I just purchased this generator and did a test run. It worked fine.

havn't had it long enough for a good review. It runs fine and seems that it will serve my purpose

This portable generator is everything the description says it is. It runs our 2000sq ft home with no problem. It doesn't drag when our air conditioner kicks on, it's tough. It will definitely serve it's purpose during hurricane season in SWLA!! Plenty of outlets for extra plug-ins. It is surprisingly quiet for as big as it is. We have no complaints and are super happy with our purchase. Pretty sure we will be putting it to the ultimate test during hurricane season. I have no worries, it's going to provide the power to my home and then some. Thank you Westinghouse!!

I bought this beast to run my commercial floor grinding and epoxy business. The first 4 months it ran well. After that it would start up and whenever I put a load on the generator it would cut off. It's a pain to keep restarting the generator every 10 to 15 minutes because it keeps cutting off. Thank you Westinghouse for making my life harder than it really is. I can run 2 generac generators nonstop with no issues.

Initial review is this is a beast. If your looking for a roll into your truck and go, this is not the one. It's heavy and huge! With that said, ran it for the initial run in period with my 30ft travel trailer as the load, AC on and everything else electric I could turn on and it didn't even blink. Startup of this generator was as easy as checking oil, adding gas and pressing the start button. I haven't seen the problems others have whined about. If I do ill update at a later time. Follow the instructions, which are easy to follow, and you are good to go. The only thing I did find noticeable is it is a tad on the louder site, but it is a V twin engine and again high in watts and amps so to be expected. When the power goes out to the house, don't particularly care as it's outside.

Do not buy this generator!!!!! It's brand new out of the box trying to do first start up and won't start . I spent a tun of money on this and you would think it would at least start by the 3rd attempt but nothing. Very disappointed and feel like I've been robbed money.

This has been one of the best investments I've made so far!!! The wgen 12000 has out performed every job and tasks ive had. Lately with the power outages we have had, our Westinghouse generator has kept my family with power and as well as some of the neighbors around us keeping them warm and the appliances going Thank you Westinghouse!! Truly yours, From the Thompson family

I had to wait a long time to find one of these in stock, but eventually received one a week ago. The (large) box was placed in my garage by the delivery company. Assembly was easy sitting on it's wooden pallet. Getting it off the pallet is a different proposition. Be sure that you appreciate how heavy 600lbs really is. You need something capable of lifting that. At the limit, four reasonably strong men could probably take a corner each and lift it while someone pulled the pallet out from beneath it. I used the front loader on my tractor with the bucket removed. The weight is the only negative so far, but I knew that when I bought it. On the topic of weight, I would be very reluctant to try to move this down any sort of hill/slope by hand. I initially put just over a gallon of gas in the tank. It wasn't enough. Given the size of the tank, I wasn't surprised. Added 5 gallons more, and it started with no problem. Is it noisy? Well, any generator that runs at 3600 RPM is going to be noisy, but I have a 6kw generator that I have been using to power essential items, such as freezer, water pump, family room lights, microwave, kettle etc. This is, subjectively, no noisier. It is obviously a different sound, twin cylinder vs single, large cooling fan etc. But placed in the same location where I used the old generator, with the doors closed, it is practically inaudible, as was it's predecessor. Adding a second socket to power the rest of the circuits I was able to power the entire house and run different appliances, water heater, etc. I also tried out the AC, which fired up ok. I don't dare switch it into heat-pump mode though, it has twin 20kw heat strips, and my thermostat is a little too liberal with their use, and there is no way to disable them. One comment on using the less expensive 50A plastic covered cables. I tried them out in 65°F weather, and even at that temperature, they are very stiff. Mine also have right angled plugs rather than straight which makes plugging them into the generator difficult unless you do it right. The wheel gets in the way if you try to plug in directly. The trick is to lay the cable behind the wheel and plug in the front/leftmost first, then lay the next on top of that and plug in the second. It's easy this way (see the attached photo). Alternatively, pay a lot more for rubber covered cables and/or find cables with straight plugs rather than right angled. It's also worth noting that the plastic covered cables become MUCH more flexible when they are warm, so you might consider storing them indoors rather than next to the generator.

I purchased this generator in preparation for the Texas 2024 hurricane season. The setup was easy. The machine is well built. I had a chance to use this generator during hurricane Beryl which hit my town on July 10th, 2024. Once we lost power, I was able to switch to this generator and it has performed great. We are in out 5th day without electricity and the generator is still running great.

Bought this as an electrical replacement for when the power goes out. It was delivered professionally in 4 days from purchase. The 15/12 generator was packaged appropriately, and started on the first push of the button starter. This generator is actually 20db quieter than my 7500 generator...LOL!
