I just finished testing the unit on gas and propane. Starting was smooth. Only criticism is the remote needs to be able to start the unit from farther than 30 feet!
This is my third unit, not had any better then this little work horse! Runs my camphouse every weekend from March to December. Good fuel mileage/run time. Comfortable plan is 4 hours per gallon of gas.
To my surprise, this generator is awesome , quite, and the dual fuel option is a plus and a must have. I live a long the gulf costal area and my last hurricane/storm was pretty bad without power for a week. This would have a came in handy if I had it at the time. Also with the gas prices going up these days it's nice to have an alternative fuel option that's just as good in rating compared to gasoline. Several other plus for this generator is the remote start, push start, and hoses for the propane tank. You can't ask for more for the price and to have a generator that's quite and runs for 10 hours in a major win.
Just received my WGEN3600DF dual fuel generator. It was very well packaged and it's well built and impressive looking as well. I did not run it yet, snowing out. I put it together in the living room. Wheels are simple to put on, a bolt through the wheel, a washer on the inside With a push pin/spring clip type fastener pushed through the bolt and it's on, about 1 minute per wheel. The rubber feet go on with 2 small bolts with locking caps. I used my impact drill with a socket...less than a minute on each. Everything is tight fitting and well designed. It came with a bottle of oil (10W30 4 stroke small engine). It also came with a screw in funnel to fill the oil without the usual mess. I'm confident given the ratings it will run well and be a great item for camping. I had to upgrade my 2200W max generator, as it won't run the a/c in my new camper. After 3 days of comparing reviews etc, I choose the Westinghouse made in vietnam, because it was RV ready, and it looks very high end. Oh, electric start too, I'm getting too old to be cranking on a rewind. AND it comes with a Fob to start it remotely. It's going to get some looks, and i suspect others we camp with will have some envy, not that that its what i was going for.
Start up was easy and ran smooth from the first start. The handle and back wheels make the generator easy to move. We have only used it once but all went well. Ran for 5 hours without any hesitation or stopping. Could hardly hear it inside the house.
