my first electric Generator

Posted by: none specific .
i bought this for emergency electric power since our place is having more episodes of power black outs. I went for Westinghouse brand since they have a good reputation :Good & reliable products. The generator started easily on the first try (propane fuel). Outlets provided are more than sufficient:20,30,50 amps . The only issue i had was on how to measure the oil level ,since the instruction say NOT to screw in the Dip stick.The recommended amount of oil will only show at the tip of the dip stick.The noise Generated is on the high side (below 100 decibels) , but will be tolerable ounce outside doors & windows are close . Maneuverability good.
I brought this a month ago and it was easy to set and get running. I really like the 50 amp output to run my house during a power outage. It's great that it works on both gas and propane.
Bought this unit in March 2022, so when we needed it, we would have it. Had an electrician set everything up for us. FIRST time we needed it...no go. Started, ran for a couple hours (at best) then quit. Never to restart. New plug - nope not it. Called the number, they said it's probably the ignition coil, they could send us the part, or send the generator in. So much for having it when we needed it.
We have both summer and winter storms here, and this generator has more than enough power to get me through both. The Dual Fuel is an excellent option, the thoughtful design features are without peers in this category.
