I picked this unit up 3 days ago and am pleased with the result. It was slow to start Initially had problems starting with LPG, but after I let it break in, it would start and stop fine with LPG. I ran it on a small amount of gasoline also and it ran much longer than my older generator would on the same amount of gas. I connected it to the garage lighting circuit for a load. That was 10 4 foot and 2 2 foot florescent regular tubes. That would have been about 440 watts. Never even had a light flicker. Easy to maneuver with the wheels and swing up handle.
1st generator, just wanted one for short outages. Arrived fast and undamaged. Started easily on LP and Gas. Excellent manual and items included (funnel, oil, wrenches etc.) Have not run it under a load yet. Only 4 stars because it has no hour or voltage meter and no simple way to drain gas from tank to store it. But a great price. Great fit and finish!!
I live in a zone that has possible hurricanes on a yearly basis . I didn't want to be caught without a reserve power source . I purchased the Westinghouse generator and i'm very pleased with the safety features and the ease of starting it . It's equiped with an electric start and can run for an extended length of time . I can even use it on my RV . I'm very pleased.
Bought this for our lake house to power fridge and a few other electric items when the power goes out. Especially love the dual fuel option as we have propane at our house. Easy to assemble and fired right up once fueled and oil added.
Bought this generator to be prepared for the coming winter since I live in an outage prone area. Set up was straight forward and simple. I connected a propane tank and ran it for 15 minutes without issues. Includes everything you need to get going except for fuel. The included oil is precisely the amount you need. Not too heavy at just about 100 pounds. Feels like a wheel barrow full or dirt to move. We'll see how it performs in a power outage situation.
