I am glad that I purchased this item! It is definitely a lifesaver during a power outage! I like having dual fuel option so that I can maximize the time the generator runs!
We bought this generator because we live near the beach. Luckily we haven't had to use it yet but we do run it often to keep it working and it works great. It also isn't as loud as generators I have had in the past. The remote start key fob was included and is easy to use. This is the first generator I've owned with a remote, nice perk.
purchased during a three-day power outage. My current generator was 25 years old and not running good, had to have power as it was winter storm and extremely cold. I bought Westinghouse generator and got it home, easy setup, excellent instructions, got it fired up and it had the power to run my entire home. Very pleased with power, quiet running compared to my old 5000 series (different brand). I have two friends that have this machine, and they recommended it to me, they are very pleased with their generator and would probably rate theirs 5 stars, because I just purchased and used for three days I give it 4 with hopes that I will say 5 stars based on good performance in the long haul.
I test started with gas. Remote start is a nice feature, along with the retry. Heavy, but easy to move with wheels and a handle. Connected it to the house transfer switch, and it ran all appliances, but the HVAC was off. Will test with propane next.
I bought a dual fuel generator to allow me to run from my propane. Got to put it to the test within the first month of buying. An ice storm took out our power for 2 days. The generator worked great. The push button start made start up very easy. So far it has run for approx 20 hours. So far so good.
Bought this unit Dec 2025, and had a outside plug-in installed professionally. We tested several times and it starts easy and it powered the whole house through the circuit breaker box. We are very happy with the unit and would recommend it to anyone.
