Purchased this mainly with a desire to have electric start. The also supplies a remote Key Fob for start and stop operations. Sweet. I learned with electric / remote start, the choke / run are set automatically and have 3 attempts. Although mine start right off every time, gas or propane. Battery and oil for break-in are supplied. Also, the generator has a charging port and Westinghouse supplies the power plug too. And basic hand tools. Although no wrench 19mm(?) is supplied for the tightening or remove all for the LPG connection to the generator.
Speaking of that, gas or propane dual fuel. Both work fantastic and switching between the two while running is flawless. As I said, it will start with gas or propane too. The propane connection is supplied. While running, the transition is quite flawless.
Other features key to me carbon monoxide sensor and 40A / 50A plug ports.
To maintain, all operations(oil, carb, manual pull starter, etc are easily accessible. Smart engineering.
We connect ours directly to the Generlink interface for safer operation with power crews and less modifications to have an electrician do anything with the main AC panel. See photo. There are plenty of other generator photos but this is nice. Oh, there is an ST switch option to plug into the generator and into your house. When power loss is detected it will remote start the generator. However, with the GenerLink, that’s not possible.
I have recommended this to my neighbors and friends.
We bought this for hurricane season and had everything set up to connect directly to the house. The first big storm knocked our power out but we were up and running again in minutes. No more yanking on a cord til my arms give out, just a simple press of a button and the whole house was all set.
I just received this August 2, 2024 just in time for hurricane season. Looks great and has plenty of power and love that it is duel fuel. I also watched many youtube videos of this and read many positive reviews.
We bought this at the beginning of Hurricane season (2024). We trust the Westinghouse brand, and this looks like it is going to be very easy to set up when needed.
