Super quiet & easy to start

Nice unit, starts right up and just purrs until you need some juice, then it ramps up to meet demand. Plan to use with our Class C for economical power all day instead of starting/stopping the built in 4000w genset just to watch tv or charge a phone.

Great features!

Received with no damage at all in a timely manner. Poured in oil and hooked up propane tank. No gas in it yet because of storage purposes. Fired right up with push button and then remote. Haven't tried a load yet but will soon. Looks like an awesome machine! Very easy to move around! Balanced just right.

Appears well made with many features

I purchased this recently to use as a whole house portable generator. I love the low THD and remote start features. The product is new. The drop down warranty menu lists the WGen12000 but not the dual fuel model that I purchased. Registration online was easy. Hoping for online maintenance parts ordering from Westinghouse. soon.

Solid

Installed and one push of the button came to life. Have not used it to power my home yet ... working on installing the Transfer box etc. the reason I purchased this is because of the brand. Hopefully this unit will work well and provide me with years of service. I plan to use this as a stand-by for my home.

Hope it lives up to it.

Bought this bad boy because it's supposed to be able to run my entire house. Being a Louisiana resident during hurricane season, who could ask for anything more. If lights go out or god forbid one comes our way, I'll be sure to come back and give a review that I can 100% stand behind.

Great Product

Great machine. Came packed well, went together easily. The only 3 things I would change is 1: The dipstick requires careful re insertion to seat it properly. 2.The oil fill cap only dies into a hole cut in the valve cover.It must be carefully and gently screwed back in. 3.The gas on and off when hot comes out if the push in holder. Be careful turning on and off pulling it towards you to operate. Do not force it.

Solid Generator

Arrived this week and powered it up for the first time today. Easy to set up and started up on the first try. The remote on/off works perfectly. Nice that Westinghouse includes the first bottle of oil. The wheel pins appear to be different from what they show in the instructional part of the user manual, but the parts diagram shows the ones actually included. Be sure to have some help when removing the machine from the pallet. Very pleased with this purchase.

Husband loves it

Since we were caught in the 'snowmageadon' of 2020 last year here in Texas, we wanted to be sure that we were prepared for any power emergency. Having research many other products, we settled on the WGen 12000. Once received, my husband easily put it together, and it was much lighter than we expected. He himself was able to lift if off of the crate. Now, having said that he is a physically fit male... He did what the instructions said, and it started up without a hitch! I strongly advise that an electrician is consulted. We put in a power 'switch" and are having him come back to make sure that generator is properly hooked up and we can properly and easily switch the power from our home to the generator.

Powerful and flexible

Bought this as a backup for the entire house. The two 240V outputs (one 50A and the other 30A) are perfect for connecting to my two panels. The output is enough to allow me to use pretty much everything in the house, well pump, sewer pump, AC/heat pumps, gas water heater and furnace, washer/dryer, as well as the typical items like lights, computers, stove and microwave. On the wish list side, it'd be nice to be quieter and have a lower THD.

so far so good

After review of past recommendations, I bought this machine to power our house during any power outages. I pulled the plug on the house and this machine powered the entire house including 2 refrigerators, multiple overhead fans, and 3 computers. So far, so good. Thanks.
