Open the box added oil like it said too, filled with gas, would not start. Got hold of Westinghouse help next morning. They told me they had too much oil and I said yeah, I put exact oil that I told me to put in and she said she knew that, but it was too full. So I released the oil And it eventually started. It took some time. Not impressed so far.

Bought the dual gas/propane generator this summer to prepare for hurricane season. Literally took it out of the box and got it ready 2 days before we got hit with hurricane Helene and then Milton a week later. It worked flawlessly. It was a godsend when we lost power or could not get gas as we could use it with full size propane tank. Great buy. Love it.

I live in Houston Tx where we get storms and power outages. I purchased this generator to power my home with just 2 switches. After our last storm it was money well spent. Folks if you need a powerful yet reasonably priced generator look into this one.

I bought this generator in anticipation of a winter power outage. This model will be practical, as it uses both propane and gasoline. Its relatively small size is space efficient, yet it promises sufficient power. Look forward to using it in the event we need to. Feel secure having it.

I bought this for my husband a few weeks ago and he loves it. It's pretty quiet when using propane and he's happy about that! It was easy to put together. We bought this as it's been cold here in VA and the power had gone out briefly so we figured we better invest in a generator and this was the one he picked out. Recommend!

Bought this for my 5th wheel Rv for non electric sites, but did not get to use it yet for that. Just had power outage at home and wanted to test it out. Generator stored in Rv all winter long and got out to use after checking out. Started right up after couple tries and runs quiet and smooth. Powered full size refrigerator/freezer small refrigerator, pellet stove and some accessories for 4 hours straight. Worked fantastically. A+++

We've needed a Generator now for our residential home now for several years. We now have found this product and ran the test run. The looks and the operations of the machine are very nice! We now are ready for any un-expected power outages with our new Generator.

Just got the Westinghouse 5000. Followed the simple instructions regarding adding oil. Decided to try the propane fule first, so I just connected the gas regulator that was provided to one of my bbq tanks, turned on the power switch, pulled the starter one time and it started right up. It was more quiet than I had expected, and after the motor idled for a bit, I switched to the ECO mode, which brought motor rpms and sound down even lower. I had read some reviews where people had trouble restarting, so I turn it off, waited about 30 mins, and restarted it using the pull cord. It started on the 3 pull this time. I haven't tried the electric start as the battery hasn't been charged enough, but it came with a charger so that is what I will try nex. So far very impressed with the product.

I just bought this in January and i really wish i had bought this so much sooner! last year we had a bad storm hit us and we were without power for 5 days and this would have really came in handy at the time and helped so much! so if you dont have an emergency back up i would look into this product! so glad i got this!

We purchased this generator after Hurricane Helene hit our cabin in western NC. We were luckier than most as we only lost trees, including four across our driveway, but we had no power for 7 days. Our generator arrived in just a few days and was easy to set up and use. A real life saver, and now we feel much more secure.
