I have looked at many generators for the past few months and finally chose this one due to its features and ratings. It did not disappoint at all. The model far exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend this product.
We recently moved to the foothills of the Sierras (Northern California). Power outages are common, so we bought a little 2,000 watt portable to keep devices charged. We are presently in the middle of an extended outage with no end in sight. My neighbor is an electrician and he told me he could wire this generator into our main so we can power the whole house with very little disruption.
I had been under the impression that a whole-house generator would cost five figures. This was an absolute bargain.
The only very minor quibble I have with the unit is that some of the threads for the nuts securing the feet are fouled either with paint or a manufacturing burr. I attached the feet using one bolt each but will ream them out later. For now, they're secure enough. That very minor defect is the only reason I did not give it five stars.
Being able to run on propane as well as gas is a huge convenience. We will plumb it into our 450-gal propane tank but use gasoline for backup.
The wireless fob to turn the generator on and off is a very nice touch. If we have future extended outages, it'll make life a lot easier.
Perfect size to run our entire house with a portable unit. Most of our heating is done with gas so we just needed something this size to run the electrical components
Bought this generator because I live on an island. Works great with dual fuel. Now I can run most of my house if electricity goes out. Will run my central air also! Best purchase and well made. Thank you Westinghouse!
Read lots of reviews of dual fuel generators before purchasing. Had some concern about reviews regarding not starting with gasoline and metal spurs for bolts, but experienced nothing but the best possible results as I assembled and started it up using both fuels. Granted only assembled and ran after assembly, not in harsh or emergency conditions, but we feel ready if we need the generator.
