Excellent machine
on January 8, 2022
Posted by: Mr. Teeter

Very happy with the machine. Only issue on set-up was getting the bolts threaded for the 2 feet. The welded nuts are not exactly thread friendly. It started and ran on LP perfectly. Only real issue was with delivery. The advanced phone call said they would call a half hour before delivery, so I planned on that. But they just showed up without a call and fortunately I was there and could take the machine. I don't know where they would have left it had I not been home at that moment. The machine may be made in Vietnam, but it has all the quality earmarks of American Made, including a very nice glossy owner's manual. I will definitely recommend Westinghouse. I have not actually used it yet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Generator works great after I finally got it to start. Surprisingly, it starts quicker on propane than it does gas. I drained the battery trying to start it on gas (over 50 degrees outside) with choke and no choke, so I'm thankful it comes with a trickle charger that can be left plugged in overnight. I finally hooked up a propane bottle and it fired up immediately (no choke) at 33 degrees. Once started on propane, I have had no problems starting and running on either propane or gas - it definitely needs to be choked for cold starting on gas. The remote start is nice but I'll probably never use it - my wife will, lol! The enclosed operating manual is easy to follow. It is also a very simple 10 - 12 minute procedure to change the bonded ground wire on the inside of the alternator if needed as we did here at the ranch because of the GFCI plugs. After we got it up and running, we methodically started turning things on in the house without any issues. We have a 3300 sq. ft. (3 BR, 3 bath) house and ran the freezer and refrigerator, fire place blower/fan, had a light on in every room, a light in three closets, a light in all three bathrooms, and ran two electric space heaters, TV and the microwave - never had an issue. This unit is easily set up within minutes. I really only have two issues: 1) It was very hard to get started on gas the first time so I recommend starting on propane and you can easily switch from propane to gas and gas to propane while running, and; 2 (It takes forever to fill up because the screen on the fuel tank is so restrictive. That being said, after running now for two days, I would likely buy this product or one size bigger if I need another one. Quick and easy to put the wheels and feet on the unit.

hookup and test today, both with gasoline and propane, worked great. Either with the remote control or push button, very convenient.

Generator looks well built and easy to operate! I hooked up the propane tank to it and it fired up no problem with the electric start, ran the shop vac without a problem and I can’t wait to try it out on the house!

Power Horse! Perfect for RV

I bought this mainly for my 40ft 5th wheel. 50amp service with 2 ac units. This generator handles it all with no problem. Came boxed up up nice and in great condition. Simple to get running and all the items necessary to do so. Fired right up. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommend this unit. After extensive research and now After having hands on experience...this is the one to get. I recommend this same one to my father and he bought one to run his whole house during emergencies. He too is very satisfied.
