Westinghouse 5,000/3,900 W Dual-Fuel Portable Inverter Generator, RV Outlet, Electric Start

Started on the first try. Runs smoothly and is not too loud. Minimal setup required.

I purchased this generator 14 months ago and have used it on two extended (3+ week) camping/hunting trips in Colorado as well as some shorter trips in Michigan. All at rustic campsites where I needed AC power to run appliances or to recharge my camper's primary battery supply. I did quite a bit of research on inverter generators and selected this Westinghouse model (vs competitors) based on power output, noise levels, weight, run duration, feature options (i.e. electric/remote start, dual fuel), and consumer ratings. I am not sorry that I did. This unit has served me well for these uses and should be large enough to run my critical household appliances in the evetn of a power failure. The only exception, and the reason I am not giving it a 5 star rating, is that the electric start (including remote) did not adequately function shortly after I began using it. This necessitated manual starting, which at times could take multiple pulls and normally at least two. After dealing with this through a second major trip and 13 months of ownership, I finally decided to contact Westinghouse service to resolve the issue. They were easy to communicate/work with (primarily via email once I filed a claim). We confirmed the issue was a bad battery and they are now sending me a replacement. With this replacement I should be back to full functionality with this generator and am pleased with my purchase. Love all the features, the lower noise level and the portability.

This was bought for an off grid cabin an is run off of propane. It has work great for what it’s needed to power and is quiet and efficient. We use a 40 lb tank and with on and off use it will run over 35+ hours. Dual fuel is the way to go only use the gas option in the event of no propane.

Good value for the purchase price. This is my second Westinghouse generator. I bought an open frame generator five years ago and it still starts with ease.
