Scotty, more power.

I had a smaller generator that could only provide me with 220/30 service (5700 watts). It would run everything but my A/C and hot water tank. I purchased this one so I could have 50amp/220 service and run everything in my house. I was amazed at all the features it had. Easy to set up and had running in just a few minutes. Really like the volt/amp/warning meter. The electric start is a big plus because at 73, I'm not a big fan of pull starting! Will be looking forward to testing it.

Initial Test Run GREAT

I bought this generator to ensure my family would not be without power when the unreliable Texas power grid goes down and having the flexibility of running either of the three fuels was greatly desired. During a 20 minute test run this thing was able to power our entire 3300 square-foot house on a single 50 amp breaker using natural gas gas. This thing is a power horse and a must for anybody wanting whole home power.

Great Product

I bought this generator to upgrade from a smaller older unit. It seems well built and looks good. I haven't had the chance to use it in a power outage yet but I plan to set it up as a semi permanent standby system. Westinghouse has the best reviews and that's why I decided on this unit.

4 out of 5 stars review

It's a BEAST!

Use this generator to charge my batteries due to being off grid. Could barely tell the engine was charging (no bogging down). My only complaint was that it came with negative battery cable disconnected. I understand why, but it was not noted on the quick start guide.

Works like a charm

I bought this to power my house when the electricity goes out. The assembly was straight forward. It's very heavy so you have to use a hoist or someone to help lift it off of the pallet. I bought this to run on propane. My only gripe is the switch to select gasoline or propane is poorly illustrated.

Great whole house backup generator

I bought this generator for emergency backup, I've owned this generator for two years now and I couldn't be happier. It has kept our house warm and comfortable through 10 power outages and has started every time even down to 5 degree Fahrenheit in a snow storm. I leave it outside year around I couldn't be happier.

Neat Generator

Between owning a WGen3600DFc and this one, they both are on the heavy side so a two person lift is recommended. I like the protective covering on this model unlike the open body on the WGen3600DFc. I have not used this one yet but I expect to have the same results as my other generator. I bought this one as it runs in less fuel but for longer. Both generator are relatively the same size.

Great features, product and value.

I bought this two weeks ago. My residential power source is a rural electric cooperative. I bought it to provide backup power to my house in the event of future storm related high winds that can disrupt power for extended periods as happened this past summer. I am very happy with the quality and price of this generator.

Great Generator

I bought this to power my 2,200 sq ft home. My home is totally electric and it powers everything in my home. It also powers my central a/c unit which is an a/c, heat pump combination. I tested this generator by turning on every single light, in my home and I also started my washer and dryer along with my electric stove including the oven, and even my microwave, and air fryer. I went to extreme by running EVERYTHING in my home at the same time which will likely never happen in daily living. I wanted to be certain this generator would handle the load in a power outage and it surpassed my expectations. Great generator.

Nice Generator for the price

I spent a lot of time researching on the internet and liked how many positive reviews this had. I have only tested it to make sure it works and so far I'm impressed with it. It is easy to move around with the handle and the remote start is convenient.
