Used my new Generator for the first time last weekend after a major thunderstorm left us without power. Powered the refrigerator, and the necessary lights for us until the Electric company restored the power. This is the reason I purchased the unit. Well Done!

Though haven't put this generator to the full test yet, so far am impressed and pleased with everything about it. Out of the box seems very well constructed with easy final assembly/prep/startup and all the features that I was looking for - plus some. See no reason this generator won't fully meet my needs for years to come.

Confident this will power my home when needed

This generator is one of the highest rated ones out there and I did a lot of research before choosing it.
I chose it for several reasons:
Power to price ratio, for the amount of starting watts and running watts this has you will not find a better price.
I chose it for several reasons:
Power to price ratio, for the amount of starting watts and running watts this has you will not find a better price.
Low THD, important for when you need to power electronics.
Dual fuel, you never know when you may not have access to gasoline.
Has a 50amp outlet, most generators only have 30amp max. This is going to be connected to my home as a backup power source, and with 50amps it’ll power literally my whole home minus my EV charger.
Remote start, lets you start it up without ever stepping foot outside if you want and worked right out of the box, didn’t have to charge anything or pair anything.
Comes with wheels, I shouldn’t even have to rate this part of it but basically every other generator makes you buy a “wheel kit”.
It was super simple to setup and start up on propane for the first run. You tip the thing over first and foremost and attach the feet and wheels, after that you can wheel it around pretty easily because the plastic wheels are pretty big. I was able to do this all by myself.
I don’t know if it’s actually a Westinghouse product or if they just licensed the name, but it’s a name that I’m familiar with and trust more than the others in the price range.
Now why didn’t I give this five stars? Well, it may not even be Westinghouse’s fault, but mine came with a bunch of cosmetic damage. Lots of scratches and scuffs and part of the frame is actually bent too. Also, the included quart of oil leaked all over. Granted none of this affects functionality, but when you’re shelling out a grand for something you want it to arrive looking brand new. Better packaging could have prevented at least some of the issues.
Overall I definitely recommend this generator and actually plan on purchasing a smaller inverter generator from Westinghouse soon to use as an actual portable power source.

Very nice generator

This fuel fuel generator works like a champ on both gasoline and propane. I like that feature because you have 2 options for when you need it to run for a long while. It was very easy to start and I also like the remote start fob in case it is raining outside or too cold. Lots of great features too.

I was comparing other manufacturers and the Westinghouse model fits our need for a back up power source and has a good price point. The safety features on this model are also a plus. I would recommend this product because of the value and durability.
