I bought two of these on our way home from a road trip cut short by Hurricane Helene. We hoped to get them running in time to save our frozen and refrigerated foods. We did. Runs great and adequate for our need. The controls are easy to understand. Starts dependably. Just remember to start without a load and don't expect it to power your house. Count the watts on your devices. Don't expect it to power a microwave, toaster oven, or coffee maker unless you dedicate the service just to one if those high demand appliances at a time. We kept one running for 15 days. The oil change interval is a killer, but it takes less than a pint. It's quiet, compact, and moveable with built-in handle. Excellent for emergency backup for basic needs.
We purchased this generator for foul weather because we often lose power with trees going down across Atlanta. We haven't *had* to use it yet but are glad we can keep our refrigerator running and add a couple of lights when necessary. We got it, unboxed it, added the oil and connected it to our propane tanks and it started right up after a couple of pulls. I won't say "I can't wait to use it." but I am happy we have it now for foul weather!
After researching and comparing different models, I purchased the Westinghouse 2,550 Watt Dual Fuel Gas and Propane Powered Portable Inverter Generator with recoil start for its features. The generator is lightweight, starts easily and runs quietly. The dual fuel capability is a great feature and is one of the features that sold me on this generator. It is efficient and powerful enough to run my essential appliances when the power goes out. I also plan on using the generator when we tailgate with our RV. So far I am very pleased with this generator.
