Got us through Beryl and will get us through more!

We purchased this generator prior to hurricane Beryl since our area is prone to outages during storms. To say we are happy with the product is an understatement! We had hooked up our fridge, deep freezer, fans, portable AC and a few other small electronics to get us through. We do plan on getting a switch on our house so we can hook this bad boy up and use it that way. Can't wait!
This is my 2nd one. I loaned my old one out after the storm to a friend in Galveston. It ran my entire 2400 Sq Ft. home w/5 ton a/c/ after hurrican Beryl. I know of at least 5 people that have seen mine and purchased them prior to the storm. Now all most everyone on my block has ordered one. Do not wait till you need one and the power is out. Buy it and know how to operate it before you need it. Otherwise you will be in the dark.
I am very pleased with the purchase of this Westinghouse generator. It came with all the accessories I need to start up the Generator (except for fuel). It was very easy to install. The instructions are very clear. I could turn on the generator the first time I tested it. It came just in time when the hurricane Baryl hit Houston. The Dual Fuel is really a nice feature. I ran out of gasoline and I could run it using the LP. Excellent Generator.
Received my generator last week. Put the oil in it, connected it to propane, and it fired right up. To break it in we connected our electric smoker, which ran for a little over 6 hours. The generator did just fine, and quieter than I expected.
Purchased about 2 weeks ago, hooked up to our 3 bedroom home, runs everything just fine including our central air conditioner. (note we did not turn on every thing at once) Very well built and easy to move around, looking for many years of use. Only problem is it does not come with an economy switch as noted in the manual, probably would not have used it any.
