Very Well Made Generator

I reviewed a lot of generator and settled on this unit. I am impressed of the quality of the craftsmanship of the complete unit. My main reason I got this unit is my wife has to use a C-Pap Machine and if we lose power to the house I can connect this unit to my outdoor panel and keep her equipment running.

A Beast

My neighbor bought this and my electrician recommended this generator. I have a dual panel breakers box so I needed this model. I ran it for about 7 hrs to break it in and have changed the oil and oil filter. Very easy to change. It didn't bat an eye when I tested it hooked up to the house. However it does take it two times to start each time and on one occasion it died and restarted by itself. The life timer on the unit also stopped working after that for some reason. Other than that, it is simple to operate.

New to Westinghouse Generators

Living on an acreage, we wanted a large portable generator to power everything. We purchased a Westinghouse WG 20000 and it arrived yesterday. First impressions were favourable. Although it isn't hooked up yet, we took it for a test drive to check the starting procedures, and to ensure it was getting fuel. Everything worked great. I'm sure it will work perfectly in an emergency in case of a power outage.

Large Output Generator

I don't make any purchase without extensive research. After careful consideration I purchased a WGen 12000. I received it one week ago and had it up and running in no time. It appears to be a particularly sturdy unit with all the features I need to run as backup during power failures. I am impressed with its <5% THD which will protect sensitive electronics. I look forward to many years of service from this generator and the security it will provide me.

Perfect fit for my back needs

I own a house that is all electric. We occasionally have a power outage and we need a generator to run our house. A stand alone system is far more expensive for the once in a while need. This unit runs my heat pump, fridge, internet and more with the two 50 AMP connections.

One wor

I upgraded form the wgen9500df and am a little on the fence on reviewing right now. I just received it a couple days ago and finally had my son come over to help me put it together. Ran the generator and seemed to run a little rough and I connected a lamp and it was dimming off/on. Will reach out to support and see how the support is. Will Update review once this is resolved. This is my second Westinghouse generator and had the wgen9500df since 2020 and has ran without a single hitch so am confident this will get resolved

Best Generator to buy

It takes care for what I need for my house. It has a lot of features that other generators don't have, that's why I chose this model Wgen10500TFC, also triple gas feature, I would recommend this Generator to all my friends. You won't be disappointed!!

Just what I needed!

I just bought this generator and the need is now over. However, it has all of the features I needed when Hurricane Milton hit. It appears to be in good working order and the company has been great to work with at this point as well. I will post another review once I use it which based on the weather pattern is Florida, will create the need again soon.

Using with generlink

I bought the wgen9500df It started right away put in 1.5 qts of 10-30 oil and am running for an hour for initial start up Purchased to tie into a generlink to run most of my house during power outages Have not installed yet but power company says it's Very easy Went this route vs a transfer switch as it's simple you just plug in the unit to your existing meter and hook up the generator and you can run as many breakers as your generator can manage

Best Generator I've Ever Owned

I bought this to run more items in my home during power outages. I have never been happier with a generator! This beast will run many appliances in the home without a struggle, and it's electric (and remote) start to boot! It has a nice digital display and it's very portable for this senior! It is a bit loud, but it's a big boy! Very little odor when running, too.
