Bought this right after the historic winter storm that hit Texas. Vowed to not be reliant on anyone or infrastructure to ensure my safety and to protect my property. This generator meets my needs for my electrical needs.
I had my eye on this generator model a long time. I gotta tell ya, yup, I am so glad I finally got my hands on this particular model. So many reasons why I choose this model. There are three ways to start this generator including Remote Start (Love-It). It's a Dual Fuel machine (Love-It). It has enough Watts to power your entire house (Really Love-It). You can use it everyday for powering your construction tools. Westinghouse included everything needed except the fuel to get this genarator running and it was so-so simple to get it running. I took my time and read the entire manual before doing anything else. It's heavy but the handle and wheels make it easy to pull or push. You get the connector for the propane tank. The gas tank is metal and most other important parts are too. It has safety features like shut-off for gas and a switch that allows you to select the fuel you will use. Also a disconnect for the battery and a on/off switch and a battery charger. To me its not too loud considering how I will use it. My purpose for buying this generator is for small projects and emergency use such as a power outage. I truly feel I can keep this generator a long time running. I personally like the colors Westinghouse choose. Although the shipping box had a hole in it, it arrive undamaged. Thanks for ready and I do hope this article help you decide which model you might need too.
I just purchased this unit and have gotten set up. Started on first push of electric start button and is very smooth running. Can’t wait to see how it works when power goes off. Did not rate higher as I have not had the opportunity to use yet during power outage.
Recieved and set up. Very impressed so far. I haven't had a power failure yet, but with hurricane just around the corner, I feel prepared. This unit comes with basic tools for maintenance, battery charger, remote start, and oil. And if I run out of gasoline, I can steal propane tanks from my gas grill.
Haven't had a chance to use it yet but looks great

I just unboxed and put the wheels on. Looks shiny and new. Will try to update review once I've got it running and used it. But, need to do a review now in order to receive the bonus cover.
