I can’t wait to put it to use. I especially love the dual fuel feature and the fact this this is a name brand item. I fully expect a Westinghouse generator to be superior to others. It even came with a remote start which I was not expecting. Additionally the hook up for the propane gas feature came with the hose and the adapter ready to hook up to a propane bottle. They have thought of everything including oil to put in the engine and a spark plug wrench when it comes time to change or check the spark plug. The quality of this unit is superior. It’s everything and more that I would expect from the good name Westinghouse. I looked at less expensive units but I felt the name Westinghouse was worth the price.
I just bought this a week ago and received it yesterday. I couldn’t get it to run. I found the fuel solenoid valve on the bottom of the carb gummed up and sticky. Cleaned it up and it fired right up. It runs fine but I probably need to rejet the carb for my elevation. I load tested the unit with two 1500 watt space heaters and looked at the sine wave with my oscilloscope. With no load the sine wave is a little noisy but with a load it is surprisingly clean. I have only ran it on gas but I like having the option to run on propane. I’m happy and satisfied.
I bought this portable generator to help with any power outages due to storms. I am a single mom and wanted something reliable and easy to operate. I needed it to provide power to my sump pump, turn on the heat and a few lights. The electrician slowly explained to me how to operate it and it is very manageable.
we bought this as we have a child with medical needs and we do not need to ride out any storms/blizzards with no electricity for his machines. I love that we can start this with a remote, and that we can use gas or propane, or combination of both!
Product arrrived timely, and was packaged well. Manual is easy to understand and well written. Generator is powerful and a lot quieter than I expected it to be
