Awesome Generator
on May 4, 2021

We bought this after going through the recent power outages in Texas without one. It's great that you can use fuel or propane to power it, and having wheels on it makes it easy if my wife needs to move it. Definitely a good thing to have around.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Reliable portable power for emergency use
on May 3, 2021
Posted by: Zecro
from San Antonio, Texas
I purchased this a few months ago before the 2021 polar vortex hit Texas as a backup power source since I follow the weather closely and I knew I may be trapped home for a week possibly without power and my house has no gas. I followed the instructions closely before use and ran it with no load on LPG for the first hour then tested it on my air compressor, fan, radio and electric chain saw at the same time with no issues at all. It started easily with only 2 pulls and ran well. It was loud so I will need to make provisions to mitigate the noise but for emergencies dual fuel is the way to go. I may add a soft start option to my A/C and an interlock switch to the main breaker panel and build a quiet box to run the whole house. Run it on LPG for about 15 to 20 minutes a month to ensure reliable operation and make sure to turn off the breaker then the gas supply to allow the gas to run out and not gum up or use a fuel treatment additive.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Getting upset
on May 3, 2021
Posted by: Dernie
from Columbus Ohio
During initial break-in, unit would surge constantly and only run smooth with the chock being adjusted to about half open. after about two the hours of operation with no change i thought i better establish a service account and took the generator to an authorized service provider. Well, it is now 3 May (six weeks from dropping it off ) and the service provider continues to work with Westinghouse to fix the problem.

Will not run Sensitive
on May 3, 2021

from Tx
I bought 2 of these (1 for my office and 1 for my house) They worked great on propane and better on Gas. They do have DIRTY power HZ was fluctuating from 58 - 62. Would not run my ups for my computers. Caution the box clearly said they would power computers and TV. There Tech support told me they should not be used for sensitive electronics. They need to FIX the boxes!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
