Bought this generator back in July. It generate enough to power everything in my house. Not all at once of course but multiple important needs in the house such as lights , water well pump, refrigerators, tv charger etc. great price and quality.
After seeing several models, I decided on this one, I do not regret fantastic power to lift several appliances at the same time and the ac, the heaters too, I recommend it for an emergency at home or for work, excellent.
I am extremely pleased with my new Westinghouse Generator that I recently purchased. Although a well built rugged machine, the controls are easily understandable. The wheels are not flimsy like a lot of other generators. I chose the dual fuel model in case gasoline becomes difficult to find. I like the idea of dust covers on the receptacles. Compared to other companies, this generator gives a lot of bang for your buck!
We live in the country and we bought this to supply power for key home equipment like refrigerators, septic and water pumps, and especially our tankless water heater. This water heater runs on propane but has to have power for the electronic controls. It will keep itself warm during freezes if it has power. The generator can be quickly connected to the house circuit breaker panel so we can chose the specific piece of equipment that needs power during a blackout. We lose power from time to time during ice and tropical storms, when we really need the power. This is a great backup for all emergencies and power needs.
This dual fuel generator is perfect to run my whole house. I know this Westinghouse generator is super easy to use as I bought two gasoline fueled Westinghouse generators in the past two years for my grandsons and they run great.
The remote start was a big selling point, my wife won't need to go outside to switch to generator power if the power goes out. It has enough power to run everything I'll need in case of a power failure, including my three ton heat pump.
I haven't had to use it yet in an extreme condition but I have ran it and its very reliable. Not really quiet but loud enough to let your neighbors know you have one. I still have a problem with the angle of the oil fill port but other than that no complaints.
