Fantastic Generator

This generator really saved us during Tropical Storm Isaias when we lost power here for about 7 days. I was seamlessly able to switch back and forth between propane & regular gasoline without any issues. The generator was able to basically power everything in our house while the ConEd electrical grid was down.
Remote start, electric start, all great features to have today. Can run almost entire house. Not too loud either. Very modern and with wheels easier to maneuver.
I bought this generator so that it could run my well and other appliances when a blackout hits my house. It runs well, starts up well and I love the fact it can use both gasoline and propane. Started it up and it ran my well with not a problem.
Comes with everything needed. Battery, oil, LP connection and even a remote start. I live in Wisconsin where Generac generators are made and by comparison I feel Westinghouse is better.
I bought this a month ago and it was easy to put together. My electrician wired a 50 amp transfer switch and we tested it and it ran my furnace, hot water heat pump water heater, microwave, fridge and well all at once with power left to spare. Highly recommended.
I love the flexibility of having a dual fuel generator. I have always had good experiences with my westinghouse products so I knew I wanted this brand. It works really well. I already have the fuel only one and it was great! I knew that I wanted to have the propane option. Propane is easier for me to store so it works well to be able to use it for my generator! It is heavy but the wheels really help to move it. It is easy to turn on and switch between fuels. Hopefully I don't need to use this generator too often but I am sure grateful I have it if I need too!!
