Westinghouse 5000 Peak Watt Super Quiet Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator, Wheel & Handle Kit, Gas & Propane Powered, RV Ready, CO Sensor, Parallel Capable

I recently purchased this gas-propane inverter generator, and I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. It arrived in time and without any issues with the shipping. The setup was straightforward and easy to follow with the provided instructions, and I had it up and running in no time. The dual fuel option is a fantastic feature, providing flexibility depending on what's available, and the switch between gas and propane is seamless. One of the standout features of this generator is how smooth it runs. It's much quieter than I expected, which is a big plus when you're using it around the house. The power output is consistent, and it handles everything I throw at it without a hitch. Portability is another big win. This generator is very portable based on the power it outputs and has a convenient handle and wheels to get it into position, making it easy to move around. In short, this inverter generator is reliable, user-friendly, and versatile. If you're looking for a solid generator that delivers on its promises, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

The generator arrived on the day promised on an Amazon delivery truck. It was packed in a sturdy box which showed no damage. It was completely assembled and fairly heavy, about 100 pounds. It came with a nicely printed documentation package which included a replacement parts list. There was a box of accessories which included a quart of oil, a funnel to pour the oil into the unit, and a pouch of tools. My unit was made in Vietnam. I put oil into the unit using the funnel, which is pretty much required to get oil into the crankcase. It took about 75% of the quart to get 2/3 of the way up the dip stick. I fueled it with 87 octane ethanol free gasoline. I flipped the ON switch, fully choked it, and started pulling the starting rope. It took a total of 12 pulls to start it. At around pull 8, it putted a time or two. I pulled it a couple more times before moving the choke to 1/2. It then started on the second pull. It would probably have started sooner had I reduced the choke after the first putt. After running a while, I stopped it and tried to restart it. It starts best with some choke applied even when it is warm. It runs at a very low noise level. Its noise level is about the same as another generator I have that is less than half the power output. The data center provides some good information such as fuel level, runtime, and output load. I ran it for about an hour, never loading it above 1 KW. The break-in period is 5 hours at no more than 50% load. It ran well and supplied all the loads I tried just fine. I expect that it will provide years of reliable service. Also, Westinghouse has a very good website to support its products, including this unit.

Generator fired right up on first break-in period (NOTE-I used Propane for initial break-in period, then switched to gasoline. I've only had it for a month, so I'll report back if I experience any issues. So far, so great! And yes, it is VERY quiet. I was able to stand right next to it and conduct a phone conversation.

This generator works well. It was recommended to us by someone else who owns the same one.

Very affordable and quiet And fuel efficient,

This generator has a "whopping" 31 hours of run time since it was bought. before the season starts I did an oil change and the oil was filled for metal shavings (THIRTY ONE hours TOTAL). I replace the oil and spark plug but the generator would not work properly, it would rev up, shut down with the rec "overload" like blinking (Nothing plugged in). I put back the original spark plug and there was no difference, I reached out to the "support" It took 5 emails just to get to the "we need you serial number" and yet another one to tell me to register for the warranty. Now I have to find an authorized service provider that Westinghouse will allow to work on this POS. Instead of taking accountability and trying to help find a solution, the "support" is send me on my own and hoping I'd give up. If I saw this review before buying, I'd buy something else and so should you.

Works great. Isn’t too loud. Good value for the money I think.

Just started it up with gas and it ran fine. Haven't used it more than that yet. Maybe try propane tomorrow Filling the oil was an adventure and a mess. It comes with .6L of oil, and it says on the unit that the oil capacity is .6. But if you put it all in, it overflows and makes a mess. The tricky thing, too, is that I put about 2/3 of the bottle in, and checked the level, and it was at about 1/2. So I guess it fills up quickly from there to full. It would have been nice to know that.
