Very convenient

I bought this dual fuel generator to replace an old gas gen that is far too heavy for me to lift into my truck to take to get repaired. Figured was better to just buy a new one than (never) get the old repaired. Love that it is dual fuel, just wish this model had a remote electric start. I also purchased a commercial grade 4-outlet extension cord that connects to the 240v output, since it’s really two 120v, that way I can put a high draw appliance or tool on each of the two 120v legs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this generator a couple of weeks ago and waiting for electrician to install a manual transfer switch to properly use in case of a prolonged power outage. So this review is prior to my actual usage. However, by profession I am a Director of R&D where I get to oversee design and development of numerous consumer products including portable welding generators. Will add a few preliminary comments:
- I like the rolling bars on all sides as they really protect the generator.
- the handle is foldable so that's a space-saver.
- the engine oil filling spout is oddly placed and westinghouse engineers sure could improve it to avoid any spills. They also need to add an oil level indicator to avoid guessing. My only indication was the size of oil bottle that came with the generator.
- Installing the castors is a little pain as have to tilt generator on its side to access the mounting hole.
- Mine is a pull start instead of battery start. It started quickly but it is new and I worry when the generator becomes a little older and start requiring multiple pulls.
In general, the design and look is very similar to some other on market but Westinghouse is a big name and that swayed my decision to purchase a portable generator rom them.

Gas and Propane

2 weeks after I bought the generator our power went out. Our Christmas party was the next day and we had no power. I unpacked the generator put oil and gas in it and on the first pull it started. The generator ran for 2/12 days and totally saved our party. You would have never known the power was out. Our food and freezer stayed running we had Christmas lights and music. Thank you for such a great reliable product.

After 2 day shipping it was easy to unbox and fasten on the feet and wheels. Added gas and oil and on the first pull I was in business.
