So Far, So Good

The directions were easy enough to follow and the generator went together as expected. We have not used it yet, but are happy with the visual quality of the product. We will update this review if we run into any issues - but so far, so good.
Bought this recently and although we have yet to use the equipment for its actual purpose, we are impressed with the unit's capability of being dual fuel as well as its ability to power multiple items in our house at the same time.
I began looking for a home backup generator after my power went off in February 2021 for two days and three nights in single-digit freezing weather complete with ice and snow everywhere. I've lived in Nebraska for several years and we never had that problem in weather even more severe. So I don't trust Texas to supply power in critical times when solar and wind are unreliable. Hence the need for my own backup power. I looked at many different generator brands and settled on the Westinghouse as the most reliable, also one of the more popular choices, as well as being a great value.
Gearing up for hurricane season Tested unit with propane simple connections and up and running noise good for size Putting transfer switch on home soon. Great product for price point
Bought it a while back, but finally had the electrician come out to install the transfer switch. He took one look and awed at the unit. State of the art, well built, and lots of power. Cranks up right way and is not too noisy. I’m getting a 5 ft lpg tank to go with it, and I’m good to go for a while. Highly recommend this one, and it’s a brand you can trust.
I bought this a couple of weeks ago and so far it has worked well. I live in Florida so I am getting ready for Hurricane season and it has performed great. A couple of test runs on both propane and gas and i cannot tell the difference. I wired the 50 amp connector to my inside panel and it can run everything.
