When a Warm cup of tea in the morning with 7 degree temps becomes a luxury- you know your life has changed….
WGen12000
This unit was purchased as a replacement for a Generac- 8000W unit so we could have the option to run a significan portion of the house off a transfer switch.
After the Massive ice storm of 2026 in Nashville- i have a real life report on the unit!!
We were one of 3homes in our neighborhood of 120 homes that actually had power throughout the week of emergency shut down affecting 50% of the Nashville power grid!
We had never used this generator prior, but I took it out the week before made sure it ran/was gassed up in the event that it was needed!
we had three days of no power with temperatures outside of @ 7°
Our neighborhood was abandoned as most people went to hotels- ourselves and maybe two other families stayed behind because we had made provisions for heat!
can't emphasize enough how important having access to reliable power is - as I have told my friends- ‘when waking up in the morning And having a hot cup of tea becomes a luxury you know the parameters of your life have changed'.
This unit gave us normalcy in the midst of chaos- it allowed us to run a 4 ton heating unit/gas powered, about half of the lights in our home, all of our refrigerators/deep freeze and our pool Utilities.
At 7° if you have a swimming pool and you don't keep the water moving through the pump/pipes, it will destroy all of your pool equipment
We ran this for @60 hours over the first few days until then power came back (a dozen homes still have no power)- 2 days later- we lost it again for another eight hours!
Since then, I have done an oil change replaced the oil filter plugs cleaned the air filter- it's so well designed to accommodate maintenance- i did change the oil to a 5-30 synthetic and i add fuel additives to keep the injectors clean- but other than that - its straight out of the box
The Wgen12000-ran Consistently in 0° weather For two days straight- I can't imagine Having a product that was more impressive Than this unit!! I wish all my neighbors had access to reliable power- its was really something to see a neighborhood of multi million dollar home abandonded!!
In summary We ran almost our entire 7000' home with the exception of the washer/dryer, double ovens, microwave, Steam oven- And a few other appliances that pulled a lot of energy.
We had all of the island plugs so we could use air fryers We could use All the countertop appliances from Vitamix blenders To Toaster ovens, hot water, all personal electronics and much of the fans/lights in our home
This unit performed admirably - and gave us a sense of normalcy for my family while there was chaos in the community !!!
Thanks so much !!
