Good overall

Bought for a backup if power goes out. Rec'd in good condition everything was there. "Read" the directions! Used the electric start started after 2 attempts. Ran at 1/2 load or less as required. Worked good, very quiet. Very fair on fuel. Tried to start with recoil a few times, didn't get it started. Back to elec start, it started right up. Have about 5 hrs on it. Will see if it lasts. Seems well made.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome duel fuel inverter generator!

I purchased this for use with our RV and emergency home backup. So far it’s been good, worked right out of the box without any issues. Ive only ran it on gas but I do appreciate the fact I can use propane. The fuel tank is fairly large for the size of the generator which will help it run longer without refueling. For the price I got it I can’t complain since others in price range can not compare as I got this on sale.

I bought this middle of January for a less noise and more power. Came in and put the oil and gas in according to the quick setup and started right up, no issues. Cannot believe what a difference the sound level is to my older generator. Hopefully I don’t need to use it much but I am prepared.

I got this a week ago we have been without power for some time in Canadian winter. Was previously borrowing a friend's generator; but decided to get out own. This thing is quiet reliable and I'm getting 18 hours on the tank. The. Other nice feature is even my wife has no problems starting it.

An impressive piece of equipment

Purchased a little over a week ago and over the last couple of afternoons I ran the generator to accumulate the five hours of break in time appying different loads being careful not to exceed a fifty percent load as suggested by Westinghouse. I am currently using gasoline to fuel the generator. The first time I started it I used the pullcord as I was curious to see how easy it would start using the manual labor method. The temp was 35 degrees F and it started up on the second pull. Very smooth running and pretty quite. I like information so I am in love with the data center. One of the readouts available is the amount of run time left with the current load on the generator. If I plug in another device and increase the load the readout will update to show the new run time left with the increased load. I also like that the carburator came with a drain hose attached and a drain screw to faccillitate draining the carb. A thoughtful feature. The owner's manual is well written with lots of drawings, nice.
The battery was door was popped off and the battery out of its tray when I opened the shipping carton. The attachment points where the battery hold down strap attaches to the generator plastic housing is very minimal. It takes very little pressure for the strap to become unattached. As others have mentioned Westinghouse missed the mark when it comes to draining the oil. If they were to enlarge the access door opening just a little on the left side it would go a long way in making the drainplug more easily accessable. All in all an impressive machine loaded with practical features.

I bought this unit for boondocking in our rv. After unpacking and reading the instructions, I connected the battery, put in the oil, hooked up the propane and it started on the first try. I am impressed with the general quality of the unit. It seems to be as quiet as advertised. I would definitely recommend this generator.
