Ran with propane for wired in home essentials after a 2 day power outage. Worked excellent for gas burner, circulator pumps, refrigerator, gas stove, and some lighting. Microwave also use but noted a significant loading. Also noted with a toaster. Coffee maker was ok.
The Westinghouse appeared to be my best option in the size/price range, all things considered. I don’t need a full on pad mount with a transfer switch at the electrical service panel, but I did want something which could temporarily run a fan or small portable heater, TV and keep food cold in the fridge. The Dual fuel option is another nice touch. Well built and priced right!
Our awesome generator arrived today. It was easy to put together and easy to start. The key fob is fantastic. Shipping was quick and it will be a pleasure to use when the power is out.
I bought this in October just to have on hand for emergency use. We do noy have a history of power outages in this area, however, last winter experienced about a 14 hour outage. I use a Bi-PAP and Oxygen at night so its crucial to have those to sleep safely. We purchased the 3600 model which will perform the necessary capabilities, while also supplying power for a small appliances on an as needed basis to provide some comfort should an outage occur. I was really pleased how simple the set-up was, just took a few minutes. Start-Up was incredibly easy also. Used the key fob remote and the Generator started right away. Its size is very convenient for storage in my garage also and stores and moves easily. The comfort to know I now have emergency back up for power at my home is very relieving. Not to mention its size and weight makes it easy to pack to take on camping trips and other outdoor adventures.
