This adventure started out rocky with the delivery company not delivering on time by weeks but when it arrived it was in decent shape. I ran this thing for a solid hour and was impressed with it. It is quieter than I thought but it would be too noisy for overnight in a rv park or neighbors near by. I like the electric start and remote start features and also having the pull cord built on as well. One small complaint i have is there was not enough engine oil shipped to fill the engine propley, although it did come with tools for simple maintenance. I have only ran the first hour on propane but it fired up pretty decent, (my elevation is around 3300 feet and the temperature was around 20° Fahrenheit after being at or below 0 for the week leading up to the test). I haven't put a large load on it due to my house not properly wired for it but will update when I do. I think this will be the proper generator for my needs after the proper transfer switch and plugs are installed on my house.
Has all the features we were looking for. The only thing is that when we first tried to use it, it would not start, but we figured out that the battery had a loose connection, once connected it ran perfectly .
Easy Assembly comes with everything you need. Hooked up to the house had no problems running heat two refrigerators, well, sewer pump, lights and technology to keep everyone online and working. Haven't had the need to run for long term outage but am confident for the next storm. Would definitely recommend the unit.
I bought this unit a few weeks ago because some other people in my family have it and love it. Good because it had the dual fuel and don't have to worry about gas issues. Carbs plugging from ethanol
I have had this generator for almost a year now. We just had a big storm. The power been out for four days now. I have been running the generator for about twelve hours a day. Has not used any oil. Gas tank is plenty big so it could run all day without refueling plenty of power to run my well pump, septic pump and the whole house. I have 200 amp service.
The set up of this generator is very simple. It only took me a few minutes to have it up and running. Westinghouse included the necessary oil and the battery was fully charged. Once hooked up to Propane it started right up and purred like a kitten. I have not tried it on gas as I only plan to use propane with this unit. This bad boy is going to power my wood shop.
