    • Winning Generator
Style: 5000 Watts - Gas Only - Remote Start
This generator starts easy, runs quiet, is fuel efficient and is really well designed. It is easy to get to the oil and battery. As and RV’r, I have had several generators that were powerful or quiet, this one is both. Even the fuel fill is deep enough to fill without spilling, which may seem like a small thing but the last thing I want is a gas smell after filling the generator up. It was able to power my RV AC, water heater and microwave at the same time. The remote for stop start is just convenient and works great. This is a winner. ... show more

    • Quiet and Easy to Set Up and Use
Style: 5000 Watts - Dual Fuel - Remote Start
We have used this generator a couple of times this summer while camping. It works really well and was easy to set up! It barely used any power when I ran our air conditioner. We have a small Flagstaff A-frame camper, so I can't say how it would hold up with a larger one. I love the remote control option because we can turn it on and off while in the camper which is lovely when the weather is bad. I was very happy that it was a quiet generator, just as the reviews said. I was also relieved that it isn't too heavy. My husband and I lift it into the back of our truck without a problem. I have already recommended this item to a few family members and friends. ... show more

    • Overall, very happy with the purchase.
Style: 5000 Watts - Dual Fuel - Remote Start
I've had this now for about 8 months. I followed the recommendation of other reviews and bought a drain extension to make changing the oil easier and cleaner. I installed this before I filled it with oil the first time. Ideally you should buy this before you need it and break it in properly following the directions in the included manual as you keep it below 50% power and vary the load. Upon the recommendation of another friend I changed the oil multiple times during that break in period. I found lots of metal fragments in the oil each time I changed it during the break in. Once I was happy with how the oil looked coming out I stopped changing the oil. It ended up being something like 8 times. Maybe overkill, but I want to help the motor as much as I can for longevity. It's primary function for us will be a backup generator for when we lose power. As such, I only intend on using the propane function so I don't have to worry about fuel going bad. I've only done the break along with the additional oil changes so I have around 18 hours on it. I didn't even use a full 20lb propane tank. That wasn't a full service load either, but I was still happy with the fuel consumption amount. I like that the noise increases and decreases with the load and that it isn't just this constant steady loud noise. It's very portable with the wheels and handle and makes it easier to get in and out of the garage. It's a bit heavy if you were needing to lift this up (into a pickup or up and down stairs) but not out of the question. This unit about the right size for us offering the power we need for outages. I like that it has different types of receptacles to charge and power a variety of things. While costing more than other standard generators its a good value for an inverter generator. The included FOB worked great and I was able to remote start the generator from inside the house. During inclement weather this would be a big plus. I can't really think of any cons except for maybe access to the oil drain/fill. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase and it will pay for itself after the first multi-day outage we have by not having to throw away our perishables in the fridges and freezer. Time will tell on longevity, but so far so good. ... show more

    • If you are willing to check everything, this is a well built generator. 2 year update.
Style: 5000 Watts - Gas Only - Remote Start
I purchased this in August 2020 after reading all of the reviews and troubles Westinghouse had and resolved with the rollout of this generator. As I am very familiar with small engines, generators and inverter generators on a technical level, I can say this generator was well thought out and well built for a consumer generator. Would I buy this again if the time came? YES.. Now, if your experience and what I've read here also happened to me to an extent so hopefully this review can help. When I added gas and oil (See problem with oil screw below) that came with it to the engine, I noticed gasoline all over the bottom of the unit. I found the tester didn't close the bowl drain screw and set me up for a huge mess to clean up. The battery came charged and the unit was well packed and arrived without damage. One thing to keep in mind is this listing has several sellers so your mileage may vary. I didn't have any issue with the instrument panel or 120v RV plug being backwards or misaligned. Spark plug was good, gas tank was clean and the remote and choke work well. It seems to me when I manually start, it seems as if the choke is kicking in but I live in Florida, it just might need it. What I don't like in regards to the choke is there is no manual switch so if it is to be manually started and IF it does not automatically engage, I have to remove a cover to start it and quite frankly, that is not cool. The internal ventilation seems well thought out and works well. I've been monitoring various temps and the inverter stays cool for me. Voltage Stability: This generator does output stable voltage at a given draw but seems to remain on a sort of 'eco' mode when eco mode is turned off. Yes, eco mode works with a small load but once you get 50% or higher, turning it on or off doesn't matter. The voltage output will drop dramatically on other loads when a heavy load like a pool pump is turned on with less than 50% initial load. My previous inverter generator only had this issue when it was on eco mode.. This unit doesn't seem to get out of eco mode. Which is good normally for fuel economy, bad when you also have computers without a UPS also connected. Some bolts on the frame showed scars as if they were over torqued. The OIL screw used to drain the oil was so tight it would not unscrew and the entire collar came off with the screw. If you purchase this generator, be prepared to check everything including gas lines, bowl valve, bolt tightness, spark plug, etc and make sure you can remove the oil bolt before you put oil in it or you will have a big mess when you change the oil after the initial runin. Update 2022-04-15 This generator is used as a whole house backup which includes automation to start and switch over to generator in the event the power goes out. I have been running once a week for 30 minutes as a weekly test and several times during an action power outage for almost 2 years without any issues. I still have the same issue I noted before when an appliance like a refrigerator start up, since this generator is still not running full speed when eco mode is turned off, there is a short period of power lag but it isn't enough to restart computers so it is tolerable. I replaced the oil screw and put it inside a home build generator shed with a raspberry pi to control the fan and starting of the generator. After 2 years, it still looks, starts and runs like new. I removed most of the covers after building the shed so insure there was enough ventilation and it is still very quiet compared to even smaller inverters that also claim to be super quiet. Inside a rockwool insulated generator shed, we can barely notice is running when we are inside the house. We have had power outages and woke up to being on backup power. It didn't disturb us at all and didn't realize it was on until I went outside. I am still very happy with this purchase even after 2 years. ... show more
