Looks very good

Bought based upon positive reviews. Expect it to do well, bought largely due to ability to run off propane as well as gasoline. After unboxing and starting to assemble, pit on legs & wheels, found that bolts (2) for wheels not provided. A call to Westinghouse said the product had to be registered before they would provide the missing bolts for the wheels.

Mobile RV Power

We bought this to power a mobile medical unit turned camper. We needed enough power to run a rooftop AC, microwave, TV, small hot water heater, lights, and battery chargers. The product arrived in great shape. I unboxed and assembled it with the included tools with ease. Followed the instructions for adding oil, connecting the battery and hooking it up to a propane cylinder. 1st start was no problem and it was much quieter that I expected. I powered up some things inside (including the AC) and was amazed that it did not seem to phase this inverter generator at all! Good purchase that we hope will last many years.

Great home back up generator!

I bought this generator as a home back up and it's proven to be a reliable, capable machine! Assembly was straight forward, it started with no issues out of the box and, after break in, I found it was able to provide stable power to critical circuits in my home. I've had no starting issues or power fluctuations. I'm confident I purchased to right power solution to run sensitive electronics during outages!

So Quiet

We just installed this at our 550 sqft. cabin, replacing a 13K commercial generator that was getting old. I'm so amazed at how silent this unit is. It has been running our cabin with no issue thus far, but will really need to test it over the coming months. I have high hopes!

Works great. Runs electric water heater and HVAC

Running off house propane. Tested to 7+KW no problem. Had to move the large regulator from supplied propane tank hose to the house gas connection. User manual a bit confusing for Data Center display. I don't see frequency as an option. My DVM showed 60hz solid at full power with only a slight drop in voltage (244VAC no load to 238VAC full load).

Works good so far

I haven't had a chance to use it with a heavy load or using gasoline yet, but with propane, it starts right up and is pretty quiet for it's size. Lots of great features. The only minor issues I have are: 1. The funnel supplied for adding oil has the wrong size threads so it wont screw into the the filler and it leaked oil. I just used a standard filler that I had. 2. The right side panel (where the oil filler is) was really difficult to open and close.I had to use a putty knife to pry it open (Yes I did turn the lock knob to open) and I had to smack the panel to to close it. Hopefully it will loosen up with use.

So easy to use!

I bought this for an emergency backup generator. Thankfully haven't had the need for it yet, but I think it'll more than power what we need. I wanted a generator that would be easy enough for my wife to start if I weren't home. The power button and remote make starting this thing a snap. Everything is so well labeled, also, that it'd be impossible to make a wrong connection. So far I've only ran it on propane, and just enough to get through the initial 4 to 5 hour break-in period. I've changed the oil twice, per recommendations, and both times it remained very clear. During the break-in period I ran my table saw, some fans, and a shop vac. It powered them all without problem. It's very heavy, but doesn't seem so with the wheels and handle. It was very easy to move around. Runs much more quietly than I was expecting. When used as a backup generator outside our house, I don't think we'll hear it at all inside the house.

Great Inverter Generator

I purchased this unit to replace a very basic 5 kW Coleman Powermate generator that I've had for over 25 years. The difference in technology is amazing - inverter quality power, dual fuel, remote start, control panel data display, etc. So far I've only run this generator to test it but it has already exceeded my expectations. I'm an electrical engineer and in my opinion the build quality appears to be excellent, and given its size the maneuverability has been surprisingly easy.

Previous Westinghouse customer always impressed.

So far the generator showed up in excellent condition and was very easy to assemble; the few ergonomic items so I could get it out of my truck. Already looks like it's going to be easy to operate and large enough for my needs. as a previous Westinghouse customer. I don't doubt that I'll be impressed with this one.

Starts Every time!!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review: Quiet Powerhouse! The Ultimate Outdoor Inverter Generator After extensive research and testing several models, I can confidently say the Westinghouse Outdoor Inverter Generator exceeded every expectation. Whether you're looking for backup power during outages, a reliable generator for RV or camping, or just peace of mind in remote settings, this unit delivers outstanding performance in every category. What I Love Most: 🔋 Whisper-Quiet Operation: This is, hands-down, one of the quietest generators I've ever used. I could carry on a normal conversation while it was running. Perfect for campsites, tailgates, or even discreet use in residential areas. ⚡ Clean, Stable Power: As an inverter generator, it's safe for sensitive electronics. I charged phones, ran my laptop, and even powered a small fridge and microwave simultaneously without a single hiccup. 🔌 Multiple Output Options: The layout is intuitive, with a great mix of 120V household outlets, USB ports, and parallel capability if I ever need more juice. Hooking it up was a breeze. 🏋️ Compact & Lightweight: I was surprised at how easy it was to transport. The handle design and lightweight build make it ideal for on-the-go use—no more back-breaking lifting! ⛽ Fuel Efficiency & Runtime: It sips fuel! I got over 10 hours of runtime on a single tank in eco mode. That's a game changer during emergencies or long weekends off-grid. 🛠️ Build Quality & Reliability: Rugged and well-built. Westinghouse clearly takes pride in craftsmanship. It started on the first pull every time, even in colder weather. Bottom Line: This generator is a must-have for anyone serious about reliable, quiet, and portable power. It offers exceptional value and performance that rivals units twice the price. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Westinghouse inverter generator to anyone—from homeowners and campers to contractors and preppers.
