Compact power for power outages

I'm so glad I bought this inverter, powered everything I needed, and runs so much quieter than a regular generator
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Disappointed
on May 16, 2025
Posted by: Robert78

One of the significant reasons I bought this generator was because I believed it had 4 positions on the Start/Stop Switch - Choke, Run, Fuel Shutoff, and Off. The Fuel Shutoff position is missing on the actual unit but is shown in the advertising. I thought the Fuel Shutoff would be a great feature. This missing feature is a big deal to me because small engines should be run out of gas each time they are shutdown so very little fuel remains in the carb bowl to gum up things. Now, I will need to remove the side cover and manual drain the carb bowl after each shutdown which is not what I was expecting based on what was represented in the units advertisement photo. I’ve attached photos as support that what I am saying is accurate.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Like the dual fuel options

Despite my husband's insistence on buying a new generator and me nagging him incessantly to test it out to make sure it worked before it was too late to return it, he waited 6 months to do so. When he had no luck starting it, I was not happy for the above reason. After some troubleshooting without luck, I suggested he try our grill propane tank vs. the large one in our yard, just in case there was a problem with it (as we rarely use it). That worked, thankfully so we are relieved. We have not tried it with gasoline, but appreciate the versatility. Hurricane season is coming and now we are ready. It is common to lose power so this will come in handy to power a fridge and some fans. Once our large propane tank is refilled or fixed, we will be in good shape for maximizing how long it will last before running out of fuel. We also bought the umbrella shade to go with this. We had bad luck with our last gasoline generator of a different brand. This one has good reviews so I am hoping it lasts.

Runs quietly

Purchased this generator to use when dry camping. I have only used it once so far, but everything worked just fine. Runs quiet even under a load.

Great Home Backup for the Money

I bought this for backup on frig, furnace fan, and lights, this will keep everything up and running until power is back on. At one time I had two units connected together and when we out of power for a week, I just switched from one unit to the next. This unit as the others is a gas saver.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Super Quiet

I recently purchased this generator and am very happy I did so. One of my biggest requirements was that it was quiet and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The fact that it is dual fuel and starts easily is icing on the cake. I highly recommend this generator.

I PURCHASE THIS WESTINGHOUSE INVERTER GENERATOR BECAUSE OF DUEL FUEL WITH CO SENSOR, MAINLY FOR HURRICAN POWER OUTAGE, IN FLORIDA. I LIKE THAT IT HAS 2550W PEAK AND 1900W RUNNING.
I would recommend this to a friend!
