Well built

U just received my wgen12000. It's a powerhouse starts up and purrs like kitten. Voltage and frequency stay constant. Virtually no fluctuations. Bought it for power outages during storms. Hopefully won't need it anytime soon but feel better know I have a generator that handle all major appliances in my home.

Good Generator

Just got the generator. Fast delivery (2 days). Easy set up, started fast. It appears to be able to run my entire house during an outage. We will see. A bit noisy but I put it by my garage and that helped. Thank you for the fast delivery. Great generator for the price.

Very easy start,

Bought this generator three days ago and it was delivered today. Getting the shipping create out from under it took a bit of ingenuity. Very well packed and easy to assemble. Started very easily. I am sure it will handle my needs on the next power outage. Very pleased and would recommend it to all my friends.

When the power company can't, now I can.

My previous generator took both (the generator and I) of us to keep the house going during power outages. Now I can relax and let the generator do all the work. After reading many reviews and talking with neighbors and friends who own backup generators, Westinghouse was the name most recommended. I have used the generator two times so far and all is well. Using the fob to start this thing is great. The control panel is well laid out and easy to understand. This is a great package. I will be recommending this generator to all of my friends.

Powerful and easy to use

Upgraded to this generator, plus has an electrician install a transfer switch, after three days without power a few months ago. Now the whole house is powered up conveniently with the push of a button on the generator. Has fired up the first time every time. Got us through a one-day event already. Honestly, we were a bit intimidated getting such a big generator but it turned out to be easier to use than the little one we had before.

Good power and voltage stability.

Using for whole house power backup during utility outages. Good power and voltage/frequency stability with varying loads. Handles motor starting surges (HVAC, well pump, etc) pretty well. Would be nice to have a quieter muffler, even if such were available as a added cost option.

Built like a Tank and powerful

The WGen1200 is has solid construction and great build quality. It's built like a tank. The features are great, including the push start button and multiple ways to plug in equipment. The handles are strong and make it easy to like and move the generator around. All in all, it's a great investment and gives me peace of mind in the event of a power outage at my house.

Very nice

Amazingly light, compact, with easy to operate controls and simple instructions. Even maintenance functions are easy. For charging 12 batteries (with a battery charger/conditioner, buy separately) this generator works great - it sips gasoline but still puts out usable power.

Great purchase

My generator was just delivered and it is sweet. It has a remote start, which is fantastic for my wife, who would not be able to pull start a generator. I can now feel comfortable that when I have to be at work during a hurricane, that I know the power situation is a non-factor.

has all the features and power I was looking for i

I just received the generator today and it was very easy to put together (basically put on the wheels, lift bracket, hook up the battery and add the included motor oil). It is heavy and would be helpful if you have another person to get the generator off of the pallet that it was shipped on. I can't wait to give the generator a good workout and see how it handles as a whole house generator.
