There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I plan to NOT use gasoline as I own no other gas powered machines other than my car. I am lazy and don’t want the hassle of stabilizing gas, cleaning the float bowl, etc. I have multiple 20# LP tanks on hand. After filling the oil, connecting the battery and connecting the LP tank with the included hose, I pushed the START button and the gen fired right up with no hesitation. I let it run 5 minutes then hit the START button to stop it. It stopped with no issue. I pressed the START button on the key fob and again, it started right up. I let the unit run for 4 hours straight. At various times during the break in period, I added devices to put a load on it as recommended in other reviews. The gen ran smoothly and there were no oil leaks. The next day, I started it with the pull cord and it started in two pulls. After the break in period, I changed the oil and used synthetic 5W30 instead of the supplied 10W30. I want no issues in the dead of winter if needed. So far, I’m very happy with it and can’t wait for an outage!
PROS
Dual fuel
More than enough power for my fridge, freezer and furnace.
Delivery inside my garage.
Rolls easily using the fold down handle.
Oil change was easy.
Digital meter tells when service is needed for spark plug, filters, etc.
The CO sensor shut down the gen when I tested it with the shed door closed.
CONS
It’s loud! I have it in a well ventilated shed.
It’s heavy. 220# or so
The oil drain plug is 12MM not 10MM as indicated in the instructions.
There is no crush washer with the oil drain plug as indicated in the instructions. There haven’t been any leaks without it though.
MEH
The fob. Not sure what the point of the fob is. To use it, you’d have to leave the propane tank valve open or the gasoline valve open, both of which are NO-NOs when the gen is not being used.

It seems to be finicky with gasoline. I put a very small amount in it to test last season, and regretted not draining it over the winter. It would start, but not run well, pulsing before it died in less than 30 seconds. I always use non-ethanol, premium gasoline in my yard devices, so I was a bit surprised that it didn't survive the winter. I've not had this problem with my Toro mower, even when I neglect to winterize it. Anyway, I drained the gas, and put in fresh, treated gas, and then it ran well past the point it had stalled on my previous attempts. The fuel line is tied up and a bit short, but is not difficult to reach, and with a tall funnel, and a pair of pliers, the fuel can be drained without a lot of drama. This is very important for storage. I have purchased a propane tank, but have not yet tested running on propane. Propane can store indefinitely, so that's a big plus.
The remote worked to electric start from inside the house, several rooms away from the outside generator location, so that's a nice feature, but I'll likely not use it because placement of the generator needs to be secured, and weather-protected, so I'll probably "be around" when it is running. I plan to store it in an outside, locked, vented storage locker...someday.
It's heavy, but the wheels are large and lugging it around is as expected for a larger generator.
The feature panel and plug options appear to be similar to my previous non-Westinghouse generator purchased 10 years ago, so it is nice to see that companies aren't trying to reinvent the wheel. We use these devices so infrequently, it is counter-productive if one has to RTFM every time it has to be used, and these are often emergency situations. Simplicity is best. That's why I don't care if it's heavy, or loud. Just make it solid, reliable, repairable, and it easy to figure out and use. Computer makers could take some notes here.
Pros:
- not unusually difficult to start
- loads of options
- pretty standard features, didn't try to over-"innovate"
- dual-fuel
- feels well-built
- cosmetic, I like the blue
Cons:
- seems picky about gasoline
- won't start, even with manual pull, without some charge in the battery
- heavy
- loud
Top reviews from other countries
Unfortunately this generator stopped generating again at 100 hrs of use (we were only running about 7 hours per day) - after producing a dodgy voltage while it was working {202v not 240v). I'm sure it's the AVR again; I'll bet there's a whole bad batch. Anyway I've been back in touch with the Quebec company and they are getting resistance from "the Manufacturer" about fixing this.
This has been a huge letdown - and Winter is coming here in PEI.
