This generator has so far past any expectations I had . It is Quieter than expected, more powerful than expected and is easier to use than expected. With the remote start I can start it from inside my RV with out having to go outside. Good machine !
I've been looking for a dual fuel RV generator that has remote start, and this appears to be the only one on the market. I was a bit hesitant on the open frame type model due to the noise I've experienced with others, but the noise level and pitch are surprisingly quiet. The propane is so convenient and burns clean. I haven't tried it with gasoline, and unless I'm in a pinch I doubt I will, since the propane has indefinite shelf life and won't gum up the carb. The connection of the starting battery was a little bit of a hassle and wasn't well described in the instructions, and one of the screws on the battery bracket was torqued too much and I had difficulty getting it out. This generator has an incredible set of features for a great price, making it a good value. The three year warranty is also very nice.
Really easy to install wheels to frame. I poured oil, connected battery (little tight), connected propane line and propane tank. Started from second attempt. Remote start-amazing. Great product.
Have had 2 other generators from different brands to use for backup. One had problems starting with either fuel type, the other was labeled at 72 decibels from 25 ft and was closer to 100. Westinghouse dual fuel starts easy, either fuel, any start method(has three!) and is at a decent noise level. Output is what was needed and so far I've not had a problem in the break in period.
I am happy with this item, it is safe and I prefer the propane tank over gas. It is heavy and powerful. I can't wait to put the cover on this as it is sitting on my patio ready to use. My family and neighbors know they will have a place to come to if our power goes out.
