Great Standby generator!

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!!

Westinghouse Wgen20000c

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.

WGen20000c

Needed a back-up Gen set for a 3200 Sq/ft home in Texas (Hurricane alley) Received a couple of days ago and hooked up to the house to test. Ran the entire house including A/C, hot water, stove etc until I shut it off after 10 hours. Even ran the pool pump! Very happy with the purchase!

Startup & Run didn't go well

I purchased March 18 2022, received March 31 2022, stored in garage until June 10 2022 for initial startup & run...followed all startup procedures. Then ran under moderate load for about 5-10 mins then it shut down. Ran again in an hour or so w/o any load and it shut down within 5-10 mins. I then called customer service.

Biggest portable on the market; two 50 amp outlets

Bought to support two buildings in close proximity to each other but totally separate electrically, so two 50 amp plugs was key for me. Just to power essentials in each building in an emergency. Recieved within a week or so of ordering, inclusive lift gate service (important). I live on a farm so have equipment to move heavy loads. But most importantly I feel prepared in case of a prolonged outage. With all our animals, simply leaving for while isn't an option. Very happy with whomever thought this product design up; well played!

Great generator for the house!

Recently purchased the generator and so far it's great! Idle control works well too! Even with a lid on it the generator is actually pretty quiet compared to others. The other big reason I went with this one is the low THD which you don't normally get, unless you go with a more expensive inverter generator.

What a BEAST!

I purchased this based on industry rating and am not disappointed! The output is great, having two 50amp outlets, pushing 12K each. My home has two AC units, so I installed Reliance 10 circuit transfer switch and the TRB0606C. The 10 circuit runs the smaller AC unit and eight other breakers, the TRB runs the larger AC unit and two other breakers. Love it and I can take it with me.

Great Product with everything included

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!

Great generator for jobsites

Just received this but have already used it on a job site. I have it powering two 20 in concrete grinders, two dust collectors and a 5in hand grinder and vac. No hiccups at all. It's pretty large and heavy but moves around ease with the large tires .So far I'm very impressed.

Great Product

I originally wanted a whole house generator in case of a hurricane. I also wanted a generator that I could take with me when I downsize and this one fit the bill. A "standby "generator would have to be sold with the house no money added to house value. This portable generator is big enough to power my current house and mobile so that when we downsize it will be able to power any smaller size house and have room to spare.
