genny started right up in my two tests and it's just an overall solid, well-built machine. Westinghouse seemingly thought of everything.

Awsome generator with great features

Starts easily, <5% THD so it will power my computer, GFCI on outlets is great for my portable tools, big gas tank so long time between refuelings, enough power to run everything and then some, very well packaged and arrived without any damage which is rare in this day and age.
