Made my mind up months ago. On my to do list, then this model was back ordered EVERYWHERE. This tells me something, I believe I already know.
Light weight and very portable.
Just insurance policy for my residence. My peace has increased.
FYI.......my whole family (ancestors, I am 67yo.) worked for Westinghouse in Springfield, MA.....several retired after decades.
Thanks. LOUIS

Review of
Westinghouse 3,700/4,500-Watt Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator (CARB Compliant)
Westinghouse 3,700/4,500-Watt Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator (CARB Compliant)
Given the number of generator/inverters options in the marketplace, what factors were important in my selecting the Westinghouse 3,700/4,500-Watt Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator?
Obviously, capacity had to be in the sweet spot for my intended use. 3700 running watts, 4500 starting watts will handle the critical appliances for the event I have a power failure at my home. And with the apparent increasing risk of power grid failure, this may be a small investment for a measure of security.
I wanted and got a control panel that is quite inclusive, not just a place for a wide range of receptacles. I wanted a LED data screen showing the essential factors: fuel level, remaining run time and power output.
It may seem minor, but very few generator options have a remote start key fob. That was a deal breaker for a guy who makes full use of the tv remote. It’s just a great convenience to add to the electric start on the generator.
I doubt I will use the propane option but if gas stations are closed in an electrical failure it is nice to know I can remove the LP tank from my bbq to power on.
Another important consideration is the eco mode which automatically adjusts engine RPM/fuel consumption to what is necessary to provide no more than the load requires.
I wanted and got safeguards like a low oil indicator and an overload protector.
But as I read through the User’s Manual, more and more features were revealed.
The User Manual itself is worthy of accolades. I rarely receive a user’s manual so well written, clear, comprehensive. Additionally, perhaps for the less patient, Westinghouse provides a one page Quick Start Guide. But reading the whole Manual is a worthwhile experience. What other small engine company includes a drain hose on its float bowl to completely remove gasoline?
Not only does the generator charge the battery while the engine is running, should you have a more sustained period of non use, Westinghouse provides a small plug-in battery charging cable. Not intended as a trickle charger, rather the company suggests plugging it in over night, sufficient to charge the battery without overcharging it.
Westinghouse provides a small bag of essential tools like a spark plug wrench. They include a funnel for adding oil. The gasoline tank includes a filter.
It just goes on. As time passes, I think I’m going to be very glad I purchased the Westinghouse Inverter Generator.

This was a recent purchase for home backup power and camping. I own an igen2200 and it’s done well. So this is an upgrade I’m looking forward to using.

This generator is quiet and simple to operate. Very easy to switch between fuel sources. Love the duel fuel option- no worrying about gasoline shortages or carburetor getting gummed up from old gas.
