I purchased this generator a month before this review. The main reason for the purchase is for a home backup during power outages. Lots of great reviews helped my decision. I really like the features. Dual fuel, electric & remote start (auto choke), 50 amp & 30 amp connections, and the rated fuel consumption vs other brands got my attention. I plan on using propane because it burns cleaner, does not gum up carburetors easily, and stores much longer than todays gasoline. Easy setup. After filling with provided engine oil (with provided oil funnel) & hooking up propane properly, the engine started on the first try. All electrical outlets worked. I plan on following the manuals directions for storage maintenance. Several thousand great reviews for this product. Westinghouse has a great reputation for customer service and products.
Just bought for backup use and am so pleased. Seeing what happened in TX this spring really made me think about being prepared. It has all the thing I need and want for a better price that others in same class.
I love the dual fuel aspect of this generator, and it runs quieter on propane. Nice to not worry about old gas gunking it up after sitting, and more convenient to have an extra propane tank in the garage than gasoline, but nice to know that in a pinch (or Armageddon!) I’ve got fuel options.
Started right up, parts and instructions were all there and as advertised. Definitely feeling more comfortable now that we can handle power outages, especially since we use well water and no electricity means no water!
Super easy to start (the remote key is wonderfull - no need to start it with a pull cord), powerful and kept much of our household appliances working during an extended power failure. Very pleased with our purchase.
