Very easy to set up. Note that that manual is incorrect with how to hook up the battery....it is way easier than the manual says. Just plug two cords together and boom...done. IT IS HEAVY! Make sure you are using this on a level hard surface. I can't imagine trying to pull this through dirt or soggy lawn after a storm. But its weight makes it feel sturdy and well constructed. Also nice to be able to use propane in a sealed tanks vs gas-can gasoline going bad.
I just recently received this generator so this is an initial review, but thus far I’m definitely happy with the quality and value. 9,500 running watts and 12,000 starting watts for this price is amazing. And the unit has all the features...push button start, remote start, battery charges in-use as well as wall charger, multi display, dual fuel, 20A 30A and 50A outlets. Assembly was quick...4 bolts for legs and 2 pins for wheels, connect battery quick connect, and add engine oil. Minor annoyance is the leg support nuts are welded to the frame, which makes it a little hard to get the threads properly engaged. After a bit of battery charging the unit started right up and ran great. I tested my 50A SEOO cord and 50A back feed panel breaker and under a decent load the generator ran smoothly and did not strain, including high starting watts for my well pump. Only issue is the fuel gauge does not work. Called Westinghouse customer service and after just a few minutes holding they registered the unit and opened a case to send me a replacement gauge. So thus far I am pleased with customer service. Before purchasing I also checked out their authorized repair center network, and they have one about 10 minutes from my house, which is great. Overall I’m very pleased with the quality and power for the price, and would definitely recommend this generator.
This is one heavy unit. Instruction manual was easy to follow and very detailed. Looking forward to its first use. Really like the duel fuel. Would be nice if it included a cover.
I bought this a month ago and it was super easy to setup. It started right up. I haven’t really got a chance to use it yet. Power hasn’t gone out, but I know i’ll be ready for it. I love the push start and remote. Its super easy that my wife can use this when i’m not at home.
