Good dual fuel generator
on March 11, 2018
Posted by: Just Me
from Upstate NY
Just received it and started right up with propane gas. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that the enclosed oil funnel was broken up on arrival (likely cause was related to some damage to the outside of the box) and also a slight discrepancy between the "quick start guide" and the user manual. The quick start guide did not mention that the battery was not attached to cables and that the engine mount was partially blocking the ability to insert the cotter pin, as well as the battery was facing the wrong way. After following said quick steps I had to revert to the manual to remove one tire so that I could remove battery to connect the battery and reinstall the tire.

Easy Start, Runs Great

I live in an off-grid tiny house and I bought this generator to charge my batteries when my solar panels are not making enough power. I have an Outback FXR inverter with a Mate3 controller. I setup the controller to automatically start and stop a generator. I had to make a simple relay circuit to interface between the generator and the inverter. The wiring schematic in the manual was accurate which made it possible for me to wire into the generator battery switch and start push button. I then plumbed the generator into my propane tank for my house and now my generator is completely automated. I don't have to worry about keeping a fuel tank full. This generator was perfect for me because it was dual fuel, electric start with auto choke, and the start push button made it easy to wire into my circuit. My generator has run 20 hours so far and no problems. The output power is high quality for running any electronics in your house. My inverter won't accept poor quality generator sources but it accepts this one just fine.

Good value on this dual fuel, electric start generator

Showed up with some shipping damage. Westinghouse sent me parts for free to fix it. I repaired the damage, added oil and broke it in as per recommended procedure. It started up quick and ran smooth on propane. The battery was pre charged. The remote start is a nice feature as well. The exhaust noise was not too bad either.

Easy setup and use

This generator worked for 3 days keeping the sump pump running during this latest storm. The ease of propane fuel and remote start gave piece of mind that it could be tenderd by just about anyone. So far a great product... Now for the bad part... While it has nothing to do with the overall operation, quality is very important. This unit was the second to arrive with its vibration support leg broken. The quality and thickness of the casting needs to be improved. The good news is that the customer service manager..MT has been very helpful in rectifying the issue. I hope in the end a viable solution can be found as I'm sure others have received similarly damaged units.

Good initial start up. It's time for generator manufacturers to figure out a better way to check and fill oil. It is so difficult and messy.
