I bout one and ad to take it back. The customer support man was great even though it took six calls and waiting for a couple hours to get through. I also had to drive an hour one way to take it back. I did order another and it did work so far. I’m just now going through the breaking in the engine and oil change. I will have to update review later. One thing is, I lost a day but did decide to give them another try. That should be cause for a discount or something. It was over 200 LBS and I hurt my back loading it by myself and still paying for it!!
I bought my dual fuel two months ago and the very next day we had a storm and it was go time. With a quick release valve already installed on my house propane line, I was able to plug in the hose, switch the breaker over, flip a switch, and hit the remote (yeah, it has a remote!) and was operational in minutes. The coolest part was that I was able to easy wheel it out of my garage with the handle. It is mobile as a two-wheel wheelbarrow, which was awesome because it was the middle of the night and it had to go over some rocks. It is super sturdy. This was my first mobile generator and it was simple to learn. If you are looking at a easy and reliable solution, I would certainly recommend this product.
This is a great generator. It's got the same features as the generic generators that cost more and it's a name I have heard of. Everyone has heard of Westinghouse. They could definitely charge more for this generator, but I'm glad I got at at the price point I did. A real bargain.
I just bought this generator because I didn't want to borrow a family members generator any longer and have only used it once, only to try it out. Assembly was easy. Fired up quickly on propane. Tested it by simulating a power outage. Hooked up to the 50amp outlet to the 50amp house inlet. I was able to run several lights in various rooms, TV, furnace, well pump, 2 refrigerators and a deep freezer at the same time. When the 240v well pump kicked on the generator barley bogged then ran smoothly with everything else running.
