Power Up

I received my generator in excellent condition and found it very easy to assemble. It was even easier to start it up, as it fired on first try. I ran a test run hooking the generator unto my house electrical system and "bingo", the generator powered the whole house (less the A/C). It is especially exciting knowing I can run the generator on either propane or gasoline. The electric start makes things so easy. I'm comforted knowing that I have back up power in case of emergency.
I haven't had this unit for very long but when I received it was able to immediately hooked it up to propane and fire it up. Love the electric start. It will take some time to learn all that it offers but looking forward to it.
I needed a portable generator to provide both backup power for my home and enough power to run my welder in remote locations. It comes complete with gas and propane fuel capability, and all the necessary hoses and regulators.
Assembly was much easier than expected and the instructions are well written. This model not only has push-button battery electric stat, but it also has a key fob remote control.
The included oil is the exact amount needed to fill the crankcase to the proper level. It started immediately after filling with gasoline. It's not a super-quiet, but it's a lot quieter than my current 3500W generator.
The power outlets provide both 110 volt and 220 volt options.
I was surprised to see that it's made in Vietnam, not China.
Picked generator up at a great price. Delivery was simple. Had some issue with getting it started, instruction should mention it will take several tries. Tried to start it enough battery died. Charged it overnight with provided charger( great feature). Still wouldn’t start, tapped on the carburetor bowl a few times and it started right up. Turns out the float was stuck. Will be using the generator to power my house during power outages. Won’t know how well it performs until I get it hooked up. Great value and great features. Recommend it.
His generator has all of the things that I was looking for being a dual fuel generator. The only problem I had is trying to start it first time, And realize that the automatic choke was not functioning. I manually choked it, and it started the first time. I already called Westinghouse, And I was told I would get a call back on the next business day to get it taken care of. Everything else about it seems great.
Excellent description of product. Easy to start up. The remote fob feature is awesome. We used propane to test it and we start it monthly and it works properly. We are very happy with this product.
