In fairness, I haven’t USED my new generator yet, as it only came today. My rating is for features, packaging, and delivery only...so far. I have every reason to EXPECT it to deliver 5 Star performance, and I certainly HOPE it does. Oh, and if you do buy the same model, check on the Pull Start handle for your Remote Start Fob if it isn’t in the Wheel Accessories Box.
Everything I expected and more. Generator is solidly constructed with great features. Very easy to operate. I have high confidence in this product and would highly recommend!
I received this generator last week and it was very easy to set up and get running. It came with all necessary tools to get going, and even oil to fill it up. If running on gas, remember to turn on the fuel before trying to start it.
The main reason I purchased this for was for a travel trailer, and I could start it with the remote start from inside the trailer. There is a little delay when using the remote to start it, but it works. Will be camping with it this weekend and this should make it much easier.
This was an affordable unit with the remote start feature, that is also dual fuel. I will likely use it only on gas, but the propane is nice to have as well.
One of my new-year's resolutions was to be more prepared for a major earthquake or other disruption of the electric grid. After much research on-line, I was surprised to find the Westinghouse 3600DF offered at such a reasonable price, and offering all the features (dual fuel, electronic ignition, etc.) I'd sought- and then some, e.g. a remote start. I particularly appreciated the accompanying documentation, which includes exploded parts diagrams and electrical schematics, as well as thorough maintenance instructions.
I bought this smaller generator just to run a space heater and my refrigerator. When my son-in-law set it up he found it wouldn't start even through the battery showed it was fully charged. He quickly found the problem - a wire from the engine to the battery had become disconnected during shipment. Connecting the wire resulted in an easy start once the engine had primed itself. It ran very well though certainly not quietly during our test. I'm just so glad to know pet finches and I can stay warm during any power outages this winter.
