After thorough search of available generators, I bought this one based on very favorable reviews. It has all the features that I need, particularly the dual fuel capability to run on propane or gasoline. It has up to 12,000 watt capacity and 4 outlets for 120 volt/20 amp and one for 120/240 - 30 amp and one for 120/240 - 50 amp which can feed back into the breaker panel to power a lot of the house.
The remote fob start and the push start are alternatives to pulling the handle. The unit comes with a trickle charger to maintain battery readiness.
One necessary item will be a shelter or supported cover to allow the generator to operate in rain or snow, since the manual states that it should not get wet when running.
It has an ergonomic handle attached to make wheeling the unit a lot easier. A necessary item considering its size and weight.
It is a substantial unit, weighing 200 lbs and requires a little heavy lifting to put on the wheels and support feet. The surrounding frame is metal as are most of the components, which appear very sturdy.
I just received it today and will see how it performs during a power outage or need for remote electric service. Based on other reviews, I anticipate that it will perform well.
I've had this for 3 months now and I have tested in several different ways using gasoline and LP and it always performs as expected! Very happy customer!
Fantastic whole house generator that's meets the demands of these new normal global warming related power outages. Westinghouse is a trusted industry name that also has a great customer care network. Buy with confidence.
I bought this generator because traditional generators were difficult for me to start. This one meets and exceeds all of my expectations. Easy set-up and easy start.
