I am a new home owner in in South West Florida and understand the importance of having a generator on hand in case of emergencies. After extensive research, I decided on the Westinghouse duel fuel unit for our home. This decision was based on many happy customers in may different forums. Westinghouse has proved itself as an excellent choice in the midrange price line. We hope to not need to use it but if we do I feel confident it will get the job done.
We bought this between the NC ice storm of last weekend and the snow storm of this weekend and are so grateful to have had it as we got 6+ inches of snow yesterday with high winds and dangerous cold that called it into use! It was a lifesaver for us, our greenhouse, and our chickens. We know we will us is more throughout the year as we do lose power here throughout the year due to downed trees during storms (ie Hurricane Helene). Thank you for a fabulous product!
Just bought the generator. Setup was super simple, 4 13 mm bolts & 2 cotter pins was all it took (wrench included). Was 15°, per manual had to hold choke open to get it started. Once it started and the idle smoothed out I released it. I started it using all 3 ways (push button, remote key fob, and pull start) with both fuels.
My old portable generator failed so I upgraded to an electric start one and it is great not having to pull start one any more.
