I was originally looking at the Predator generators to power my new camper. My camper needs at least 1.8kW continuous to run the AC and the fridge at the same and the 2kW Predator only provides 1.6kW continuous and the jump up to 3.5kW unit was huge in both price and size. There is an apparent hole in their product line for the 2.5kW class of generator. So I saw Honda makes a 2.2kW unit, but the Honda units are very expensive. So, I found this 2.5kW Westinghouse that had good reviews and ordered one.

So far I've only run it for the 5 hour break-in with varying a light load, but it's pretty quiet once you aren't standing right on top of it and I can barely hear it inside my garage with it running right outside the door. I like the Eco mode to drop the RPMs to idle when there's no electrical draw and I really like the LCD display with fuel and power output gauges. Having a digital display that shows fuel remaining in liters, runtime until empty (at current power output), power output, voltage output, and lifetime running hours is just really convenient.

It's pretty compact too and easy to move around. It has some nice things I wasn't expecting like the fuel cap has a metal chain retaining it to the unit, the filter inside the filler neck has a big red FULL marker to avoid overfilling, it came with a toolkit including a screw-in funnel for the oil port, and the spark plug has an easy access cover over it.

It is a carbureted unit like every other generator, so sometimes there's a smell of fuel after moving it around or if it gets tipped on its side. Also the carb doesn't have any kind of adjuster screw for tuning the fuel, so if you plan to use this in high altitude you need to order the high altitude kit from Westinghouse. The kit comes with 3 different sets of jets and seals for varying altitudes from 2k'-7k'. The procedure to swap the jets out looks a bit more involved than I had hoped for and looks like it will be a pain to do often. I plan on driving my camper from sea level up to 9k' and everywhere in between so I'll need to swap the jets fairly often depending on where I end up on that day in the mountains.

So my only real complaint is that I wish the altitude adjustment was easier.

Only used for about a hour so far but it seems very quite and powerful. I ran a circular saw and that only uses about 25%. So in my application I can be charging batteries and running saws on a job site with little noise and great gas usage. As long as it is reliable like a Honda then Westinghouse has me in on their products

Bought this to run the a/c on our GEO-PRO 19BH. The A/C is a Coleman Mach 8 without a soft start. Surprised at how quiet the generator was on high-cool start up. Using propane only and the a/c was pulling 1200-1330 watts on a 94 degree humid day. Will test out for efficiency when we boondock next weekend. Highly recommended for campers.

Read the book; followed the instructions. Started on very first pull, and not even a hard pull. Ran it for while with no load then added a small load. Plan to continue the break in and then switch to full synthetic. After borrowing a generator twice I bought this one to have on hand for emergencies and for boondocking. I like how quiet, the dual fuel, the weight, and the 30amp output.

It's quiet when not on eco, and very quiet when on eco. The rubber feet are very thick and do a good job of limiting the vibrations transmitting through the deck to the house. The dual fuel plan for an extended emergency was to use the propane as the base load and switch to gas when trading out the propane tanks. Carrying it with one hand is no more awkward that a heavy suitcase. And the 30a will give us the option to choose more remote camping.

One other reason is the forward compatibility with other WH generators in parallel. If we need more power in the future we just get another one. A bigger one and combine their output.

The generator is quiet and easy to use. It's not too heavy... it can be lifted to put in a truck bed and lifted out without ramps, dollies, etc. It has wheels on one end and an extended handle on the other to wheel around. Based on the other Westinghouse generator I own, I'm assuming it will be reliable.
The issue is that it has a floating ground which, after some research, I learned is not fully grounded and won't pop the fuses if there is a surge from an appliance. When I connected my circuit analyzer/surge protector for my RV, it it indicated no ground. There was nothing in the description or in the user manual how to properly ground for an RV. After a lot more research, I found the Southwire Company LLC Neutral-Ground Bonding Plug (sold by: Amazon.com). This small ~$20 product provides grounding which now reads as a proper circuit for the RV. Based on the poor explanation of grounding from Westinghouse and propsed option or solutions for RV use, I'm rating this as 4-star. There should be further details for proper grounding with an RV.
